Vote on Monday on Social Media Policy for Council
At the Council Meeting Monday, we’ll be voting on the adoption of a Social Media Policy for City Council — It’s the first such policy specifically for Council and has the potential to provide important guidance to Councilmembers now and into the future.
Worked on collaboratively over the last seven months, most of the content is a consolidation of existing laws, just addressed to their particular applications in the social media space. For example:
-
Already existing Ethics rules prevent Councilmembers from endorsing political candidates, since our roles are non-partisan. So this policy reiterates that social media posts should not contain any endorsements either.
-
Also, existing Ethics rules prevent a Councilmember from promoting their own campaign when they’re acting in their official capacity. So this policy reiterates that a Councilmember can’t promote or link to their own campaign from their Councilmember social media pages on Facebook, Instagram, etc.
-
Another relates to a U.S. Supreme Court case last year which formally established that official elected official social media pages are considered a ‘public forum’, and therefore comments cannot be unreasonably blocked or moderated. (Reasonable restrictions are permitted around things like profanity, threats, spamming, overrun, etc.)
-
A fourth, is that existing Open Meetings laws prevent a quorum of Councilmembers (3 or more) from debating policy decisions under consideration outside of an appropriately published public meeting. So in social media world, this means that there can’t be a comment thread where more than two Councilmembers are sharing an exchange discussing what decision to make.
-
One last highlight is that Councilmembers, as the City’s Legislative Branch, are appropriately considered distinct from the City’s Executive Branch. As a result, the Executive Branch can support Councilmembers in the fulfillment of their official duties online, but does not hold responsibility to govern as they do for City Departments and other City social media pages. It is empowered to act to the degree needed to enforce applicable laws or protect City’s legal interests, intellectual property, or public reputation.
You can read the full policy as part of the meeting packet for the September 22 Council meeting and please feel free to reach out to me with any comments, suggestions, or questions as well!
At the end of the day, the theme of the document is to aid Councilmembers in understanding how the standing laws bear on their conduct in the social media space so we can uphold the standards that we’re all pledged to and reflect due professionalism in the business of the Council.

Download my Elderly & Veterans Tax Credit presentation
Recently I met with group of seniors here in Laurel to share about the Laurel Elderly & Veterans Property Tax Credit – Earlier this year I authored an update to lift the 5-year expiration of the credit as a way of helping seniors and veterans more affordably ‘age in place’ and remain important parts of our communities.
You can download a copy of the presentation, which also includes graphics showing real estate tax trends here in Prince George’s County. Some of the key pointers:
-
If you’re 65 or older, or a retired member of the armed services, who’s been in their home for ten years or more, there’s a good chance you qualify for this credit.
-
The credit equals 20% of Laurel property tax assessed on the first $500k of your home.
-
It cannot be combined with any other City property tax credit, but it can be layered on top of your Homestead Credit applied to your Laurel property taxes.
-
The presentation download also includes a summary of Prince Georges County and State of Maryland property tax credits available to seniors and veterans as well.
It was a pleasure getting to meet and help folks learn more about this credit, and please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions too!
Laurel Rides the Rails / City Hall in the Park -- Highlights & Pics
»Laurel Rides the Rails at the Laurel Museum«
Over the summer, I took the kiddos to see the fun exhibit on display at the Laurel Museum called “Laurel Rides the Rails: Tales of Trains & Trolleys”. Laurel boasts the oldest continuously operating train station on the historic B&O Railroad, itself the oldest railroad in the United States – Quite an honor! Not to mention the trolleys that used to run down to DC starting at what is now Oliver’s Tavern on Main Street. It’s amazing to see how connected Laurel has been even from its earliest days, and while you’ll find wonderful peaks into the past on the first floor, kids can also find a fun room in the cellar room: coloring pages, train set for playing, and a train garden specially made with Laurel landmarks (pictured below with my kiddos). It makes for a fun afternoon and you can catch it during normal museum hours Friday - Sunday 12 - 4 p.m. and the exhibit runs thru Dec 21.
»City Hall in the Park at Patuxent Greens«
The City Hall in the Park series have been a great fun to attend over the summer, and August’s installment was no exception. We had a great turnout at the City Clubhouse over on Greenview Drive in the Patuxent Greens, good food (with Communications Director Natalie Williams as grill master), good information sharing from the Department Directors (e.g., be sure to check out Parks & Recs Fall 2025 brochure for all the fun ahead), and good opportunity to ask and get questions answered. Thank you to all who came out, and the last one will take place on Thursday, Sep 25 at Emacipation Park starting at 6:30 p.m.

Changes to How Cities Get their Money
Last week, I attended a webinar hosted by the Maryland Municipal League (MML) on changing how municipalities (like Laurel) receive their funding.
As you may be aware, 67% of our City’s revenue comes from property taxes – This can be a help when property values are strong/ rising, but it can also be a risk to have so much coming from only one source.
So MML is exploring with the state legislators possible ways to diversify revenue sources, resulting in greater economic stability for cities and towns across the state.
It remains to be seen how/when this may materialize, but I’ll be keeping tabs on and share as I learn more.
Laurel Elementary Back-to-School Bash - Highlights & Pics
I recently enjoyed visiting Laurel Elementary School for their Back-to-School Bash kicking off their 2025/6 school year – There were bounce houses, face painting, free vaccines, free food, after-school program vendors, energetic music, and more!
While there, I had to pleasure to connect with Principal Tyrone Harris and we took a few moments to chat about how the school was doing and plans for the coming year. An area of focus for him right now is deepening the engagement with the parents of students, including a new Parent Teacher Organization and encouraging parents to help out in programs at the school. Communication is already strong, and this represents a next step in strengthen the school community.
I also chatted with Mae Nweke of Young Engineers, one of the after-school program providers. She uses interlocking bricks with mechanics to teach engineering concepts while having fun. As she described, ‘engineering is a critical skill for kids to learn nowadays and is highly relevant for the future.’
It was great to see the energy for the new school year - made me want to get a new pencil case and sharpener just to be a part. 😉 And also encouraging to see the teachers, staff, and programs investing in bringing up the next generation of Laurelites!

PG County Real Estate Trends + Proposed Property Tax Change
Prince George’s County is considering changes to its “municipal tax differentials” – the County property tax credit we as Laurel residents receive since we rely instead on our City for certain services (like police, trash pickup, & others).
Bottom line: They’re eliminating one credit, adding another, with a negligible net difference to Laurelites – so okay on that front.
But something I found interesting woven inside the report: Charts showing real estate trends for Prince George’s County. Sharing here, with my notes added:
NOTE 1: The median sales price for existing homes increased from $252k to $448k between 2016 to 2025 – a 78% increase overall, and equivalent to a 6% increase per year.
NOTE 2: Thus far in 2025, there’s been an average of 615 homes sold in PG County per month, down from the 695 per month last year, and down from the pre-COVID average in the 800s.
NOTE 3: As of Jun 2025, homes averaged around 27 days on the market, up from the hot market during COVID when it was as low as 12 days.
NOTE 4: PG County’s real estate tax base has been growing by double-digits for 11 years in a row, even as much as 24% in recent years. This points out the critical importance to home owners of the Homestead Credit to cap your annual increase even if your property value goes up more.
Hope you find the above interesting as well!
What are those Bump-outs on Main Street about?
If you’ve made your way down Main Street lately, you’ve likely seen the series of newly installed “bump-outs” along both sides of the street and may be wondering ‘what that’s all about’?
They’re actually part of a multi-stage Main Street safety enhancement the City has been working on, including:
-
Flashing light pedestrian cross-walks;
-
Enhanced pedestrian and traffic signage;
-
Updated pavement markings;
-
Tree trimmings, and more
The bump-outs themselves are designed to increase ‘line of sight’ for vehicles entering Main Street from the side roads — If you’ve attempted to turn onto Main Street over the years from these side roads, you’ve likely experienced difficulty looking up-and-down the street for cross-traffic. This makes that much easier.
I know for myself, working on Main Street and walking up and down to the restaurants, Post Office, and other businesses each week, I do feel like vehicle traffic has improved over the last 3 years as these changes have been rolled out. Of course, there’s unfortunately still your occasional discourteous driver that isn’t paying heed, but by-and-large as I enter a crosswalk, I find drivers slowing and stopping for a safe crossing.
If you’re interested to see more on the changes, check out this presentation with pictures and descriptions, and of course, just let myself or the folks at DPW know if you have any questions.
Laurel Police host National Night Out next Tue, Aug 5
National Night Out is an annual community-building event that promotes police and community partnerships. It’s also a great excuse to bring out the entire family for a night of FREE food, music, meet the K-9 unit, see a Rescue Squad vehicle extract and just enjoy being outside around Laurel Lakes with our community.
Come from 6 to 8 p.m. at Granville Gude Park next to the lake (there’s also an adjoining playground for the kids). This is also a perfect opportunity to interact with our local police department, share thoughts, ask questions, and build relationships. I can guarantee you’ll find them open, interested, and wanting to connect as they truly take to heart their pledge to protect and serve.
This a great tradition we have here in Laurel and I know you’ll enjoy being a part! 👮🏼👮🏾♀️🚓🙂
Important Changes to Konterra Master Plan + Your Voice
Konterra has been ‘under development’ for almost half a century, but ground finally started to break last fall and actual construction is currently underway on Phase 1 townhome units.
However, significant changes to the development plan are being proposed, due in no small part to the changing economic landscape both since plans were first adopted and more recent shifts.
As reported by Voices of Laurel in their Facebook post recap’ing Monday’s Town Hall meeting hosted by PG County Councilman Tom Dernoga:
Konterra was to include 3 downtowns with anchor stores and 24 local centers. Changes in the real estate market, the demise of department stores, and other factors have necessitated changes to the 2035 Master Plan. Developers now propose more housing, smaller but more plentiful shops, walking and biking paths, and activity centers
Although Konterra is just outside Laurel City limits, it promises to have a big impact on our town and region. And as residents of District 1 of Prince Georges County, all City residents have a voice and part to play in the direction Konterra goes. Councilmember Dernoga has stressed that input from the public is a critical part of the development plan changes, and you can reach out directly to his offices with any questions, thoughts, or ideas.
A couple resource for you as well:

Juneteenth / MML Conference / City Hall in the Park - Highlights & Pics
»Juneteenth Festival«
The first half of the summer has been chock full of great activities, including our City’s Juneteenth Festival marking Freedom Day when the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation reached Texas at the end of the Civil War. Residents and vendors were out for a beautiful afternoon, including guest vocalists and the Laurel Boys & Girls Club Wildcats (one of whom is pictured below receiving a special proclamation from the Mayor). I also had a chance to connect with Mr. Joseph Fisher of First Generation College Bound and listened as he shared the importance of a values-driven culture supporting youth to provide them a springboard to their future. If you haven’t been out to City’s annual Juneteenth Festival, I recommend you check it out and help mark this important turning point in our nation’s history.

»Maryland Municipal League Summer Conference«
Each year hundreds and hundreds of Maryland’s Mayors, Councilmembers, City Department Heads, and more convene for an annual summer conference to learn and share ways to help their municipalities be successful. Certification classes I took at the event included topics such as Open Meetings Act, Public Information Act, Municipal Employment Law, Social Media & 1st Amendment, Planning for Continuity of Operations, and Cyber risks for Municipal Governments. I also participated in the pre-conference tour of the historic town of Snow Hill where I connected with their Economic Development Director and Main Street Non-profit & got a number of good ideas to bring back to Laurel (more to come on that down the road).
»City Hall in the Park«
A great way to connect with City elected representatives and City Departments are at the monthly summer City Halls in the Park. This month’s was held at Marcus Colbert Community Park and was well attended, featured food and kid face painting, and a great opportunity to connect and hear questions and topics on everyone’s minds. I met a couple who had just moved to Laurel two weeks prior and were able to share experiences and ideas for work they have done that will help benefit Laurel. And during our open Q&A session, multiple residents shared their interest in seeing Laurel attract a great array of businesses to build up the economic vibrancy of our town, something very near and dear to my heart as well. Thank you for everyone who came out, to our City team for putting on the event, and the next one will be on Thursday, August 28 starting at 6:30 p.m. at the Greenview Drive Cabana.

Caring for the Patchwork of Alleys in Old Town
You may not even notice them if you’re not looking, but scattered all across Old Town in Laurel are short and long alleys that run behind many of the houses. Fixtures of a bygone era, some are indiscernible without a survey, others are regularly used by residents to access their back driveways, and others are slowly degrading with time.
As time has gone on, one of the challenges has been figuring out which ones belong to whom, since they go so far back to a time when records are scarce – Many are considered part of each resident’s private property, some are public and used by the City, and others are considered abandoned. When it comes to upkeep, then, the question has become who has ultimate jurisdiction for each alley?
Around 2020/ 2021, the City undertook a research project to figure out as best it could what all the alleyways were, how they were being used, and which belonged to whom. That effort got distilled down into Resolution 9-21 signed into law in October 2021 providing a table of alleys and a protocol for approaching their maintenance and possible improvement.
The gist is that the City pro-actively maintains the City-owned and/or officially used alleys, while residents ultimately retain responsibility for resident-owned alley ways. Some protocols are laid out for those resident-owned alleys where the City can opt to help shoulder some costs for improvements, but legal ownership of those still remains with the residents.
If you happen to be impacted, or are just curious to learn more, here’s a copy of Resolution 9-21, also available from the Office for the Clerk to the Council.
