ed to be included in the upcoming
bond sale is the construction of a
downtown recreation complex,
skate park renovation and expan-
sion, canal dredging and effluent
disinfection of the wastewater treat-
ment plant.
After going back and conducting
research to address council con-
cerns over a downtown recreation
complex and a park lease with Wor-
cester County, McGean explained
in December of 2009 the county
presented a revised lease proposal
to the city.
The revised proposal deleted
some clauses Ocean City had found
objectionable in the county's origi-
nal proposed lease and extended
the lease term from 15 years to 25
years. Because the project had
been delayed indefinitely by the
time this revised lease was re-
ceived, and the lease term was for
only 25 years, the council voted not
to accept the lease and to read-
dress the lease issue when and if
the park improvement project mov-
ed forward. A copy of the lease sign-
ed by the county, but not the city,
was in the official files which ac-
counts for the confusion on the sta-
tus of the lease.
"My suspicion with the downtown
recreation complex is the county will
try to tie this in with the tax differen-
tial once again ... because of that
this would not be a doable project
... even though I would love to see
a downtown recreation complex,"
Council Secretary Mary Knight said.
Mitrecic agreed he would also
like to see the complex but without
an agreement with the county
where they would turn the land over
to the city he could not see the proj-
ect moving forward.
"It has been a long time coming
and there is nothing that I would
rather see done as a councilmem-
ber than that downtown project but I
just don't think it is a liable issue
with the circumstances between us
and the county," he said.
The renovation and expansion of
the Ocean Bowl Skate Park was not
discussed as the proposed project
is tied in with the downtown recre-
ation complex that was eliminated
from the plan at this time.
Councilman Dennis Dare object-
ed to canal dredging being included
in the bond sale.
"I am all for dredging the canals.
However ... I feel that if you are go-
ing to bond something for 20 years
it ought to last 20 years ... I am not
so sure that Mother Nature is going
to allow the canals to remain open
for 20 years once we dredge them,"
he said. "The waterfront property
owners already pay a premium in
their taxes to the Town of Ocean
City, Worcester County and to the
State of Maryland. The canals are
open to the public just like the road
ways, so I think it is something that
we should pay as we go through our
tax receipts."
In the end, the council was in
consensus to add the headquarters
and effluent disinfection to the al-
ready approved bond projects of the
Convention Center auditorium and
a roof for the Public Safety Building
and Service Center.
Between all the projects, the cur-
rent total estimate cost for all proj-
ects to go to the bond market is a-
round $12.5 million.
The bond projects and their esti-
mated costs will return to the Mayor
and City Council for formal approval
in first reading on Sept. 17 and the
second reading on Oct. 7.

OCDC for the proposal.
"This is a generous offer on your
part to move this project forward. In
light of the conditions of the current
beach patrol headquarters and the
OCDC is willing to step up, I will
make a motion to include the beach
patrol headquarters in the next bond
issuance," he said, adding the coun-
cil will have to closely examine the
project's needs and wants to lower
the cost estimate.
The council voted unanimously
to approve including a new head-
quarters in the upcoming bond sale.
