Hi All, See the Draft Agenda for the 11/18/14 council meeting below. Also, residents are encouraged to come to the ceremonial swearing-in of Mayor Treminio-Lopez at 6:30pm tonight. The new mayor, Rocio Treminio-Lopez was officially sworn-in as mayor this morning by the Clerk of the Circuit court, since she and the deputies werent available to come to the town hall this evening. (She was voted-in as Mayor on 11/6/14 after they accepted the resignation of Jim Coksey. Note below the solicitation of residents interested in serving as councilmember to fill the vacant councilmember seat. I think theyll appoint the new councilmember during the December 4th Council Meeting (rescheduled from December 2nd). (I believe the council did follow the requirements of the town charter for the selection of the replacement mayor; the agenda was sent the day before the meeting which indicated the selection of the replacement mayor and the council selection was voted-on in the form of a resolution.) ++++++++++++++++++++++ Agenda - plain text version for fb posting: ++++++++++++++++++++++ Town of Brentwood Council Chambers 4300 39th Place Brentwood, MD 20722 SWEARING IN CEREMONY: 6:30 pm - Swearing in of Mayor by Senator Victor Ramirez COUNCIL MEETING OF THE MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL OF BRENTWOOD Tuesday, November 18, 2014 7:30 pm AGENDA I.
