Bill > HB1155

This bill allows Calvert County to enter into longer-term contracts for infrastructure and asset management programs, specifically for items like water towers and flow meters that have a lifespan of at least 15 years, and these contracts can include all aspects from planning to decommissioning. It also permits cellular tower leases, including those on water towers, for an initial term of up to 20 years. These provisions are exceptions to the general rule that county contracts requiring payment over multiple fiscal years must be approved by resolution of the Commissioners and typically have shorter renewal options, unless they fall under specific categories like banking, retirement, health insurance, or information technology, which can have up to a 20-year term.
