Capt. Marty Lurz was unable to attend but sent this public safety report for Precinct 7:

  1. The "cat burglary" trend I spoke of has been put down with the arrests of four suspects.

  2. Residential "open garage door walk-in" burglaries in which the thieves are stealing golf clubs are on the increase. However, we have identified two suspects for several of these crimes county-wide (not just confined to Precinct 7) and are actively trying to locate them. We are looking for a 1993 "Grayish-Greenish" Volvo 4-door with Maryland Tag 2 B M G 6 3. If anyone sees that car, please call 911.

  3. Since school has ended for the summer, the Lutherville and Timonium areas have been plagued by acts of spray-painting and graffiti vandalism. We made an arrest early Monday morning at Ridgley Plaza Shopping Center of an active "tagger" (spray-painter) and feel that we have made some substantial progress in putting this issue down...BUT...we are still working on other incidents in the area.

  4. Light Rail Issues - Honestly, the biggest problem with the Light Rail recently has been the gates getting stuck in the down position when trains aren't coming! MTA is aware and is working on it.

Mark Demski gave the report from the County Department of Homeland Security and
Emergency Management. This was followed by State Highway Administration report
from Kelly Kosino.

Bill Hughey, County Office of Planning, led our discussion on residential development planned for the defined Hunt Valley area from Seminary Avenue to Hereford along the York Road/I-83 corridor. With PowerPoint and hand out, Bill located each area for which plans have been submitted with the stage of development to date. A total of 962 dwelling units are included out of which 304 have been developed. The units range from single family to multi family.

Paul Obrecht followed with the unveiling of a residential development in the planning stages within the Sparks Corporate Center, a commercial development.For additional information contact:
