    Cc: Daniel RegisterSubject: Condo Rental stickers

    Your Honor and Ocean City Council members,

    According to the people working at City Hall, they are telling all of our Blaire Isle Condominium owners that rent their unitthat the Mayor and City Council passed an ordinance that all Rental Stickers MUST be placed on the front door of therental unit or face a fine if not AFFI XED TO the DOOR.

    We take pride in the appearance of our building and do not want anything stuck on the front of our fiberglass doors, thesticker not only takes away from the appearance of our building, it also interferes when the doors need painting. Wehave always required our owners to place the sticker on the kitchen window glass panel which is three feet one inch fromeither the left or the right side of the entrance door. The Association paints all doors at the same time and by placing thesticker on the glass window and not on the fiberglass door, the sticker is always visible and it would not interfere with ourpaint schedule.

    If in fact, you have an ordinance that says it must be on the door, we request that the ordinance be modified to read thatthe sticker must be visible from the entrance door or be within so many feet of the entrance door. If the ordinance is not

    modified, we request an exception be issued to allow us to place the sticker on the glass window next to the door.Attached is a picture of proximity of sticker and entrance door at Blaire Isle

    Thank you,

    MEMORANDUM

    TO: Richard Meehan, Interim City Manager

    FROM: Joseph J. Theobald, Emergency Services Director

    SUBJECT: Fee proposal for disclosure of telephone and radio records

    DATE: May 7, 2012

    During our FY2013 budget presentation before the Mayor & Council, I informed you thatone of the goals this year for the Communications Division is to develop a policy regarding

    the disclosure of telephone and radio records when requested under the Maryland PublicInformation Act, and an appropriate fee schedule for the production of such records.Pursuant to Maryland law, the records maintained by a Public Safety CommunicationsCenter are public records and subject to disclosure in certain instances; therefore, it isnecessary for the Emergency Services Department to establish policies and procedures forthe disclosure of telephone and radio records. I am proposing the following policy toaddress this matter:

    1. General public requests for telephone and/or radio records shall be in accordancewith the Maryland Public Information Act (MPIA) and must be submitted in writing

    to the Director of the Ocean City Department of Emergency Services. The request

    must specify the date, address, approximate time and any other pertinent

    information regarding the incident for which information is requested. A minimum

    of ten (10) days processing will be allowed for research of the records, and

    notification to the requester that the Department is the custodian of the requested

    records. A maximum of thirty (30) days processing will be allowed for reproduction

    of the records or to provide reasons, under the MPIA, that the request is denied.

    2. A service fee of forty dollars ($40.00) will be charged for each incident, for theproduction of any records, including taped records, leaving the custody of the

    department. Payment must accompany the initial request and will be requiredbefore any research and or production of records leaving the custody of the

    department.

    3. An affidavit (Certification Document) will accompany the records/tape indicatingthat the record/tape is a true and correct copy; that the record/tape was made in the

    regular course of business; that the record/tape was made simultaneously with

    receipt of the call; and that it is the practice of the Public Safety Communications

    Center to make such recordings and documents.

    4. Emergency Medical Services calls, documents or tapes containing medicalinformation WILL NOT be released without a written court order (a subpoena will

    not be considered a court order) or a written and signed authorization from the

    injured party.

    5. Police assistance calls, documents or tapes may not be disclosed to any individualsother than the investigating law enforcement agency and/or the appropriate States

    Attorney, pending review to determine whether or not disclosure would be

    inappropriate.

    6. The release of tapes and/or information to the media will follow all the policies setforth in paragraphs 1 through 3 above. Once these requirements have been met, the

    following will occur:

    o The request will be reviewed by the City Solicitor.o The City Solicitor will confer with the appropriate States Attorney or

    investigating officer to determine if any release will interfere with any on-

    going investigation.

    o The City Solicitor will advise the Emergency Services Director as to thedisposition of the record/tape disclosure.

    7. No one will be permitted to enter the Public Safety Communications Center toobtain a record.

    8. These rules may be waived or adjusted by the Emergency Services Director for goodcause shown.

    9. Requests from Ocean City Police Department or Ocean City Fire Departmentpersonnel shall be processed according to internal policy and procedures.

    It is requested that this matter be placed on the agenda for an upcoming Work Session

    to be presented to the Mayor & City Council in order to seek their approval to proceed

    ith this proposal.
