Title
A RESOLUTION CONCERNING DELEGATION OF ZONING ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY TO THE CITY OF COLLEGE PARK for the purpose of approving certain proposed amendments to the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of College Park and County Council of Prince George’s County, sitting as the District Council, regarding the enforcement of zoning laws within the municipal boundaries of the City of College Park.
Background
Pursuant to provisions of the Regional District Act as amended by the Maryland General Assembly during its 2002 Regular Session, the County Council of Prince George's County, Maryland, sitting as the District Council was given authority to enter into an agreement with a municipal corporation for purposes of providing zoning enforcement within the corporate boundaries of said municipal corporation. Accordingly, and in compliance with the terms of the 2002 State law, on or about September 17, 2002, the City of College Park forwarded a proposed Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") for consideration by the District Council. Thereafter, on October 22, 2002, the District Council approved CR-57-2002 to approve the proposed terms of a zoning enforcement MOU with the City of College Park and authorized the Chairman of the County Council to execute the MOU on behalf of the District Council.
Thereafter, there is now a need to refine the language of the October 2002 MOU in order to fully elucidate the intent of the parties at the time of execution to present. Consequently, this Resolution approves proposed amendments to the 2002 and will authorize the Chairman to execute said amendments on behalf of the District Council.
