Greetings Neighbor, On November 6, 2018, I was elected to be your Councilman representing the viewpoints of the amazing people of the Second District of Howard County.
District 5 covers approximately 50% of the land area of Howard County. It includes areas such as Highland, Woodbine, Glenwood, Mt. Airy, Woodstock, Cooksville, West Friendship, Dayton, Glenelg and parts of Ellicott City, Clarksville, Marriottsville, and Sykesville.
Welcome to our district! Our office is honored to serve District 1 — Ellicott City, Dorsey’s Search, Elkridge and Hanover. As you look through our site, you'll find information about D1 development projects, photos from around the district, our office's legislation, and more.
You can check this page for updates from Councilwoman Christiana Rigby, including information about the Columbia Villages of Owen Brown and Kings Contrivance, as well as communities in North Laurel, Savage, Jessup, Guilford, and Elkridge.
Welcome to the heart of Howard County. District 4 includes five Columbia villages: Wilde Lake, Harper’s Choice, Hickory Ridge, Town Center, and River Hill, as well as parts of Clarksville, Highland, Fulton, Scaggsville, and North Laurel.
Under the County Charter, the Council must establish a Charter Review Commission every eight years. The Commission consists of 15 residents of Howard County. The purpose of the Commission is to review the County Charter and make any recommendations for changes to the Charter to the County Council.
Ever find yourself confused about what's happening in local government? It can be tough to stay on top of local legislation and politics so I have put together this snapshot to make you look like a local pro without having to do all the homework.
Deb has served as the District 4 Councilmember since 2018. Columbia has been her home for more than three decades. She brings to the Council her professional experience as an attorney, years of civic engagement, and passion for her community.
The Howard County Charter and Code empower the County Council to adopt maps dividing the County into various zoning districts, each of which has certain regulations that govern the development and use of land within the district.
Council Resolution 74-2014 established the Task Force to Study Mulching, Composting, and Wood Processing policies and regulations with respect to Howard County land use planning processes and Zoning Regulations.
Council Resolution 119-2017 established an Economic Opportunity and Prosperity Task Force dedicated to exploring ways to create as many pathways to economic prosperity as possible for individuals and businesses in Howard County.
Many District 4 residents suffer from excessive noise and environmental pollution caused by incessant plane traffic to and from BWI-Marshall Airport. As a member of the citizen advisory BWI Roundtable, I have dedicated countless hours seeking relief from the Superhighway in the Sky.
Subject to the requirements of Section 22.1000 of the County Code, reports from various departments, boards, and commissions are annually made available electronically to the County Council detailing their activities performed in that year.
