The Town Commissioners, staff/employees, and citizens wish to extend our appreciation to all those who have served protecting our freedom & way of life.

Please be advised that the Pittsville Town Commissioners will hold two sessions on Wednesday, November 2, 2022 at Town Hall.

The first session will be held at 6:30pm. Please note that this session will be closed to the public.

The second session will be held at 7:30pm. The purpose of this work session will be to review the zoning code ordinance submitted by the Planning/Zoning Commission. This session will be open for public viewing.

Please be advised that Governor Larry Hogan has announced the awardees of the Community Legacy Grant Program to include:

The Town of Pittsville awarded $25,000 in grant funds to undertake a “Facade Improvement Program” to assist property owners with the rehabilitation and improvement of their properties within the “Sustainable Communities” approved mapping area.

The Town Commissioners are in the process of discussing and proposing the FY23 “Street Improvement Program” for the Town for the coming year. As the Town Commissioners, Town Manager, and Director of Public Works explore what streets to be considered for work, the Town would like to offer the opportunity for our residents to propose what streets should be considered as well.

The FY23 “Street Improvement Program” will be on the agenda for discussion at the next regular Town Commission meeting scheduled for October 17, 2023. Anyone having questions or desiring more information should contact the Town Manager at 410-835-8872.

The Town of Pittsville has been approved and will be receiving a grant for $50,000 to continue as the “sponsoring” agency to administer the Maryland Town Manager/Circuit Rider program for another year commencing October 1, 2022. This will enable the Town of Pittsville as well as the Towns of Sharptown and Willards to continue to employ by contract the services of our present Town Manager, JOE MANGINI.

The Maryland Town Manager/Circuit Rider (TMCR) program was designed by the State’s Department of Housing/Community Development (DHCD) to offer financial grant assistance to those “rural” towns which are in need of administrative managerial duties/services that their regular town employees could not or were unable to provide due to staffing shortage or lack of available funds.

In order to participate in the TMCR program, there must be at least two (2) towns willing to form together in a circuit with one (like PITTSVILLE) serving as the sponsoring agency responsible for pay roll processing, monitoring time sheets, and preparing quarterly reports.

This is the 5th successful grant application the Town has received. Each town is responsible to utilize the services of the TMCR in whatever manner best addresses that town’s needs. From the very beginning in 2017, Pittsville chose to use the TMCR as a part time Town Manager who is available for three (3) days (Monday, Wednesday, & Friday) whereby Sharptown and Willards have chosen to use the TMCR as a Grants Administrator.

Anyone interested in additional information about this program and how it has benefited the Town of Pittsville can call the Town Hall to speak with our TMCR (JOE MANGINI) at 410-835-8872.

THE TOWN OF PITTSVILLE HAS RECEIVED A REQUEST FROM THE POSTAL SERVICE ASKING RESIDENTS TO NOT PLACE THEIR TRASH CONTAINERS NEAR THE MAIL BOXES.

THIS IS CAUSING A PROBLEM FOR THE MAIL CARRIERS IN THEIR EFFORT TO DELIVER MAIL TO THE RESIDENTS.

EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2019, THE TOWN OF PITTSVILLE WILL ENTER INTO A NEW CONTRACT WITH CHESAPEAKE WASTE INDUSTRIES.

THE MANAGEMENT FROM CHESAPEAKE WASTE WILL INFORM THE ROUTE DRIVERS NOT TO LEAVE TRASH CONTAINERS IN FRONT OF MAIL BOXES.

THE TOWN OF PITTSVILLE WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL PARTIES FOR THEIR COOPERATION IN THIS MATTER.
