# Board of County Commissioners Open Session October 22, 2026

The Carroll County Board of Commissioners’ open session on October 22, 2026 included several procurement and funding actions. The Board unanimously approved an $88,834 renewal with Axon Enterprise Inc. for Taser certification and equipment, using competitively bid National Purchasing Partners contract RFP 2530; the purchase was included in the FY2027 budget. It also unanimously approved a 100%-funded FY2027 Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems grant application and acceptance for paramedic continuing education, with training provided through a contractual partnership with Carroll Community College. The Board further approved the purchase of 46.328 acres near Rees Road for the Northern Landfill Master Plan project for $3.4 million.

Other unanimously approved items included revised Trailblazer transit routes, effective January 1, 2027, and an updated transit safety management plan. Commissioners requested a future discussion about reinstating landfill disposal coupons, but took no action on that proposal. A bond sale was expected later that day, though no sale result was reported in the transcript. The agenda review also listed upcoming procurement items, including generator and storm-drainage contract awards; those matters were not decided at this meeting.
