# County Commissioners Meeting || 10/27/2026

The Queen Anne’s County Commissioners meeting, held October 27, 2026, included several funding and infrastructure actions. Sitting as the Sanitary Commission, commissioners approved a request 4–1 for 11,375 gallons per day of additional water and sewer capacity for Brent Paquin’s proposed 46-townhome Courtyards at Nesbitt development, at a stated allocation cost of $737,100; a 10% nonrefundable deposit is due within 30 days. Commissioners also approved $180,000 for the Sudlersville Ski Club clubhouse replacement and capital improvements, toward a $330,000 project, and approved $15,000 for Centerville’s Christmas Town USA decorations, although the town had requested up to $5,000. A gold sponsorship for the Kennard Gala was approved; the stated gold level was $1,000 or more. No contract awards or competitive procurements were discussed.

A proposed Merganser Drive road upgrade was heard, with an estimated total cost of $150,000 to be assessed among 34 benefited property owners—estimated at $4,412 per owner as a lump sum or $311 annually for 20 years at 3.5% interest. Commissioners left the record open and planned to decide at a later meeting. Several zoning and land-use amendments, the 2026 comprehensive water and sewer plan, and the road assessment were likewise held open for further comment rather than finally adopted. Commissioners separately approved future compensation for Board of Education members: $6,000 annually for the president and $5,500 for voting members, effective after the 2028 election, with 2% annual increases beginning July 1, 2029. The meeting also discussed new federal website and digital-accessibility requirements and the staff workload and potential costs of compliance.
