(Sept. 28, 2017) The Berlin Mayor and Council discussed the following items during a public meeting at Town Hall on Monday.
Oceans East update
The council unanimously approved the purchase of 36 EDUs, or equivalent dwelling units measuring water consumption, for the new Oceans East apartment complex on Seahawk Road. The total cost is $600,696.
Developer Blair Rinnier of Rinnier Development Company said the EDUs would be allocated to a new 36-unit building with an elevator.
In January the council approved the sale of 48 EDUs for two new apartment buildings at the site.
Rinnier said the project was going well and many inquired about space in the complex, which includes one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. He said the first building could be finished later this fall.

Salt agreement
The council also unanimously approved a three-year agreement with the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) to purchase salt and aggregate materials to combat ice and snow on town roads.
Town Administrator Laura Allen said the agreement was routinely done about this time each year. She added SHA requested the three-year agreement.
The cost was not to exceed $4,500.
Rescheduled
Administrative Services Director Mary Bohlen said two movie screenings, postponed by rain, would be made up during the next two weeks – weather permitting.
The coming-of-age baseball tale, “The Sandlot,” was moved to Saturday, Sept. 30 at 7 p.m. in Dr. William Henry Park.
Oscar-winning time travel romp “Back to the Future,” staring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, will screen on Saturday, Oct. 7 at 7 p.m. in Stephen Decatur Park.
Bohlen added the next Town Council meeting would be held Tuesday, Oct. 10 at 7 p.m. in Town Hall, because of the Columbus Day holiday on Oct. 9.
Berlin Falls grant applications
Economic and Community Development Director Ivy Wells said she was working with Dave Wilson, from Community Conservation Consultants, to write a pair of grant applications through the Maryland Coastal Bays Program, for Berlin Falls park.
Wells said she was acting on behalf of project coordinator David Deutsch, who was out of town. Deutsch was recently named the interim town manager of Sykesville, Maryland, but remains under contract with the Town of Berlin.
