Cheverly meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Cheverly boards meet on elections, ethics, and Verizon coverage; no decisions finalized

In the past two weeks, three Cheverly town bodies held meetings, but none have published minutes or announced formal decisions. The most substantive agenda items appeared at the Mayor and Council meeting, where representatives from Verizon were scheduled to address coverage concerns and a grant request was presented for a community planting project.

Board of Elections (Aug. 11)

The Board of Election Supervisors met via Zoom to approve minutes from prior meetings, hear resident input, address administrative matters, discuss election improvements, and consider new business. The agenda did not detail specific decisions or contracts. Minutes have not yet been published.

Ethics Commission (Aug. 12)

The Ethics Commission met virtually to consider a request for an Ethics Commission opinion. The meeting opened to the public, then immediately closed to discuss the request, citing legal consultation and confidentiality requirements under Maryland Code § 3-305(b)(7) and (13). The meeting was rescheduled from August 3. No public action was taken.

Mayor & Council — Aug. 13

The Mayor and Council held a virtual town meeting with routine business, including consent agenda approval, committee reports, and department updates. Notable items included:

• A grant request for the Community Native Planting Project (CNPP). No dollar amount was listed.
• A presentation from Verizon representatives to hear coverage concerns and answer questions.
• A police report by Acting Chief Krauss.
• A Public Works update, including the Keller project.
• A closed meeting summary from July 23, 2026.

Cheverly Council Tackles Federal Grant Vote, Election Changes, and Closed Session in Busy Two-Week Stretch

Cheverly's Mayor and Council and Board of Elections held four meetings over the past two weeks, but residents will have to wait for official minutes to learn what was decided. All four sessions are listed as agenda-only, meaning minutes have not yet been published. Here is what was on the table.

CDBG Grant Participation Up for Vote

The most consequential item of the period was a scheduled vote at the July 9 Mayor and Council meeting on whether Cheverly will continue participating in the Prince George's County CDBG Urban County Cooperation Agreement for fiscal years 2027 through 2029. The federal Community Development Block Grant program channels money to local housing, infrastructure, and community-development projects. The outcome of the vote is not yet available in the public record.

The same meeting included a question-and-answer session with Verizon representatives about cellular coverage in town, an update on the bike trail project, and a Public Works update regarding Keller. Reports from the Recreation Council and the Planning Board were also on the agenda.

Board of Elections Reviews Minutes, Discusses Improvements

On July 14, the Cheverly Board of Election Supervisors met to approve minutes from previous meetings, hear resident input, and discuss administrative matters. The agenda also included a discussion of election improvements and a slot for any new business members wished to raise. No outcomes have been published.

Special Closed Session Covers Personnel, Litigation, and Property

The Mayor and Council held a special meeting on July 17 to vote on entering a closed session. Topics listed for the closed portion were personnel matters, consultation for legal advice, discussion of pending or potential litigation, and discussion of real property acquisition for a public purpose. The public record does not yet indicate what, if anything, was decided in those areas.

Work Session Weighs Ranked-Choice Voting and Charter Amendment

Also on July 17, the Mayor and Council held a work session to discuss ranked-choice voting and a proposed charter amendment that would change the town's election date. Neither item is recorded as a decision; both were listed for discussion.

The work session also included briefings on an alcohol license and a live-entertainment amendment for Chop Up Restaurant and Coola Lounge, updates on the Cheverly Station Apartments, and a discussion of the Port Towns partnership and regional initiatives.

What Residents Should Know

Because minutes have not been published for any of these meetings, the items above reflect only what agendas said would be taken up — not what was voted on, amended, or tabled. Residents seeking confirmed outcomes should check the town's official meeting records as minutes become available.
