North Beach  Again Wins the Library Derby 
By Dick MyersEditor 
North Beach has won the competition for the site of the new Twin Beaches Library. North Beach and Chesapeake Beach have been vying for the distinc-tion for months. North Beach had been chosen once before but the site selection process was reopened in March.Chesapeake Beach Mayor Pat Mahoney criticized the initial decision, saying that North Beach had been given two bites out of the apple by being allowed to submit a revised proposal.The Calvert County Board of Library Trustees (BOLT) then reopened the pro-cess saying that the two proposals from the towns were for leasing town lands. In a press release the board said, “In order to qualify for a state capital grant possibly worth up to $2.3 million, the county or library will need to own the property on which the library would be built.”The towns were invited to resubmit their proposals for donating their land instead. The towns then made proposals to the library board at a meeting last month.The library board presented their recommendation to the Calvert County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) at their May 15 meeting. The rec-ommendation said: “The BOLT greatly appreciated the interest of both towns and the thoughtful presentations provided. Both towns’ proposals met the basic criteria for site selection and each had unique positive aspects. After completing a scoring matrix for both proposals, the BOLT determined that the site offered by North Beach provided a highly accessible location that was more compatible with library activities, in a closely integrated cultural, business, residential and civic center.”The North Beach site is on the Bay near the center of town. Chesapeake Beach’s site was behind the water park and near Kellum Field.The BOCC voted 4-0 to approve the BOLT recommendation. Commissioner Tom Hejl recused himself because his wife works for the libraries.Commissioner Pat Nutter noted the decision was tough because both towns’ passion for the project. “I think we have to follow the (BOLT) recommendation,” he said.Commissioner Mike Hart added, “There is no right decision, but a decision has to be made.”Mayor Mahoney attended the meeting but was not given the opportunity to speak.The new library is expected to cost almost $8 million, with $2.2 million com-ing from State Capital Grant funds and the rest from the county. State monies are
expected sometime in the scal years 2020-2022 time frame.
