Rockville Mayor & Council to consider dissolving Civic Center and Mansion Subcomittee


Rockville's Mayor and Council will consider a resolution that would dissolve the City's Civic Center and Mansion Subcommittee at its meeting tonight, December 4, 2023 at 7:00 PM. The subcomittee was created in 1991, when the process of creating an historic district around the Glenview Mansion and surrounding grounds was getting started. Over 30 years later, the mansion and grounds are now part of the Rockville Civic Center Park historic district, and the subcommittee has guided to completion the major projects to restore, maintain and enhance the property. As a result, the subcommittee itself - along with several other related City commissions - have recommended disbanding the subcommittee.

Dissolution of the subcommittee will have no impact on funding for the mansion and park. Anticipated future projects will be of a scope that can be successfully handled by the Department of Recreation and Parks, and the Recreation and Park Advisory Board, city staff have concluded. As a result, the staff report suggests the Mayor and Council approve the resolution at tonight's meeting.

Hyundai Sonatas are among the most-stolen vehicles in America, due to the company's failure to install up-to-date anti-theft technology on several models. Hyundai has faced legal action by jurisdictions, and class-action lawsuits, over a theft rampage fueled by TikTok videos showing how easy it is to steal Hyundai vehicles.
