Re: OIG External Report 20-013

The mission of the Office of the Inspector General (“the Office”) is to provide increased
accountability and oversight in the operations of the Baltimore County government (“the County”)
by identifying fraud, abuse, and illegal acts, while also striving to find ways to promote efficiency,
accountability, and integrity.

The Office received a complaint alleging development-related fees were improperly

waived by the County for the Metro Centre at Owings Mills project located in Owings Mills,
Maryland (“the Project”). The complaint alleged the beneficiary of the waiver was Owings Mills
Transit LLC of which the primary member is David S. Brown Enterprises (“the Developer”). In
response to the complaint, the Office initiated an investigation into the Project. The investigation
included witness interviews and a review of various records. The records included legal
agreements, development files, permits, permit-related documentation, public works agreements,
environmental agreements, the County Code, and email communications.

The Office’s investigation found that from 2005 to 2010, the County appropriately
collected performance securities, inspection fees, permit fees, and other development-related fees
(collectively “Securities and Fees”) on the Project in accordance with the County Code and the
Project’s legal documents. However, beginning in 2011 when Arnold Jablon (“Jablon”) became
the Director of the County’s Department of Permits, Approvals, and Inspections (PAI), Securities
and Fees generally stopped being collected at his direction. Based on the size and scope of the
Project, the total Securities and Fees waived by Jablon are estimated to be in the millions of dollars.
According to the County Code, performance securities cannot be waived, and the County
Administrative Officer (CAO) has sole authority to establish or change fees, which would include
waiving fees. In the case of the Project, the Office found no evidence the CAO authorized a waiver
of fees until a letter dated September 21, 2021 was issued by the CAO to the Developer. Also,
there are no references in any of the Project’s legal documents to the waiver of Securities and Fees.

Further, the Office identified certain benefits the Developer appeared to give Jablon while Jablon
served as Director of PAI.

I. Background on the Project

The Project is a $220 million mixed-use development located on a large parcel of land
owned by the State of Maryland (“the State”) near the Owings Mills Metro Station in Owings
Mills, Maryland. The Project consists of residential units, commercial office space, retail space, a
hotel, parking garages, a branch of the Baltimore County Public Library, and a building for the
Community College of Baltimore County Owings Mills satellite campus.

According to media reports, the concept for the Project dates back to the 1990’s. In or
about 2000, the State and the County committed several million dollars towards planning and
infrastructure costs for the Project. In 2005, the development plan for the Project was approved
by the County and a master development agreement (“the Agreement”) was formalized. Pursuant
to the Agreement, the Developer entered into a long-term lease arrangement with the State for the
above-referenced land for the purpose of developing the Project. For a variety of reasons, the only
structure built between approximately 2005 and 2011 was a parking garage. Since 2011, various
other buildings have been constructed, with the most recent being the hotel, which opened on or
about December 1, 2021.

During the course of the Project, various legislation was enacted by the State and the
County to provide financial benefits to the Project to help fund related infrastructure costs. This
included designating the Project as a Transit-Oriented Development, 1 qualifying the Project for
0F

tax-increment financing, and creating a special taxing district for the Project.

II. The Agreement and Related Amendments

On June 8, 2005, the Agreement was executed by the County. The Agreement was with
the Maryland Department of Transportation’s Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) and the
Developer. Due to the complexity of the Project, the Agreement was extensive, consisting of 81
pages and numerous exhibits. There were also two Amendments to the Agreement executed by
the County and the other parties on or about June 27, 2011 and March 18, 2014. The terms of the

1
A Transit-Oriented Development is defined in Section 7-101(m) of the Transportation Article of the Annotated
Code of Maryland as a mix of private or public parking facilities, commercial and residential structures, and uses,
improvements, and facilities customarily appurtenant to such facilities and uses, that: (1) Is part of a deliberate
development plan or strategy involving: (i) Property that is adjacent to the passenger boarding and alighting location
of a planned or existing transit station; or (ii) Property, any part of which is located within one–half mile of the
passenger boarding and alighting location of a planned or existing transit station; (2) Is planned to maximize the use
of transit, walking, and bicycling by residents and employees; and (3) Is designated as a transit–oriented
development by: (i) The Secretary, after considering a recommendation of the Smart Growth Subcabinet established
under § 9–1406 of the State Government Article; and (ii) The local government or multicounty agency with land use
and planning responsibility for the relevant area.

2
Agreement and subsequent Amendments were heavily negotiated by all parties and approved for
legal form and sufficiency by the County’s Office of Law prior to execution. Pursuant to the
investigation, the Office reviewed the Agreement and Amendments and found no reference to a
waiver of Securities and Fees for the Project. The relevant language in the Agreement for purposes
of this report is as follows:

1.5 Development and Operational Costs. Except for those amounts expressly
set forth below or elsewhere in this Agreement, Developer shall be responsible for
all development and operating costs and expenses related to the Project, including
but not limited to all utility costs incurred in constructing any Improvements, any
pre-development costs (such as costs related to Development Approvals) and all
costs associated with installing, operating and maintaining any and all Developer
Improvements. Developer acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for all
costs of completion of the Garage Project[,] the Base Infrastructure and the County
Facility that exceed public funds.

2.4 Developer’s Responsibility for Obtaining the Development Approvals.

Developer shall have sole responsibility for seeking and obtaining the Development
Approvals consistent with the provisions of this Agreement (using its commercially
reasonable efforts) and for paying all costs and expenses relating thereto. In
connection with Developer’s efforts to obtain the Development Approvals, MTA
and County shall cooperate in facilitating the Development Review Process and
lend all reasonable cooperation and assistance to Developer, but at no material
additional cost or expense to MTA or County. MTA and County agree to consent
to any Site Plan, subdivison, or other Government Entity approvals or licenses
which affect or pertain to the uses to which the Development Property or any part
thereof may be devoted; provided the same are consistent with and do not consistute
a Material Change to the Concept plan and the Proposed Development plan and any
additional elements required by the terms of this Agreement, and provided that such
applications are in accordance with the Concept plan, the Proposed Development
plan and the requirements of this Agreement. From time to time, upon Developer’s
request, but at no material additional cost of expense to MTA, MTA, as owner of
the Development Property, shall join in or be the applicant under applications for
any such Development Approvals, Site Plan, subdivision, or other approvals,
provided that such applications are in accordance with the approved Submittals and
the requirements of this Agreement.

3.6 County Facility; Bonds. The County Facility will be constructed by

Developer in accordance with the provisions of the County Facility Memorandum
of Understanding attached hereto as Exhibit 5.3.1.4, and the County Facility Design
and Construction Agreement to be entered into between Developer and County
pursuant to the terms of the County Facility Memorandum of Understanding.
Developer will provide (or cause its contractors to provide) one or more Payment
and Performance Bonds or Letters of Credit (“Security”) covering 100% of the hard
costs of the County Facility. The Security must be in place prior to the issuance of

3
 building permits. County shall have final approval of any bonding company or
banking institution issuing the Security.

23.17 Gratuities. The parties acknowledge that, in connection with the

performance of this Agreement, the giving of or offering to give gratuities (in the
form of entertainment, gifts or otherwise) by Developer, or any agent,
representative or other person acting on behalf of Developer or by any supplier or
subcontractor furnishing material to or performing work for Developer under this
Agreement, or any agent, representative or other person acting on behalf of such
supplier or subcontractor, to any director, officer or employee of MTA or County,
or to any director, officer, employee or agent of any of MTA’s or County’s
respective agents, consultants or representatives, with a view toward securing an
agreement or securing favorable treatment with respect to the awarding or
amending, or the making of any determination with respect to performance under
this Agreement, is expressly forbidden by law. The parties acknowledge that the
terms of this Section 23.17 shall be strictly construed and enforced against the
offending person or entity in the event of violation of law.

25.1.1.46 Development Approvals means all land use and other approvals,
consents, licenses and permits necessary for development and construction of the
Project on the Development Property, including by way of example and not
limitation, those pertaining to zoning, subdivision, site plan, building, construction,
environmental matters, grading, stormwater management, utilities, infrastructure
and transportation.

III. Applicable Sections of the County Code

Performance securities are the amounts of money pledged by a developer to provide

assurance that it will complete a project. If the developer fulfills its obligations under a project,
the performance securities are returned. Also, as will be discussed in more detail below, the
County charges the developer fees at various stages of a project. The Baltimore County Code has
specific sections addressing these fees and securities, the rules governing the reduction of security,
and the use of securities by the County when there is nonperformance under a contract. The
relevant sections of the Code are set forth below followed by how those sections pertain to the
Project:

3-1-202 - FEES - AUTHORITY TO ESTABLISH

(a) Scope. This section does not apply to: (1) A tax; (2) A franchise fee, the amount
of which is provided for in the Code; or (3) The charges or fees authorized in
connection with a cable system under Article 25 of the Code.
(b) Establishment of fees. If a fee is authorized by the Code, but the amount of the
fee is not established by the Code, the County Administrative Officer [CAO]
may determine and establish the amount of a fee.

4
(c) Changing fees - Authority in general. Subject to subsection (d) of this section,
the County Administrative Officer may change the amount of any fee as the
County Administrative Officer considers appropriate.
(d) Same - Procedure for fee amounts established by the Code. (1) Notwithstanding
any other law, before changing a fee amount established in the Code, the County
Administrative Officer shall submit to the County Council the proposed change
in the amount of the fee and the reason for the change. (2) The proposed change
shall take effect 45 days after notification to the Council unless, within the 45-
day period, the Council objects to the proposed change. (3) If the Council
objects to a proposed change, any proposed change shall require legislative
approval.
(e) Posting. The County Administrative Officer may determine which of the fees
shall be posted and where they shall be posted.

32-4-312 - SECURITY

(a) In general. Any security required to be posted under this title shall be in a form
approved by the Office of Law and the Office of Budget and Finance.
(b) Amount of security. (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection,
the county shall require the applicant to provide a performance security in an
amount equal to 110% of the amount of the county approved cost estimate for
the completion of the improvements. (2) The county shall require an applicant
to provide a performance security for grading permits in an amount equal to
$.05 per square foot of land area to be disturbed, not to exceed $30,000.

32-4-313 - REDUCTION OF SECURITY

(a) In general. An applicant may apply for a reduction in performance security

posted in accordance with the right-of-way improvement and utility agreements
when: (1) The county has determined that 50% of the improvements required
under the right-of-way improvement or utility agreement have been completed;
and (2) The county has received the right-of-way instruments required
under §32-4-302 of this subtitle.
(b) Approval by county agencies; required. (1) The county may reduce the
performance security posted in accordance with the right-of-way improvement
and utility agreements after approval of the Directors of Permits, Approvals and
Inspections, Budget and Finance, and Public Works. (2)The county may reduce
the performance security posted for an environmental agreement after approval
of the Director of Budget and Finance and the Director of Environmental
Protection and Sustainability.
(c) Amount of reduction. The county may not reduce the performance security to
less than 10% of the original estimated cost of the improvements in the
environmental, right-of-way improvement, or utility agreements until the
developer has completed the improvements and the maintenance period to the
satisfaction of the county.

5
(d) Application for reduction by the applicant; notice. (1) Before performance
security that has been posted for improvements under a right-of-way
improvement or utility agreement is reduced, the applicant shall: (i) Apply to
have the performance security reduced; (ii) Provide to the county an affidavit,
in a form approved by the Office of Law, that the applicant has paid all persons
having a written contract with the applicant for work on improvements required
under the right-of-way improvement or utility agreement, and performed before
the date of the affidavit; and (iii) Provide to the county written
acknowledgments from all persons having a written contract with the applicant
for work on improvements required under the right-of-way improvement or
utility agreement, and performed before the date of the affidavit, confirming the
statements contained in the applicant's affidavit. (2)(i) After the applicant has
complied with the requirements of paragraph (1) of this subsection, the
Department of Permits, Approvals and Inspections shall post 30 days advance
written notice of the Department's intent to reduce the performance security.
(ii) The Department shall post the written notice in a prominent location in the
offices of the Department. (3) After the notice has been provided in accordance
with this subsection, the county may reduce the performance security.

32-4-309 – NONPERFORMANCE

(a) Notice of failure to complete. If an applicant fails to complete a public

improvement or private improvement, the agency responsible for inspection
and approval of the improvement shall, in writing: (1) Notify the applicant of
the failure to complete the public improvement or private improvement
required in an agreement with the county under this subtitle; and (2) Grant the
applicant a period of not less than 30 and not more than 120 days to complete
the public improvements or private improvements.
(b) Use of performance security upon failure to complete. (1) If the applicant has
failed to construct the public improvements or private improvements within
the time period authorized under subsection (a)(2) of this section, the county
may use the performance security posted by the applicant for the following
purposes: (i) To pay, in whole or in part, any final judgment obtained by a
person having a written contract with the applicant for work on improvements
required under an environmental, right-of-way improvement, or utility
agreement, and performed before the date of default in the construction of the
public improvements or private improvements; (ii) To complete the public
improvements or private improvements through the use of county forces or
through the engagement of private contractors, in accordance with subsection
(c) of this section; and (iii) To cover any additional costs, including the costs
of inspection, overhead, and other administrative and legal costs incurred by
the county, as a result of the applicant's default. (2) After the county has used
the performance security as provided for in this subsection, any proceeds
remaining from the performance security shall revert to the general fund of
the county.

6
 (c) Completion of improvement by private contractor. (1) If the county elects to
engage a private contractor to complete the public improvements or private
improvements required in the environmental, right-of-way improvement, or
utility agreements, the county may award contracts for the completion of any
or all of the public improvements or private improvements through: (i) The
process of informal bidding as provided for in section 10-2-308 of the Code;
or (ii) The award of contracts to the private contractors hired by the applicant
before the failure to complete the improvements, in amounts not to exceed the
amount of the proceeds of the performance security. (2) The award of
completion contracts under this subsection is subject to the prior approval of
the Director of Budget and Finance. (3) The county shall provide notice of
award of contracts under this section to the County Council under section
902(f) of the Charter.

Based on section 3-1-202(c), the CAO has the sole power to change a fee. Further, section
3-1-202(d) states the CAO is required to notify the County Council of the proposed fee change
and the justification. While the Code does not specifically address fee waivers, the Office of Law
has recently opined that the changing of fees from their specified amounts to $0 (i.e. waiving fees)
requires the approval of the CAO and submission to the County Council in accordance with section
3-1-202. With regard to the Project, there is no evidence that either were done prior to September
21, 2021, as further discussed later in this report, nor is there evidence the County Council has
ever been notified of the waiver.

There is no provision in the County Code that allows performance securities on a

development project to be waived (see sections 32-4-312 and 32-4-313) as such securities are
needed by the County in the event of nonperformance (see section 32-4-309). The Code specifies
that performance securities on County projects are typically “110% of the amount of the county
approved cost estimate for the completion of the improvements” and such securities are not to be
reduced to “less than 10% of the original estimated cost of the improvements in the environmental,
right-of-way improvement, or utility agreements until the developer has completed the
improvements and the maintenance period to the satisfaction of the county.” Therefore, any waiver
of securities on the Project would appear to be in violation of the Code.

IV. The County’s Development Management Process

Land development in Baltimore County must be conducted in accordance with the County
Code and applicable state and federal laws. The land development process in Baltimore County
is overseen by Development Management, a division within PAI, through project managers.
Throughout the land development process, there are various costs imposed on the developer by
the County.

The initial phase of land development, sometimes referred to as the Planning Phase or
Phase 1, often begins with the submission of a concept plan to PAI. Once received, the concept
plan is distributed to various agencies within the County for comments. These agencies include
the Department of Environmental Protection and Sustainability, Department of Public Works and

7
Transportation, Department of Planning, and various groups within PAI such as the Development
Plans Review Bureau and Zoning Review. Once the concept plan is accepted by the County, a
concept plan conference and community input meeting are held whereby the developer can get
feedback on the proposed project from the County and the community. After the concept plan, the
developer is required to submit a more detailed plan to Development Management called a
development plan, which is also distributed to various agencies for comments. If necessary,
additional conferences with the County and community input meetings are held. Also,
administrative hearings may be required to address issues such as land use variances or special
exceptions.

Once the development plan has been approved by the County, the developer can begin
construction. This is typically referred to as the Construction Phase or Phase II. This phase
includes making improvements to infrastructure such as adding roads, water supplies, sewers, and
drains; implementing sediment control and stormwater management; constructing buildings and
other structures; and installing landscaping, lighting, and signage.

During the Construction Phase, the developer is required to submit various documents to
the County pertaining to site work, such as grading plans and stormwater management plans. Also,
various agreements between the developer and the County are formalized including public works
agreements, utility agreements, right-of-way agreements, and environmental agreements, all of
which require the developer to post securities to the County, in the form of cash, letters of credit,
or performance bonds. Along with the securities, inspection fees are charged to the developer by
the County to help offset the cost of inspecting the site work to ensure the improvements were
made, and that they were done to the County’s standards. Inspection fees are calculated at 8% of
the estimated costs of the infrastructure improvements 2 1F

Finally, all work performed by the developer requires permits approved by PAI to ensure
the project is in compliance with the County Code and other applicable standards. The County
charges fees for all permits to help offset the cost of the related inspections, which are performed
by County personnel. There are generally three categories of permits: building permits, electrical
permits, and plumbing permits. Building permits are the broadest category, encompassing a wide
range of construction-related work. Each category of permit has its own fee schedule and its own
dedicated group of County inspectors. Copies of the Baltimore County building permit, electrical
permit, and plumbing permit fee schedules are attached as Exhibits 1A, 1B, and 1C.

The final phase of a development project is referred to as the Closeout Phase or Phase III.
During the Closeout Phase, the County takes steps to ensure the developer has met certain
requirements under the project. Phase III is typically when any securities that were paid as part of
the project are returned to the developer.

2
The estimated costs exclude the following categories for purposes of inspection fee calculations: sidewalks,
mobilization, temporary traffic control, stakeout, landscaping, and streetlights.

8
V. The Project from 2005 to 2010

As noted earlier, the development management process for the Project began in 2005 with
the approval of a development plan and the signing of the Agreement. In or about September
2006, a public works agreement for the Project was signed by the Developer and representatives
from the County. A copy of the public works agreement is attached as Exhibit 2. For purposes
of this report, the relevant portions of the public works agreement are listed under the section titled
“Financial Arrangements” (items #5A and 5C) as follows:

Fees and Charges

The APPLICANT agrees to pay, by cash, cashier’s check or certified check, all
required fees and charges related to THE DEVELOPMENT, including but not
limited to, review fees, inspection fees, sewer and water charges, meter fees and
permit fees, in accordance with the executive orders, policies or regulations in
effect at the time the invoice for those charges is paid by the APPLICANT.

Performance Security

Where performance security is required by applicable law or regulation to be posted

with the COUNTY, APPLICANT shall deliver security when required in
accordance with Section 32-4-305 of the Baltimore County Code (Rev. 7/2004) in
the form of an irrevocable letter of credit, cash, or cashier’s check, and in the
amounts stated in any applicable EA [Environmental Agreement], RA [Right-of-
Way Improvement Agreement], or UA [Utility Agreement] related to the
DEVELOPMENT. If a letter of credit is used, it shall be in the form and contain
the essential terms required by the COUNTY. The APPLICANT is fully aware of
the provisions of Sections 32-4-309, 32-4-312, 32-4-313 of the Baltimore County
Code, (Rev. 7/2004) and acknowledges the COUNTY’s rights under those sections
with regard to any security posted.

Consistent with the language in the public works agreement referenced above and the
language in the Agreement referenced earlier in this report, Securities and Fees pertaining to the
Project were paid by the Developer to the County from the inception of the Project through 2010.
Beginning in 2011, under Jablon’s leadership within PAI, the collection of Securities and Fees for
the Project began to be waived as further detailed below. This is depicted in a timeline created by
the Office using information obtained during the course of the investigation. The timeline is
attached as Exhibit 3.

VI. The Project from 2011 to the Present

In January 2011, Jablon returned to the County as Director of PAI. Jablon had previously
worked for the County in other capacities, including County Attorney. In or about June 2011,
Securities and Fees for the Project began to be waived at the direction of Jablon and in one instance,

9
a security that had been properly collected by the County in or about December 2006 was returned
to the Developer with Jablon’s approval.

A. Performance Securities and Inspection Fees

The first documentation of the change under Jablon were handwritten notes on the margin
of a memo from an employee in Development Management to Matis/Warfield 3 concerning Utility 2F

Agreement #10143 and Right-of-Way Agreement #10144 for the Project. There are two versions
of the memo, attached as Exhibits 4A and 4B. On one version (Exhibit 4A), the words “waived
per AJ 6/14/11” and “waived per A Jablon 6/14/11” appear next to the sections concerning the
inspection fee (item #3) and securities (item #5) respectively. On the second version (Exhibit 4B),
the words “no fee” and “no fee collect per Arnold Jablon 6/14/11” appear next to the sections
concerning the inspection fee and securities respectively. The investigation showed the
handwritten notes were made on June 14, 2011 by the project manager from Development
Management in response to a directive from her supervisor who worked for Jablon.

On September 8, 2011 at 4:27 p.m., an email was sent from Jablon that was forwarded to
personnel in Development Management and the Department of Environmental Protection and
Sustainability, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 5A and 5B respectively. The forwarded
email sent to those two agencies discussed the process for how the County would handle the
Project. In relevant part, the email stated:

“The developer is responsible for the construction of roads and utilities, and, as
indicated, also responsible for inspections. As indicated above, the inspections will
be done by Hillis-Carnes. 4 All construction drawings typically reviewed by DPW
3F

[Department of Public Works] and ESC [Erosion and Sediment Control] must be
approved by the County prior to construction. The County agrees to waive LOC’s
[Letters of Credit a.k.a. Security] and inspection fees. After the construction of the
utilities and roads have been completed, DPW will send an acceptance/completion
letter to the developer and to PAI, in which DPW will attest to the completion and
to initiate the close out process.”

In October 2011, Jablon approved the return of $206,125 of security to the Developer for
the Project, despite this security having been appropriately assessed and collected by the County
under Utility Agreement #06359. In an email dated October 10, 2011 at 10:18 a.m., an attorney
from Venable LLP, the law firm representing the Developer on the Project, emailed an employee
in Development Management stating:

“I am following-up on the conversation we had last week regarding the release of the
$206,125 letter of credit securing the above-referenced Utility Agreement for the Owings
Mills Metro Center project. I have spoken with Arnold [Jablon] and he confirmed that he
is okay with the release of this letter of credit, consistent with the arrangement for the other
agreements for this project. I have copied Arnold [Jablon] on this email so that he can

4
Hillis-Carnes Engineering Associates, Inc. is an engineering firm that worked for the Developer on the Project.

10
 confirm for you that we discussed this matter and that he is agreeable [to] the release of the
letter of credit.”

On October 10, 2011 at 11:48 a.m., Jablon sent an email stating he was okay with the release of
the $206,125 letter of credit. A copy of the email exchange is attached as Exhibit 6. Subsequently,
a letter was issued on October 12, 2011 from Development Management to PNC Bank referencing
Utility Agreement #06359. The letter stated “Enclosed please find PNC Bank letter of credit
number 18110845 which was retained as security under the subject agreement. As a condition of
this agreement, no security is required, therefore it is now in order to terminate the letter of credit.”
A copy of the letter is attached as Exhibit 7.

In addition to prematurely releasing the $206,125 security, there were several performance
securities and inspection fees pertaining to other development agreements for the Project that were
never collected as a result of Jablon’s September 8, 2011 email referenced above as follows:

Totals $2,965,531.30 $169,311.08

B. Building Permits

As noted earlier in this report, there are generally three types of permits that a developer is
required to obtain from the County throughout the course of a project. Due to its size and scope,
there have been hundreds of building, electrical and plumbing permits associated with the Project.
One of the earliest building permits identified during the investigation was applied for in March
2014.

On March 24, 2014, the Permits Supervisor in PAI authored an internal memo addressed
to “Engineering Assistants” stating:

“You may or may not be aware of [the] major development in Owings Mills by David S.
Brown [Enterprises]. In view of this continued expansion, Arnold Jablon has instructed

5
This Environmental Agreement replaced Environmental Agreement #017-09 dated February 5, 2009.
6
There are no inspection fees associated with environmental agreements, such fees are only charged for utility
agreements and right-of-way agreements.

11
 that all building permit fees shall be waived for projects coming in as part of the area
known as Metro Centre at Owings Mills (shown on the attached map).”

A copy of the memo is attached as Exhibit 8. This memo affected over 80 building permits related
to the Project. 7 The range of individual fees waived was from $48 to $36,012. Because the memo
6F

did not reference electrical and plumbing permit fees, those continued to be charged to the
Developer at that time.

On June 12, 2018 an internal memo addressed “Memo to File” with the subject “Owings
Mills Metro Center” was prepared. This memo was unsigned, did not include a “From” or author
line, and had no reference to any County employee. This memo, a copy of which is attached as
Exhibit 9, stated:

“As a result of the mixed-use, transit-oriented development at the Owings Mills Metro
Center (“OMMC”), which includes principal uses operated by the Baltimore County
Government, no County fees and/or securities will be assessed or charged to Owings Mills
Transit, LLC, developer of OMMC, or to any successor, assignee, sub-ground lessee, or
phase ground lessee, in connection with development processing and permitting for any
future buildings and/or other improvements, including fees associated with the review,
approval, and issuance of plans for the project; building and/or grading permits;
environmental agreements; and utility and right-of-way agreements, for facilities
constructed within the property boundaries and public rights-of-way as shown on the
development plan for the property, known as the “Metro Center at Owings Mills”.”

Our investigation showed this memo was authored by Jablon (“the Jablon Memo”). In addition,
the language for the Jablon Memo was provided to Jablon by an attorney with Venable, LLP by
way of an email dated June 11, 2018 at 3:35 p.m. Later the same day, Jablon replied to the attorney
via email, copying his administrative assistant, stating “I was u n [sic] Canada this weekend,
returning tonight. Letter is good. Julie, please reduce this to my letterhead.” A copy of this email
exchange is attached as Exhibit 10. Pursuant to the investigation, the Office attempted to
interview Jablon about the role he played in the Project, including the circumstances surrounding
the Jablon Memo, but he declined to be interviewed.

At the time of the Jablon Memo, the CAO was Fred Homan. As noted earlier, only the
CAO has the authority, with notice to County Council, to change the amount of a fee that has been
set by the County Code. The Office attempted to interview Homan about the Jablon Memo and
through his attorney, Homan advised he did not know anything about it. There is also no indication
Homan ever delegated his authority to Jablon regarding the setting or changing of fees.

C. Electrical and Plumbing Permits

By the end of 2018, Jablon had left the County, and by May 2019, Michael Mallinoff
(“Mallinoff”) had taken over as Director of PAI. As Mallinoff became familiar with the Project,

7
It is important to note that if a permit was entered incorrectly (i.e. with typographical errors) into the permits database
for the Project, it may not have been identified during the Office’s search for pertinent records.

12
he learned of the Jablon Memo. Because Mallinoff did not believe his predecessor had the
authority to waive Securities and Fees, he directed one of his employees to send a letter dated
September 4, 2019 to the Developer, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 11, addressing the
issue as follows:

“The director of PAI, Michael Mallinoff, has reviewed the matter regarding the assessment
and payment of inspection fees and securities for this project as well [as] the performance
of any inspections normally carried out by Baltimore County on such projects. This was
the subject of a memo dated June 12, 2018 [the Jablon Memo]. It has been determined that
the necessary fees and securities will be required as outlined below in Section B for further
processing of the agreements for this project.”

Listed in Section B of the above-referenced letter were the inspection fees and security for Right-
of-Way Agreement #18329 in the amounts of $816.72 and $12,690 respectively. However, as
noted in Table 1 above and further clarified in the following section, these amounts were
ultimately waived by the County.

In or about October 2019, Mallinoff met with Howard Brown (“Brown”) of David S.
Brown Enterprises at a local restaurant to discuss the September 4, 2019 letter referenced above.
Also present for the meeting was an attorney from Venable, LLP. During the meeting, Brown told
Mallinoff that he had an agreement with Jablon that Securities and Fees for the Project would be
waived because of the Project’s status as a Transit-Oriented Development. Additionally, Brown
said his company intended to self-perform all inspections for the Project through a third party. For
those reasons, Brown wanted Mallinoff to honor the arrangement Brown had made with Jablon.

Around the same time as the meeting with Brown, Mallinoff was contacted by a member
of the Administration about Mallinoff’s opposition to the waiver of Securities and Fees for the
Project. This individual told Mallinoff that the arrangement with the Developer had pre-dated the
current Administration and therefore, needed to be honored.

Between approximately October 2019 and September 2020, Mallinoff continued to try and
collect Securities and Fees from the Developer for the Project when feasible, despite getting
resistance from the Developer and at times, the Administration. Mallinoff did so for two reasons.
First, he could not locate any specific legislation that had been passed to grant the Project a waiver
for Securities and Fees based on the Project’s status as a Transit-Oriented Development, and he
was not comfortable that the only support for the waiver was an unsigned memo. Second, the
Developer ultimately did not self-perform the inspections for the Project because it determined the
use of a third-party contractor was too expensive, and Mallinoff did not believe it was appropriate
for the County to not be compensated for the hundreds of inspections that needed to be performed
on the Project.

Mallinoff’s resistance to the arrangement can be seen in early 2020 when the issue of
whether the County should be charging the Developer fees for electrical and plumbing permits for
the Project was raised within PAI. This is reflected in a handwritten note that appears at the bottom
of the March 24, 2014 internal memo referenced earlier in the report (Exhibit 8). The handwritten

13
note stated “1/29/2020 Spoke with Michael Mallinoff – can continue to charge Electrical +
Plumbing contractors.”

On August 31, 2020 at 3:35 p.m., Mallinoff was copied on an email between two of his
employees with the subject line “Permit fees for hotel.” A copy of the email is attached as Exhibit
12. In the email, there was a reference to the waiver of a $36,000 building fee and the potential
for the waiver of fees for over 100 electrical inspections for the hotel portion of the Project.

In the weeks following the August 31, 2020 email, there were several emails involving
Mallinoff, his staff, and members of the Administration, concerning electrical and plumbing
inspection fees for the hotel, culminating with an exchange of emails on September 25, 2020. In
one of the emails, Mallinoff was again reminded by the Administration that they intended to uphold
the prior administration’s arrangement with the Developer regarding the waiver of Securities and
Fees for the Project (see Exhibit 13). Subsequently, Mallinoff sent an email to his Permit
Processing Coordinator stating in part “The administration wants all building and trades [electrical
and plumbing] fees waived per an earlier agreement by my predecessor” (see Exhibit 14).

As of the date of this report, there have been over 400 electrical and plumbing permits
associated with the Project. The majority of the fees for these electrical and plumbing permits
were paid at Mallinoff’s direction as can be seen from a summary prepared by the Office attached
as Exhibit 15.

In early 2021, C. Pete Gutwald (“Gutwald”) replaced Mallinoff as Director of PAI. As

Gutwald became familiar with the Project, he too learned that Securities and Fees had been
historically waived for the Project by Jablon. As new fee waivers for the Project were presented
to him for approval, Gutwald suspended the waivers, citing an opinion from the Office of Law that
only the CAO could authorize such waivers. As permits for the Project began to back up within
PAI, a letter dated September 21, 2021 was issued from CAO Stacy L. Rodgers to the Developer,
referencing the Jablon Memo and stating in part “in accordance with Section 3-1-202(b) and 3-1-
202(c) as the County Administrative Officer the permit fees for new construction of the approved
plan identified as “Metro Center at Owings Mills” dated 5/10/2005 (as indicated in the vicinity
map below) are hereby waived.” A copy of the letter is attached as Exhibit 16.

Pursuant to the investigation, the Office contacted the Legislative Counsel/Secretary for
the County Council about the Jablon Memo, the September 21, 2021 letter from CAO Rodgers to
the Developer, and any other documents regarding fee waivers for the Project, to determine
whether such documents had been sent to the County Council as required under 3-1-202(d).
According to the Legislative Counsel/Secretary, there are no such records in the Council’s
possession.

VII. Possible Benefits Provided to Jablon by the Developer

A review of County email communications pursuant to the investigation showed there were
occasions in which Jablon, while serving as the Director of PAI, appeared to have received benefits
from the Developer in the form of free parking and access to NCAA Big 10 Conference basketball

14
tournament tickets. Because Jablon declined to be interviewed for this investigation, the Office
was unable to obtain his version of these events. However, Brown confirmed to the Office that he
allowed Jablon to park a vehicle for free in garages at two of Brown’s residential properties for a
period of time. Brown explained Jablon had offered to pay for the parking, but Brown declined
the offer because Jablon was a long-time acquaintance and the residential parking garages were
vacant. With regard to the basketball tickets, Brown received ten tickets every year for the
University of Maryland basketball games at the Comcast [Xfinity] Center, which entitled Brown
to tickets for the annual NCAA Big 10 basketball tournament. Brown described the tickets as
“priority seats,” and he commented “you can’t get those.” Brown confirmed Jablon paid him face
value for the tickets on several occasions. Further details about the free parking and the basketball
tickets are set forth below.

The parking of Jablon’s vehicle at one of Brown’s properties was discussed in a series of
emails between Jablon and Brown’s assistant from May 19, 2017 to April 9, 2018, copies of which
are attached as Exhibit 17. The first email was on May 19, 2017 at 10:28 a.m. (page 2 of Exhibit
17) with the subject line “Personal” in which Jablon said “a couple of weeks ago I asked HB
[Howard Brown] if he still had space for me to store a car. He said he could. At the time, it was
speculative, but I have bought it and I would need the space in about 2 weeks. Can you as[k] HB
is his offer is still available? Thanks.” On May 25, 2017 at 4:47 p.m., Brown’s assistant responded
“We have a garage available for you at St. Charles at Old Court. I’m out tomorrow, but will touch
base with you again on Tuesday with the details. This will be no charge to you.”

In subsequent emails between Jablon and Brown’s assistant, there were discussions about
delivering the key fob for the St. Charles at Old Court garage to Jablon; the number of electrical
outlets in the garage; moving Jablon’s vehicle to a different garage located at the Developer’s
Ingram Manor property; and making improvements to the garage at Ingram Manor to make it more
suitable to Jablon’s needs.

It should be noted that both properties, St. Charles at Old Court and Ingram Manor, are
residential properties owned or managed by the Developer with secured garages for their residents.
Further and in support of Brown’s statement to the Office, there is no indication that Jablon ever
compensated the Developer for the benefit, and as noted above, Brown’s assistant told Jablon there
would be “no charge” to Jablon.

The basketball tickets were discussed in a series of emails between Jablon and Brown’s
assistant from January 15, 2016 to December 1, 2018, copies of which are attached as Exhibit 18.
The emails concern the NCAA Big 10 Conference basketball tournaments for 2016, 2017, 2018,
and 2019. The first email was on January 15, 2016 at 4:20 p.m. with the subject line “tickets” in
which Jablon said “It’s that time of basketball year again! Yes, I do want the Big 10 tourney
tickets, all 6. Thanks.” On January 19, 2016 at 1:24 p.m., Brown’s assistant responded “No
worries. The[y] haven’t even sent the paperwork yet, but when they do, it’s all for you. no worries
at all.” In subsequent years, similar emails were sent between Jablon and Brown’s assistant about
Jablon’s interest in the tournament tickets.

In related emails between Jablon and Brown’s assistant about the tickets, there were
discussions about the status of the tickets; whether the tickets applied to the University of Maryland

15
games during the tournament; Jablon’s travel plans to the tournaments with others, including an
attorney from Venable, LLP; the potential to upgrade seats and attend pregame parties; an offer to
have Jablon attend games as Brown’s guest in New York for the 2018 tournament; the potential
for Jablon to stay in Brown’s New York apartment while attending the 2018 tournament; and the
amount and timing of the payments for the tickets.

In support of Brown’s statement, the emails reflected that Jablon paid Brown the face value
for the basketball tickets. However, the emails indicated the quality of the tickets and the related
perks, such as the potential for upgraded seating and pregame parties, may have been a benefit to
Jablon in that it is unknown whether Jablon could have had access to such tickets at face value if
not for Brown. With regard to attending the 2018 tournament in New York as Brown’s guest and
staying in Brown’s apartment (see the emails dated January 11, 2018 in Exhibit 18), it does not
appear the trip materialized and Brown denied such a trip happened.

During the time period of the above-referenced emails, there were other emails involving
Jablon, Brown’s assistant, and others, which discussed various issues pertaining to the Project and
Brown’s other business interests. In some of the emails, Brown is requesting Jablon’s assistance.
While there is no indication that any of Brown’s requests for assistance were directly connected to
any of the potential benefits provided to Jablon, the communications about the parking and the
basketball tickets create the appearance of a conflict of interest. Further, the transactions may have
constituted violations of section 23.17 of the Agreement (the Gratuities provision) and sections 7-
1-305(a)(1) and (b)(1-2) of the County Code (Solicitation or Acceptance of Gifts) which states:

(a) Solicitation of gifts prohibited.

(1) A public official may not solicit any gift.
(b) Acceptance of gifts prohibited. Except as provided in subsection (c) of this
section, 8 a public official may not knowingly accept a gift, directly or indirectly,
7F

from an entity that the public official knows or has reason to know:
(1) Does or seeks to do any business of any kind, regardless of amount, with
the public official’s office, agency, board, or commission;
(2) Engages in an activity that is regulated or controlled by the public official’s
office, agency, board, or commission[.]

VIII. Conclusion

Based on the investigation, between 2011 and 2021, millions of dollars in Securities and
Fees were waived for the Project. This waiver was authorized by Jablon as Director of PAI when
in fact, such a waiver could only be authorized by the CAO along with notice to the County
Council. According to then CAO Homan, he was not aware of the waiver given by Jablon to the
Developer for the Project, and there is no evidence the waiver was ever presented to the County
Council for review. Because Jablon declined to be interviewed for this investigation and the Office
has no reason to dispute former CAO Homan’s version of the events, it appears Jablon entered

8
Based on the Office’s interpretation of 7-1-305, the possible benefits received by Jablon from the Developer would
not fall under the exceptions of subsection (c) and therefore, the benefits would be prohibited.

16
into the arrangement with the Developer without the proper authority and without the knowledge
and approval of the CAO in violation of the County Code.

In support of the above, the investigation found the only documentation of Jablon's waiver
o f Securities and Fees for the Project was an internal email communication he sent on September
8, 2011 and an unsigned internal memo dated June 12, 2018 [the Jablon Memo], neither of which
contain any reference to CAO approval or delegation of authority to Jablon. Further, there is no
reference in those two documents to any legal authority being the basis for the waiver. Because
o f the waiver of securities, there were times during the Project the County was unnecessarily put
a t risk. In addition, the fees that were waived cost the County hundreds of thousands of dollars in
revenues. Further, the waiver of Securities and Fees was in effect at a time when Jablon was
receiving certain benefits from the Developer that appear to violate the Solicitation or Acceptance
o f Gifts provision of the County Code.

While the County has decided to honor Jablon's arrangement with the Developer via its
letter dated September 21, 2021, the Administration has still not provided notice to the County
Council as required under the County Code. Additionally, because the Administration has decided
to honor the mrnngement, it will need to address whether it intends to refund the fees that were
collected during the course of the Project. This would include fees that were inadvertently
collected by PAI under Jablon or those collected at the direction of Mallinoff while he served as
Director of PAI.

This matter is being referred to you for an official response. Please respond in writing by
January 18, 2022, indicating what action has been taken or what action you intend to take regarding
this matter. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

On or about November 7, 2006, the Developer paid $206,125 in security and $11,440 in related inspection fees pursuant to Utility
Agreement #6359 UAO. However, because the security was returned to the Developer on or about October 12, 2011 at Jablon’s
direction, it is included as a waiver. There is no indication the inspection fees were refunded.

The total fee was $9,573.00, but only $3,056.00 was paid on February 19, 2010. The balance of $6,517.00 was waived by Jablon on
April 25, 2018.
3
There is no record of a development plan fee or a phase II fee for the hotel portion of the Project in Development Management’s
database. The project manager believes these fees for the hotel were waived. For purposes of this analysis, the development plan and

Exhibit 3
phase II fees should have been $2,520.00 and $5,116.00 respectively based on 1.612 acres of disturbance.

There is nothing regarding acceptance process for SWM and the forest buffer plan requirements. Are we
to follow SOP, just without securities?

SWM SOP is: submission of as built plans; EPS approval; 1 Year (min) maintenance period; release of
permit upon execution of maintenance agreement.

FB SOP is: Request to inspect work; EPS approval; 3 year maintenance period; final acceptance based
on 75% survival.

Due to the particular circumstances surrounding the construction of the Metro Center in Owings Mills, as
it is a private/county/state partnership, the following represents the process to be followed during
construction and final close out.

The County will schedule a pre-construction meeting at the Owings Mills Metro Site, tied to the UA and
RA executed with the utility and road contractor. For this project only, the County will permit the outside
consultant, Hillis-Carnes, to conduct all inspections. The Consultant must name Baltimore County as a
third party insured, and must certify that all work performed conforms to all County and/or State
Standards, where applicable. Proof of the insurance must be provided to the County. While the County
will accept such certifications from the Consultant, DPW and ESC will site visit during construction and
bring to the attention of the Consultant any issues found. DPW will make final inspections before
accepting the utilities. U & 0 permits will be dependent on the certifications from Consultant, conditioned
on final inspections by the County. The County will not issue Stop Work orders w/o first consultation with
Exhibit 5B

the Consultant and providing opportunity to make corrections.

The purpose of the pre-construction meeting is to make the Consultant aware of everything the County
would expect to see in making certifications.

The developer is responsible for the construction of roads and utilities, and, as indicated, also responsible
for inspections. As indicated above, the inspections will be done by Hillis-Carnes. All construction
drawings typically reviewed by DPW and ESC must be approved by the County prior to construction. The
County agrees to waive LOC's and inspection fees .. After the construction of the utilities and roads have
been completed, DPW will send an acceptance /completion letter to the developer and to PAI, in which
DPW will attest to the completion and to initiate the close out process. Currently, the close out process
for commercial development automatically begins one (1) year after receipt of the acceptance/completion
letter from DPW Inasmuch as the LOC's will not be required, the close out process will begin two (2)
years after the letter. The reviewing Couhty agencies will then review the certifications from the
Consultant, in conjunction with their own site inspections, to determine that everything satisfies County
standards. The developer must provide all required "as built" drawings to demonstrate compliance with
County requirements and is responsible to maintain and insure integrity of the utilities and roads during
the two (2) year period prior to the close out process and during the close out process until County
agencies have determined the requirements have been satisfied."

Subject: Permit fees for hotel

John,
Was just curious about some fees. Jen was processing a low voltage electrical permit at the hotel at
10101 Grand Central Station. She looked up the building permit and saw the fee was waived. The fee
was $36,000. Our permit should be in the range of $500 to $1,000. I know the property is showing to
be owned by the MTA, however this is a hotel. A huge hotel at that, 229 rooms. We will be doing
well over 100 inspections for electrical alone there. Originally they were to get a third party to
inspect the place. (You know how I feel about third party inspections) However they found out that
the company they hired was charging $400/ hour. The builder has since let that company go and
now wants us to do the inspections. Of course, that makes sense we're not charging anything. With
our budget the way it is it seems odd that we will be sending multiple inspectors to this site several
hundred times and not getting anything from it. Typically we don't do inspections on city, state or
federal property.
Just a thought. I wasn't sure if anyone realized row this is working out

Please see attachment for a copy of an e-mail that was sent to Earl Wrenn_ because he is the one processing

Total Permit Fees Waived $278,868.51 B

Total Permit Fees Paid $41,150.00

A - These fees are marked unknown because there are no amounts listed in the permits
database for the corresponding permit numbers.

B - The actual Total Permit Fees Waived figure is higher because in some cases, the permits
database lists $0 for a waived fee instead of the actual amount of the fee that was waived.

Hi Arnold,

We have a garage available for you at St. Charles at Old Court. I'm out tomorrow, but will touch base with
you again on Tuesday with the details. This will be no charge to you.

Also, Howard said he'd like to meet with you for 15 or 20 minutes so I'll arrange to get the key fob delivered
to our office and he can bring it to you (assuming you have time for him next week - if not, I'll get the fob to
you anyway).

Have a great holiday weekend.

Hi Arnold,

I will have garage remote for your parking garage tomorrow (the garage is #17 off of Crisford Place at St. Charles at Olde
C ourt Apartments) . As I mentioned previously, Howard said he'd like to see you for 10 or 15 minutes so if you're
available tomorrow afternoon or sometime Thursday, I can have him come to you (or you are always welcome to come
h ere if that's more convenient). Please let me know what works best for you.

Can he meet me there, with a ladder, so I can run the extension cord? I may have missed the other outlet, I'll
check again. I hate to sound unappreciative, and I am most definitely not, but when something else opens
up ...

I can meet the maintenance person at his convenience. Thanks.

Hi Arnold,

I just found out that the garage at Ingram Manor will be fully vacated by the end of this month. Once we get the door
opener back, I'll make arrangements to get it to you so you can take a look at the space. Assuming you like it better than
where you are now, it's yours.

Have a great weekend!

Hi Arnold,

At long last, the garage at Ingram Manor has been vacated and I am in possession of the door opener. I sent an email to
the head of our residential maintenance department to confirm that there is an electrical outlet for your trickle charger
and hope to confirm that before the end of the day today. Would you like to stop by our office to swap remotes or
would you like me to have our driver come to you? Whatever is most convenient is fine with us.

Hope all is well on your end.

Hi Arnold,

We received our tickets for the upcoming tournaments in NY (Feb. 28 - March 4).

As of today, Howard still doesn't know if he's going to attend any of the sessions. We have a couple of employees who
will be attending Friday's games and Saturday's, but I really don't have any other commitments for them. Howard
actually needs to be back in Baltimore for an event the evening of March 3 so even if he went to any games, he would
not be attending Saturday or Sunday. Howard asked me to touch base to see if you're still interested in going up to
NY? I could give you at least two tickets to each of the seven sessions. Please let me know your thoughts on this and I
will plan accordingly. At this point, I just don't want to see the tickets getting wasted. But I don't want to ask too many
people until I checked with you.

Thank you.

Subject: Bad News ...

Hi Arnold,

We never received the application for the Big 10 Tournament so I called the ticket office yesterday to find out what was
going on. According to their records, they mailed the package to us, but the stars didn't align and it was never received
here. The guy I spoke to told me that we can still get six tickets, however, three seats would be in one section and three
would be in another. The really unfortunate news is that these tickets would be for the games that Maryland is NOT
playing in (I even said "what's the point?"). The way I understand it, a lot can change between now and March 9 (as far
as where MD ranks), but there is no guarantee these tickets would guarantee seeing Maryland play at all. I am
extremely upset by this and let the ticket office know in so many words, but there is nothing more they can do other
than apologize profusely. I told them that I doubted we would want the tickets they have available, but wanted to
double check with you. I am so sorry this happened and wish there was something more I could do. Please let me
know.

Thank you.

Hi Arnold,

I just received a call from the ticket office to see if we would be interested in upgrading the seats from
the upper level to the lower level. For the tickets as they are, we paid $i,525. The upgrade is an
additiona l $150 per ticket ($900) for a total of $2,425. Please let me know if you are interested in the
upgrade as soon as you are able. I am going to be out the office tomorrow through Monday (back

Tuesday and he said that would be fine. He's putting a hold on the tickets until he hears back from me.

Hi-

I'm struggling to find out anything about additional access to some events. I have learned that the
ACC use to have hospitality tents and such which the B 1G does not offer. I did also learn that the
president's office use to host some sort of event that Tina(?) was here but have no plans on doing
so. I did also hear that UMD isn't really doing much this year since the tournament is in town and
most folks are from nearby.

I do know we are hosting a pregame event at Penn Social (bar) right before the game. Once I
have the final details of all the events going on I'll be sure to send you that! Hope this helps a
little.... sorry!

I spoke to Howard this morning and we're going to go ahead and purchase the tickets. Since the tournament is in NY
(and he has an apartment up there), he said he would enjoy going to some of the games and maybe invite some of his
grandkids to come up. He said if you'd like to go to any of the games with him, you are welcome to attend as his

No problem at all. No one is vying for them and I'm not even sure if Howard is going to attend any of the sessions. One
of our guys will be using a few tickets Friday/Saturday, but that's it so far.

Also, I do check email and VM on Fridays- I just don't advertise it to everyone. I do it for my own peace of mind. Don't
like coming back to surprises or disasters on Mondays. ©

Hi Arnold,

Just checking in to see if you decided anything about the games next week/weekend? I'm no longer working on Fridays
so I figured I better follow up with you today.

Let me check at home. I'll let you know for su re by Wednesday.

I went over to the garage on Park Heights over the weekend. Not sure what I want to do, stay at St Charles or move
over I Park Heights is just so big, too big for one car, and even more drafty. You indicated there was no rush, so can I
have until the end of the week to decide?

Hi Arnold,

We received our tickets for the upcoming tournaments in NY (Feb. 28 - March 4).

As of today, Howard still doesn't know if he's going to attend any of the sessions. We have a couple of employees who
will be attending Friday's games and Saturday's, but I really don't have any other commitments for them. Howard
actually needs to be back in Baltimore for an event the evening of March 3 so even if he went to any games, he would
not be attending Saturday or Sunday. Howard asked me to touch base to see if you're still interested in going up to
NY? I could give you at least two tickets to each of the seven sessions. Please let me know your thoughts on this and I
will plan accordingly. At this point, I just don't want to see the tickets getting wasted. But I don't want to ask too many
people until I checked with you .

Thank you.

Baltimore County Government
400 Washington Avenue

RE: IG External Repo1t 20-013 - Owings Mills Metro
Center Fee Waivers
Dear Ms. Madigan:

Thank you for your recent report regarding the Owings Mills Metro Center Project and concerns
regarding fees and securities that have been waived. We have carefully reviewed the report. We note that
many of the issues outlined in the report occurred prior to the start of the present Administration.
Therefore, we are unable to address those specific items. However, we are able to speak to actions that
have occurred with the project since December, 2018 to the present. Please accept this communication as
the Administration's response to your findings and our actions regarding this matter.

II. The Agreement and Fees and Related Amendments

As your report reflects, the Owings Mills Metro Center Project was initiated over fifteen years ago. You
also advised that this project is "ve,y complex," with an Agreement consisting of 81 pages, numerous
exhibits and two amendments initiated in June 27, 2011 and March 18, 2014. We agree that the project
and the Agreement are very complex. We have reviewed the relevant language of the Agreement
provided in your report, contained on pages 3 through 7 . While the Agreement references fees, it did not
specify the nature, type or amount of fees nor any reference to the waiving of fees one way or the other.
Additionally, in reviewing other County agreements of a similar nature, we cannot find reference to the
"waiving of fees" one way or another.

Your letter notes in several places that the prior Administration had an agreement with the developer for
the wavier offees. Pages 11 and 12 of the report cite a March 24, 2014 email stating that "all building
permit fees shall be waived for projects coming in as part of the area known as Metro Centre at Owings
Mills" . Furthermore, page 12 of the report references a June 12, 2018 internal memo which states that "As
a result of the mixed-use, transit-oriented development at the Owings Mills Metro Center ("OMMC"),
which includes principal uses operated by the Baltimore County Government, no County fees and/or
securitieswill be assessed or charged to Owings Mills Transit, LLC, developer ofOMMC ... "

The letter goes on to note that the current Administration agreed to honor the above mentioned agreement
between the developer and the County for the waiver of fees in connection with the development of
OMMC. Such an action is cons istent with this Administration's practice - we have sought to honor
agreements made by prior Administrations.

Response to IG External Report 20-013
January 18, 2022

Providing fee waivers in connection with large development projects has not been a practice of the
current Administration. We inherited this agreement, which had been in place for several years prior to
our Administration taking office. As such, it was appropriate for the agreement to remain in place.

Your letter describes how only the CAO can authorize fee waivers. It is important to note that when our
Administration became aware of this requirement, we quickly took action to appropriately and legally
execute the fee waiver agreement under the CAO's legal authority. This was completed via the September
21, 2021 letter to the developer (See Attachment!).

It is also important to note that the September 21, 2021 letter places a definitive ending point on the fee
waiver agreement. The letter states that the fee waivers only apply to "new construction of the approved
plan identified as "Metro Center at Owings Mills" dated 5/10/2005," and that "any modifications or
upgrades to the existing buildings once constructed will be subject to the permit fees." While our
Administration will honor the Agreement we inherited, we will not waive fees into perpetuity at this site.

I further note that our letter pertains only to "fees." The September 21, 2021 letter does not address
security certificates or waiving of certificates. It is the Administration's intent to adhere to the County
Code with respect to securities on any future phases of the development.

III. Applicable Sections of the County Code:

In reviewing the provisions of the County Code subject to this Agreement we would like to address
section 3-1-202 Fees -Authority to Establish and its application. Your report indicates that the "CAO
failed to notify the County Council ofthe waiving ofthe fees for the project." After further consultation
with the County Office of Law, we believe that this is a misinterpretation of this section of the Code.
There would be an obligation to report a fee change to the Council if the fee amount was established in
the Code pursuant to section 3-1-202 (d). However in this particular matter, there is no particular fee
amount established in the Code. Therefore, the CAO is not required to report either a change or a waiver
with respect to this project (See Attachment 2).

As reflected in my September 21, 2021 letter to the developer, the applicable Code provisions were cited
and followed based upon this interpretations The Office of Law is happy to discuss these provisions with
you further.

We also want to provide some additional background and discussion of section 32-4-313 - Reduction of
Secul"ity. As reflected above, we cannot speak for the prior Administration's decision-making regarding
the release of the securities ce1tificate (letter of credit) in 2011.

I am advised by staff that multiple securities certificates can be issued on various phases of a project. As
noted in the definition of security on page 5 of your report, contractors may apply for reduction in
security certificates for phases of projects that have been completed. Per County Code, all requests for
reductions are required to be reviewed and approved by the County Office of Law and the Office of
Budget and Finance - a process this Administration will follow.

VII. Possible Benefits Provided to "Former Employee" by the Developer

In that the person referenced in your report is no longer a County employee, we believe the County's
Ethics Commission would be the most appropriate venue to address the concerns you raise in this section
of your report.

In conclusion, with respect to your question on page 17 regarding the refunding of fees collected by the
County - the County does not intend to refund any fees collected from the project.

Thank you for the opportunity to respond. Please let me know if you have questions or need further
information.

Sincerely,

Re: Legal Opinion re: Baltimore County Code, Section 3-J-202(d)

D ear Ms. Rodgers:

You have asked the Office of Law ("OOL") to opine on the application of subsection ( d)
o f Baltimore County Code ("Code") Section 3-1-202, to the County Administrative Officer
( CAO)'s granting of waivers for development fees when the fee amount is not established under
the Code. It is OOL's opinion that Section 3- l -202(d) does not apply to the granti ng of waivers
for development fees when the fee is not established in the Code. In fact, this would be applicable
to any fee that is not established in the Code. As such, the CAO is not required to report such
waivers to the County Council.

Section 3- I-202(d) of the Code states as follows:

"(d) Same - Procedureforfee amounts established by the Code.

(I) Notwithstanding any other law, before chang ing a fee amount established in the
Code, the County Administrative Officer shall submit to the County Council the
proposed change in the amount of the fee and the reason for the change." (emphasis
added).

Since fee amounts are not established in the Code for development projects, it is OOL's
o pinion that Section 3- I-202(d) does not impose the reporting requirement on the CAO that would
o therwise be required for a change if the fee amounts were established in the Code. Further, read
in conjunction with subsections (b) and (c) of Section 3-1-202 of the Code, since the fee amounts
are not established in the Code, the CAO has the full authority to determine and establish the
amount of a fee and to change the amount of any fee as the CAO considers appropriate, without
approval of the Council.

Subsection (b) and (c) of Section 3- 1-202 state:

"(b) Establishment offees. If a fee is authorized by the Code, but the amount of the fee
is not established by the Code, the County Administrative Officer may determine and
establish the amount of a fee.

(c) Changing fees - Authority in general. Subject to subsection (cl) of this section, the
County Administrative Officer may change the amount of any fee as the County
Administrative Officer cmisiders appropriate."

Accordingly, there is no requirement for the CAO to submit or to report fee waivers for develop ment
projects to the Council. Subsection (d) of Section 3-1-202 simply does not control in this situation.

Sincerely yours,

James R. Benjamin, Jr.
