Agent 86 Reconnaissance Report: Reclamation of James Island

Until recently, James Island was but a submerged sand bar at the intersection of the Little Choptank River and the Bay in Dorchester County. The Corps of Engineers and the Maryland Port Authority are now working on an enormous restoration project that will result in a 2,072-acre island, larger than its 17th-century size (1,350 acres), and, upon completion, Poplar Island. Dredge spoils from the Baltimore ship channel will begin arriving at James in 2030 and continue through 2067. The estimated cost of the project is between $3.8 and $4.4 billion- 65% of these funds will be Federal; 35% from Maryland.

At the beginning of the meeting, Commissioner Shay Lewis-Sisco motioned to amend the agenda to postpone the ordinance’s readings due to amendments made over the weekend not being included in the public council packet. Lewis-Sisco also suggested postponing the ordinances because of a very large presence at the prior meeting speaking out against both ordinances. Mayor Lajan Cephas-Bey argued against the delay saying that continuing to postpone holds up city staff from performing essential functions, specifically processing new rental property registrations. Delaying past this meeting would push the process back by at least two weeks to a month due to advertising “I’m going to quote President Cephas: ‘either piss or get off the pot,’” Cephas-Bey said. Lewis-Sisco revised the motion to keep the items on the agenda for discussion only without taking action. A tie vote occurred on whether to amend the agenda, which Cephas-Bey broke by voting to keep the items on the agenda as presented. Amendments The ordinances both have significant amendments to housing and
