The city is run from property taxes and the citizens should have some input in the charter changes!!!!

How come charter review changes can't be placed on the ballot?

I just I bought a house in glenarden, I did not investigate About this city and It seem that the minimum wage it’s low and working in there it’s not worth because now everything it’s expensive, hope to see an improvement not only on this on many things, I am now part of this bless community I will try my best in this great community

I don't know why only City Council members are on the Charter Review committee.

Go Chief, Mr. President Curtis and Queen Hairston this how real professional should conduct themselves.The final act was when he said I'm Good and the 🎤drops on zoom.

It was nice hearing you speak today on the call. I'll keep in touch. Michelle Sujai Harvey Civil Engineer creating strategies for Sufficity Self-sufficient Cities. From DC/PG County/VA.

Fantastic powerful work! I so wish I could have been there with you all I spent the entire day at OVC Dept of Justice

This is a poorly audio/visual presentation by the city council members of Glenarden .

Such a powerful testimony by Dr. Keith Marshall of the mercies of God, the power of forgiveness and the benefit of trusting God through surrendering, repentance and humility. Giving assurance that while we all may experience difficult times and situations, we can rise up and be who God has destined us to be. He rose up with the help of God and was empowered to help others through his life experiences. God is our deliverer. Continued blesses to Dr. Marshall and his family.

Congratulations cuz I'm so very proud of you ,may God continue to be with you, I love you stay safe

All contracts with the city must end on the last day (June 30th) of the budget year.

i am a Glenarden resident and I got kicked out of the meeting.

Congratulations Chief Regis Bryant .... You are the GOAT.

The City should have two Council meetings per month.

The city should go back to in-person meetings.
