City of Cumberland Organizational Chart

| 20 | About Cumberland | 4 | 1 | Where we’ve been, where we’re goingIn 1787, the Maryland General Assembly made the wise move of establishing the town of Cumberland through an act passed during that legislative session. Of course, that act simply provided the stamp of officialdom to a community that had been in existence, in one form or another, for thousands of years.
Artifacts pointing to civilizations in existence before the time of Christ have been found in the area, so we can only assume that people have been living here forever, a fact that those of us who now live at the confluence of Wills Creek and the Potomac River can understand, given the level of natural beauty that surrounds us.
For generations an American Indian village, then a western outpost of roughshod cabins established by European Americans, Cumberland eventually became a stop for many in the push west. In this role, the city grew into a transportation hub, first as the starting point of the first National Road - now known as Route 40, or National Highway - and then as home to numerous railroads and the western terminus of the famous C&O Canal.
As the city raced through the 19th century and into the 20th, it became less dependent on railroads as more industry moved to the area. Glass manufacturing and brewing were big, as were tires and steel.
Cumberland experienced the same fate as many American cities in the latter quarter of the 20th century; many industries closed their doors, battering the local populace. But the natives here are resilient if nothing else, so Cumberland looked around and noticed that a lot of people traditionally traveled here for our rich history. Small firms began to crop up focusing on the tourism trade, and Cumberland was off and running into its next era.
The economy continued to perk up as a number of technological firms moved to the area. The future looks brighter now than it has in years, essentially because we have something here most people want - a quality of life hard to come by today.
So come along, and we'll show you our town, a beautiful little city nestled among the Appalachian Mountains, home to those who seek tranquillity, peace, and friendly neighbors.

| 73 | Historic Preservation | 49 | 1 |
The Historic Preservation Commission, as appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council, acts to review Certificate of Appropriateness Permit applications for work within the city's Canal Place Preservation District. Permits will be issued for those projects that have been determined by the Commission as meeting the intent of the guidelines contained within this handbook. The Commission and its staff also serve to provide technical guidance to property owners with questions regarding design and maintenance issues, as well as direction in seeking financial assistance for rehabilitation projects.
The Commission meets each month in City Hall. Its meetings are public sessions open to all members of the public, although persons wishing to have their project reviewed must apply ahead of time to the Commission staff, located in City Hall, in order to be scheduled in advance for the agenda.
The City maintains a collection of technical reference sources that may assist property owners in gaining further understanding of recommended preservation techniques and approaches. In addition, the Commission can direct people to collections of historic photographs of buildings and city streetscapes which may aid property owners researching or trying to locate older views of their building.

| 661 | Storm Water Management Regulations | 48 | 1 | City of Cumberland
Stormwater Management
Regulations- Revisions
On May 5, 2009, changes to Maryland’s stormwater management
regulations (COMAR 26.17.02), pursuant to the subject act,
became effective. These changes will apply to both new
development and redevelopment projects on May 4, 2010,
unless they have final approval for Sediment and Erosion Control (SEC)
and Storm Water Management (SWM) before that date.
As with Allegany County and other municipalities, the City of Cumberland
is working towards revision of the Storm Water Ordinance to comply with
the new regulations, and the revised ordinance must be enacted and in place
by May 4, 2010.
Please be advised that the City willallow projects designed in accordance
with the current regulationsto be submitted only until December 31, 2009.
That will allow approximately four months for review and approval ahead of
the May 4, 2010 deadline. Further, please be aware that the documentation
must be complete at time of submittal. You should carefully consider the size
of the project and the review effort required before you undertake the design
and documentation effort for a submittal before the deadline. City staff will
endeavor to put forth a good faith effort to complete reviews and approve
projects under the existing ordinance, but there is no guarantee.
Please also be aware that any plans that the City approves before May 4, 2010
must commence construction within one calendar year of issuance of the permit,
and construction must be completed within two years of issuance of the permit.
Otherwise, any such project will be required to comply with the new stormwater
management regulations.
The revised Maryland Stormwater Design Manual is available for download
from this location:
Please plan any work addressed by this letter accordingly. We appreciate

| 128 | FAQ's | 48 | 1 | FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions)Q: The sidewalk in front of my house is broken or uneven, and I'm afraid someone may trip over it. A: If the sidewalk is broken or has settled unevenly due to age, then you as the property owner are responsible as described in the City Code Section 22-60.
Q: The sump pump in my basement runs all the time when it rains. A: When this happens it is usually because the water being discharged from your downspouts has no place to drain or the ground around your house may need to be graded so water runs away from the walls towards the street. You may contact the Sewer Department at (301) 759-6426 for additional assistance.
Q: Sewer water is backing up into my basement, especially during a heavy rainfall. A: The downspouts on your house may connect to your sanitary sewer service connection, your service connection may be plugged, or sanitary sewers in the street may be full or plugged. You may contact the Sewer Department at (301) 759-6426 and they will come out to investigate the situation.
Q: I'm buying a new home and the bank, or my insurance company needs to know if it is in a flood zone? A: The Community Development Department has Flood Maps from the Federal Emergency Management Agency National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). They will compare your street address to the NFIP maps and can issue you a statement declaring your flood zone.
Q. I am looking to develop a site and need to know what utilities are available? A. The Engineering Department maintains the City's Water and Sewer utility maps and in most cases can provide you with this utility information. If you need on-site assistance in the location of your own water service or sanitary sewer connections, you may contact the Water Department at (301) 759-6623 and the Sewer Department at (301) 759-6626.
REMEMBER: BEFORE YOU DIG contact MISS UTILITY at 1-800-257-7777.
Gas, Electric, Telephone and Cable utilities are private and their location information is not maintained by the City, please contact the owner of the utility.
Q: Do you have City Maps? A: Yes we do. Please check the Maps section of our website to download free maps, or if you need a hardcopy of a maps they please contact Brooke Firlie for information on pricing and availability. |
