Bill No. 125-75

AN ORDINANCE to repeal and re-enact, with amendments,
Sections 19-103, 19-105(b) and (c) , 19-106(b) and
(d) , 19-109, and 19-110 (a) of the Anne Arundel
County Code (1967 Edition and Supplements), Title

urban renewal powers; and to make certain technical
corrections in the law.

"the Council"; and

changes in the Urban Renewal Law in light of Charter
provisions requiring that legislative functions of Anne
Arundel County be vested in the County Council and
administrative and executive functions be vested in the
County Executive prompted the General Assembly to enact
Chapter 803 of the Laws of Maryland of 1975. Chapter 803
amended Chapter 791 of the Laws of Maryland of 1963 to
reflect the change in form of the Anne Arundel County
government and the resulting separation of powers between
the County Council and County Executive. Chapter 303
also stated that appropriate changes reflecting the
provisions of Chapter 803 be made in the Code of Anne
Arundel County. It is the purpose of this ordinance to
