SNOW HILL -- Worcester County leaders at their next meeting are scheduled to get a follow-up report on how emergency services last weekend handled the effects of Hurricane Irene.

The Aug. 26-27 storm knocked out power for many area homes, and led to widespread flooding and fallen trees. Authorities said flooding didn't happen anywhere other than locations that already flood when rain is heavy. No area deaths were reported as a result of the storm's effects.

County leaders also will consider filling critical vacant positions, including: a program coordinator for an Illegal firearms initiative, an assistant prosecutor for the Drug Court, an office assistant to the State's Attorney's Office, two captains at the county jail and an associate at the Pocomoke library.

Also scheduled for Tuesday's meeting, the commissioners will hold a public hearing in regard to the progress of a housing rehabilitation-related community development block grant.

Another scheduled public hearing will address the possible inclusion of property north of Gum Point Road to the county's water and sewage services. The property is owned by home builder Steen Associates.

In administrative matters, commissioners are scheduled to hear an overview of the county's solid waste program as presented by a private environmental engineering firm.
