Residents of a West Baltimore public housing development and the management company that runs the complex have agreed to review disputed water bills as the sides attempt to resolve who is responsible for payment. Some Townes of Terraces tenants have been issued water bills of more than $3,000 after years of nonpayment and late fees. Representatives from Edgewood Management, the city Water Department and the Baltimore Housing Authority met with a few tenants last week at City Hall and decided that each resident with a pricey water bill will have the account reviewed. Larry Davis, who works for Edgewood, said the company will show how the Water Department came up with the amounts. Many of the residents contend they went years without ever receiving the quarterly bills from management. Davis said he expects to review about 17 bills.

The chief executive officer of the Tech Council of Maryland will resign at the end of November, the council said yesterday. Julie Coons, who led the council's effort to repeal a proposed computer services sales tax during the 2008 legislative session, is leaving to become the president and chief executive officer of the Electronic Retailing Association, said Michelle Ferrone, the council's vice president of marketing and operations. She said details about a search for a replacement are not complete.
