OAKLAND, Calif. - When Orioles center fielder Adam Jones came off the Oakland Coliseum field after the bottom of second inning Thursday, he threw his glove dejectedly into the dugout and then made a pronouncement: "I'm going to pick us up. I got it. " A few batters later, Jones doubled to give the Orioles a 3-2 lead in a game in which they won 10-2. It was important for Jones, who was hitting .359 heading into Friday, to come up big with the bat. Because the two-time Gold Glove outfielder has been uncharacteristically shaky in the field since the season started.

The Annapolis City Council met in closed session Monday night to discuss the residency issues surrounding Alderman Kenneth A. Kirby, who is without a permanent home, but offered no new details on how the city would proceed on the issue. Annapolis Mayor Joshua J. Cohen said the council had a "candid and privileged" discussion with City Attorney Karen Hardwick. Cohen said he instructed Hardwick to draft a memo to address two issues: what the city code and charter say about residency requirements and what role the mayor and council play in determining that those standards are met. He set a two-week deadline.

It's nothing new for politicians' opponents to try to throw them out of office by claiming they don't live in the district they represent. But the effort to unseat Annapolis Alderman Kenneth Kirby comes with an unusual twist. Republicans have challenged Mr. Kirby's residency, and the mayor and the rest of the council are scheduled to take up the matter on Monday, not because he has moved somewhere else but because he is, effectively, homeless. Mr. Kirby says he stays with family and friends.

The Annapolis panel that oversees elections said Wednesday that it lacks the authority to investigate the residency of Alderman Kenneth A. Kirby, who does not have a permanent home, leaving the matter to the mayor and city council to decide. "Being that there is no pending primary or election, it is not appropriate to investigate or make determinations of a sitting alderman's ability to serve," said Mike Parmele, chairman of the Board of Supervisors of Elections. Annapolis Mayor Joshua J. Cohen, a Democrat, after receiving complaints from city residents, had called for the election board and the city attorney to investigate whether Kirby lives in the ward and whether he is required to under city law. The board heard testimony from a small number of residents during a public meeting Wednesday night at City Hall . Kirby, a Democrat, attended the meeting but did not speak.

Annapolis Alderman Kenneth A. Kirby will appear Wednesday night before the city's election board as the panel investigates whether Kirby, who does not have a permanent home, is meeting residency requirements. Annapolis Mayor Joshua J. Cohen has asked for both the city Board of Elections and the Office of Law to issue opinions on whether Kirby, a Democrat, is required to live in the ward he represents. The inquiries will also seek to determine whether Kirby lives in the ward. Cohen, also a Democrat, said he received several inquiries on the matter from the public, including the city Republican Central Committee.

Every other Monday night, Annapolis Alderman Kenneth A. Kirby, dressed in a suit and tie, takes his seat on the dais at City Council meetings, discussing community issues and voting on legislation. Afterward, the others head home from City Hall. And Kirby wanders. Kirby, who grew up in public housing in the capital city, is without a permanent place to live. He stays with a network of friends and family who open their homes to him — a niece in public housing, a friend in Annapolis' moneyed downtown.

Annapolis housing officials have confirmed that city Alderman Kenneth A. Kirby is not an approved tenant or visitor of a city-owned apartment where he was found during a drug raid earlier this month. Kirby faced questions about his residency after the Jan. 5 raid of two apartments, with housing officials investigating whether he was staying there in violation of a lease agreement. Police have said Kirby is not accused of any wrongdoing in connection with the drug raid. Housing Authority chief operating officer Joseph Johnson told The Capital in Annapolis that the agency's paperwork does not list Kirby as a tenant or visitor of the city-owned apartment in the Harbour House community.

Annapolis housing officials are investigating whether an alderman found by police in a city-owned complex during a drug raid last week is living there in violation of a lease agreement. Alderman Kenneth A. Kirby had little to say Tuesday about where he lives. Annapolis police said Kirby, who was in one of two apartments that were raided, is not accused of any wrongdoing. "I'm 57 years old, if I want to lay my head there or anywhere else in the city of Annapolis, that's where I'll be," said Kirby, who was elected to the council in 2009.

Councilman David Marks has stood with the citizens of Carney in refusing to introduce a planned unit development (PUD) for the former Bill Bateman property located north of the Harford and Northwind roads intersection in Cub Hill. This is the last property south of the URDL (Urban Rural Demarction Line). This decision was an important one. Marks told me about the PUD and the meeting of the Northwind Townhomes Home Owners Association (HOA) and I attended the meeting with permission of HOA. The PUD proposed by Kirby as presented to the HOA board was to build 160 apartments on the site.
