Kevin Kamenetz receives “honorary social memberships” at Woodholme Country Club in Pikesville, Md., and the Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Md., as indicated in his latest financial disclosure filing. He did not list an approximate value for the memberships.
According to his latest financial disclosure filing, Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz receives “honorary social memberships” at a pair of country clubs, the Baltimore Sun reported.
The seven members of the Baltimore County Council are required each year to list their sources of income, interests in certain types of businesses, property they own in the county and gifts they receive worth $20 or more. The information is posted online by May 1 each year, the Sun reported.
Kamenetz’s disclosure for 2015 is more extensive than those of the seven council members, who reported few gifts and few financial interests. Most of the gifts that Kamenetz listed were tickets to galas and dinners, such as the American Visionary Arts Museum’s 20th anniversary gala ($500) and the Walters Art Museum’s annual gala (also $500). Kamenetz also accepted tickets to an “Italian American dinner” worth $400 from developer John Vontran, the Sun reported.
He did not list an approximate value for the “honorary social memberships” he received to the Woodholme Country Club in Pikesville, Md., and the Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Md., the Sun reported.
“I do not play golf there and pay all incidental meal charges,” Kamenetz noted in the filing.
Don Mohler, a spokesman for Kamenetz, said he couldn’t put a value on the country club memberships. He said the county executive has never made use of his membership at the invitation-only Caves Valley, the Sun reported.
Many of the items on the list of gifts are “common courtesies extended to all county executives to help promote their causes or organizations,” Mohler said.
