  SALISBURY -- Wicomico County is hiring its longtime municipal attorney, Ed Baker, to a staff position intended to employ his expert counsel at a bargain price.

  Baker, Wicomico's lead attorney since 1989, will leave his Salisbury firm June 30 to head the county's new law department.
  ...
  Supporters say his $110,000 salary will save money because Baker previously charged $145 per hour on behalf of his Salisbury firm.But some council members say Baker's position is saddled with too high of a pension liability and benefits from a low retainer -- at $5,000 -- to buy into the pension plan.
  
  "I have a lot of respect for Ed Baker, but I have a lot of respect for the taxpayers, too," said Councilman Joe Holloway.
  
  The Internal Revue Service classifies Baker, 58, as a part-time county employee since 1989.
  ...
  "I intend to work here for as long as they'll have me," Baker said."I'd like to concentrate on just one client."
  
  Estimating that Baker retires at age 65, he could be eligible for a yearly pension of $50,000, Thompson said.If Baker lived another 20 years -- a prognosis Baker calls optimistic -- he could receive $1 million in pension pay.
  ...
  Baker will be the fourth highest paid employee in the county, behind Shea ($124,400), county Recreation, Parks and Tourism Director Gary Mackes ($115,575) and Wicomico County State's Attorney Davis Ruark ($110,500).
  ...
  Councilman William McCain, who voted in favor of the department, said it would be unfair to Baker to start his pension years at zero.
  
  "The primary reason, without question, to creating the Department of Law is that it's cheaper for the county," he said."No.2, Mr. Baker is, by any measure, the obvious choice."
  ...
  In 1981, Baker became the assistant county attorney.Seven years later, he became the lead attorney for Wicomico County.He also provided counsel to five other local municipalities including Snow Hill and Princess Anne.
  
  Baker said municipal law "fascinates" him because of its diverse subject matter.One day he weighs in on the county detention center, the next, the county's recreation, parks and tourism department, he said.
  
  Married with two grown children, Baker acknowledged he is taking a pay cut for long-term financial security.
  
  For his part, Baker must "buy into" the pension plan.The estimated $25,000 cost is based off his $5,000 retainer salary and factors in county contributions and interest.
  
  County Administrator Ted Shea said Baker first requested to be in the pension system in 1989, but was denied.

The major concerns he would like to see addressed in the DCPC are Town-wide traffic, and nutrient contamination of surface water bodies.He feels that setting a process in motion that will result in planning and solutions to traffic impacts in important.This is not a matter of bringing in outside direction (CCC), rather a decision making process within the Town.Mr. Baker spoke to nutrient contamination of the embayments and the Estuaries Report, stating the need to reduce the amount of nutrients.He concluded by stating, "A DCPC is what we need; and working together is what we need".
