Montgomery County Council Begins FY11 Operating Budget Sessions

The Montgomery County Council began worksessions on the Fiscal Year 2011 Operating Budget today, Monday, May 10, 2010 with a status report on progress toward achieving a balanced budget from Council Staff Director Steve Farber. This report reflects the intensive work of the Council’s six committees since budget public hearings were held April 5-9. The report presented to the Council includes committee recommendations to the Council that differ from County Executive Isiah Leggett’s recommended budget that was presented on March 15 and adjusted on April 22. The report will include items the committees have placed on the “reconciliation list” for further consideration if funding resources permit.

The Council started worksessions concerning the operating budget requests of the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, the Department of Recreation and the Police Department.

The Council is also considering tentative approval of more than 50 budget requests on a consent calendar.

The Council is scheduled to reach a tentative agreement on the budget on May 20 and is scheduled to adopt the budget on May 27.
