Howard County Budget Hearings - News from Your County Councilwoman, Jen Terrasa



Dear Friend,

I want to share with you some information about the upcoming budget season for fiscal year 2011. I thought you might be interested to know that the County Executive will be holding two budget hearings in the next two weeks to solicit comments on a draft budget for FY2011. The press release for those hearings is below.

Following these hearings, the County Executive will finalize his proposed budget and submit it to the County Council in early April. The County Council will hold hearings on the proposed budget throughout April and May. The Council is scheduled to vote on the final budget on May 19, 2010.

To view the Council’s budget hearing schedule, click on the following link: http://www.co.ho.md.us/CountyCouncil/CCdocs/Budget_Brochure_FY2011.pdf. You may also request the Council’s Budget Calendar in hard copy by calling our office at 410-313-2001.

Below the press release on the County Executive’s budget hearings is a partial list of projects located in District 3 that I thought you might find helpful. The full draft budget can be found at http://www.howardcountymd.gov/DPZ/DPZDocs/CapitalBudget_PB.pdf . A summary of the draft budget can be viewed at http://www.howardcountymd.gov/DOA/DOAPDFs/March17HearingRpt.pdf.

As always, please don't hesitate to contact me with your questions, concerns or comments. You can reach me at jterrasa@howardcountymd.gov or 410-313-2001. Your letters and phone calls help me continue to advocate on your behalf.

I encourage you to share this email with anyone who may be interested.

All the best,

Jen
