Leggett to Host Final FY16 Operating Budget

Public Forum; Residents’ Input Crucial in Determining Priorities

 

 

Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett will host the final FY16 Operating Budget forum on Monday, January 26 at the Bethesda Chevy-Chase Regional Services Center, 4805 Edgemoor Lane, Bethesda. The forum will begin at 7 p.m.

Residents are invited to attend and provide input about priorities for the Fiscal Year 2016 Operating Budget.

            “Public forums give residents an opportunity to tell me what’s important to them as I prepare next year’s operating budget for submission to the County Council on March 16,” said Leggett. “Input from residents for the FY16 budget is crucial in helping me determine the County’s budget priorities.”

            Sign language interpreter services will be provided only upon request with notice as far in advance as possible, but no less than 72 hours prior to the event. If these or other services or aids are needed to participate in this activity, call 240-777-6507, TTY 240-773-3556 or email a request to Karen.falcon@montgomerycountymd.gov.

            The County Executive announces his Recommended Fiscal Year 2016 Operating Budget on March 16. The County Council approves the operating budget at the end of May.
