The Council will then have two months to study the budget. It must adopt a final budget by late May. The FY23 operating budget will go into effect on July 1.
“We had six engaging and helpful budget forums, but it was very important to me that we also conduct a budget forum for our senior and aging community,” said County Executive Elrich. “I look forward to hearing their concerns and suggestions for investments. We are committed as a County to govern and budget so that all residents have an opportunity to participate in this very important part of that process.”
The forum will be televised live on the County cable station County Cable Montgomery, which can be seen on Comcast (Channel 6 and High-Definition Channel 996), RCN (Channel 6 and HD 1056) and Verizon (Channel 30). The forum also will be available on cable channels Takoma Park City TV (Channel 13), Montgomery Municipal (Channel 16, 997 Comcast), Corona Montgomery (Channel 10), and Montgomery Community Media (Channel 21).
The forum also can be viewed on the County’s Facebook page.
