Commissioners Approve Budget Amendment and Transfer

On Tuesday morning, the Charles County Commissioners voted to approve the proposed budget amendment and budget transfer presented to them by the
Department of Fiscal and Administrative Services.

Due to a significant loss in projected interest income and income taxes, the County calculated it was necessary to offset their revenue decline by approximately $3.5 million. After reviewing last year’s budget and analyzing trends, Fiscal Services determined approximately $2 million needed to be cut from the County’s operating budget. Although public safety and education account for more than 70% of the County’s budget the Charles County Sheriff’s Office and Charles County Board of Education were not asked to make cuts in this process.

The County was also able to realize $900,000 through budget reallocation of positions and salary savings from a hiring freeze.

Additionally, Fiscal Services requested to transfer $700,000 from the County’s Cable Fund to the General Fund to enable them to offset the projected
revenue losses.

  • 2. · So, the Sheriff's Office and the BOE are spared....what about the Department of Emergency Services??

  • 3. · Despite this press release from the Commissioners, the CCSO and BOE budgets have been cut. Maybe not in proportion to those other county departments have faced, but they have been cut. For what its worth those agencies aren't under the direct purview of the Commissioners.

  • 4. · Thanks for pointing that out. A lot like when the didn't raise taxes but tax bills increased.

  • 6. · #1 It is fortunate for educators, public safety employees and we the public that it is an election year.

    Ken, I was watching the latest Board of Appeals regarding Mirant and didn't see you. I figured you recused yourself due to the subject matter, but then thought I saw you in the front row. Then, I see from the CC Gov't website that you are an alternate. What's that all about? Did "someone(s)" think you were getting too much air time?

  • 8. · Word on the street is the commissioners want Ken removed from the board, so, it would seem the fact that Ken was in the audience vs. seated with the board shows they may be partially getting their way...

    formerly known on the ‘Duck as CCCitizen and, unless otherwise stated, any opinions expressed are those of my own.

  • 9. · #7 It would be inappropriate for me to comment.

    #8 the commissioners want Ken removed from the board

    I don't think it takes a mental giant to read between the lines. Thanks for the replies.
