The Capital Budget/Capital Improvement Program and Operating Budget are submitted simultaneously as two separate documents by the Executive not later than March 15 each calendar year. In Prince George’s County, terms used to describe these types of budgets are the Operating Budget and the Six Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The capital budget refers to the first year of the Six (6) Year Capital Improvement Program. There are generally two types of budgets, an annual operating budget and a capital budget. We are pleased to provide you with this guide, designed to help clarify any questions you may have about the steps involved in putting together the county's spending plan, and the Council's role in the review and adoption of the Budget.Īccording to Section 804 of the County Charter, " Not later than March 15 of each fiscal year, the County Executive shall submit to the Council the proposed county budget for the ensuing fiscal year." The Council's Budget Process can seem complex. The COW will hold virtual hearings beginning in April through May to discuss staff reports, question agency executives and program managers, and review proposed agency spending plans. Audits and Investigations and Council Administration staff hold work sessions with agencies beginning in late March through mid-April and prepare written reports for the County Council sitting as the Committee of the Whole (COW).
The County Council and staff begin reviewing and analyzing the proposed budget once transmitted by the County Executive. We look forward to even greater citizen engagement and encourage you check back often for timely budget updates. Here you will find a wide range of budget resources including a summary of the current Budget, the current spending plan, an explanation of the council’s budget review and adoption process, public hearing schedules and other important budget calendar dates, as well as links to press releases, event announcements and more.
