City Council Approves Mayor’s $75.1 Million Budget for FY 2011

This spending plan is 13 percent smaller than the current-year $86.5 million budget – perhaps the largest percentage cut this year by any city in Maryland.

The council approved the operating budget, 6-3, with Aldermen Frederick M. Paone, Mathew Silverman and Ross H. Arnett opposing. The council went on to approve the capital budget, 8-1, with Mr. Paone voting “no.”

The council approved the four union contracts including fire, police, AFSCME Local 3162 and AFSCME Local 3406.

The council also approved the fee schedule, but it set a public hearing for Monday, June 14 specifically to hear testimony on dock and mooring fees and charges for the Roger “Pip” Moyer Community Recreation Center at Truxtun Park.
