Summary

The board approved distribution of the town–county allocation for FY26 to seven municipalities; amounts vary annually and are based on population, assessments and the adopted budget total.

The Carroll County Board of Commissioners approved FY26 town–county agreements Thursday that distribute the county's annual allotment to seven municipalities. Staff said the county typically sets a total pot in the budget and then divides it among towns based on population and assessment changes. This year the board approved agreements for Hampstead ($340,000), Manchester ($330,000), Mount Airy ($205,000), New Windsor ($90,000), Sykesville ($250,000), Taneytown ($525,000), and Westminster ($1,250,000). Union Bridge's agreement was still pending staff review. Officials said the funds support cooperative arrangements on water resources and related services; towns pay portions of some employees' salaries and the county nets those amounts when remitting payments. The commissioners approved the agreements by voice vote.
