Council approves stormwater permit financial assurance plan and three school budget supplements unanimously
Summary
The Montgomery County Council took three roll‑call actions at the March 3 meeting: it approved the FY‑24 NPDES municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) financial assurance plan and supplemental appropriations for MCPS career advising and community schools programs. Votes were recorded as unanimous among members present.
The Montgomery County Council approved three administrative items during its March 3 meeting: the FY‑24 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) municipal separate storm sewer system financial assurance plan and two supplemental appropriations for Montgomery County Public Schools.
Council members approved the FY‑24 NPDES MS4 financial assurance plan after a brief public hearing and no registered speakers. The motion to approve passed unanimously among members present and those joining by Zoom; the council did not read a roll‑call tally into the public record at the meeting.
The council then approved three supplemental appropriations tied to MCPS programs: a supplemental appropriation for a blueprint career advising program (over $2.1 million) and a supplemental appropriation for the Blueprint Community Schools program (over $2.2 million). For the career advising appropriation, Council Vice President Giwando moved and Council Member Sales seconded; the council voted and the motion passed unanimously among members present. The community schools appropriation was moved by Vice President Giwando and seconded by Council Member Balcom and also passed unanimously.
The council chair noted no registered public speakers for these items. The actions were procedural and required no policy change; the measures add state‑ and MCPS‑restricted funds to the county operating budget for the stated programs.
Formal actions recorded: the NPDES financial assurance plan and both MCPS supplemental appropriations were approved; the council announced the votes were unanimous among those present (including members on Zoom). Detailed vote counts were not included in the hearing record.
