St. Mary's County to include $123,375 share for Tri-County animal shelter improvements
Summary
Commissioners were told the county's share for capital improvements at the Tri-County animal shelter (shared with Charles and Calvert counties) is $123,375; staff recommended including that amount in the FY2013 CIP.
St. Mary's County staff told commissioners May 14 that the county's share of capital improvement costs for the Tri-County animal shelter would be approximately $123,375 and recommended programming that amount into FY2013 funding.
Why it matters: the shelter is joint-operated by St. Mary's, Charles and Calvert counties and capital improvements are shared proportionally. County staff said Charles County submitted a recommendation supporting the amount and the three counties coordinate on the capital and operating allocation.
Staff said the requested county amount represents St. Mary's pro rata share of a shelter capital package and that the request arrived after the initial recommended budget; staff recommended including the $123,375 in the county's FY2013 capital plan. Commissioners indicated support for coordinating earlier next year to make operating and capital recommendations in a more synchronized manner.
Ending: Commissioners directed staff to include the requested Tri-County animal shelter funding in the revised FY2013 CIP.
