Commissioners approve $76,233 budget amendment to begin Garvey project design
Summary
St. Mary's County commissioners voted to amend the capital budget to move $76,233 into FY26 to fund the design and permitting phase of a Garvey department project. The motion passed on a voice vote after brief discussion about timing and reallocation across fiscal years.
A motion to amend the county capital budget to reallocate $76,233 into fiscal 2026 for design and permitting of a Garvey department project was approved during a February 24 budget work session.
The request, presented by Speaker 3, asked commissioners to shift the design and permitting funding into FY26 so work could begin on the project sooner. Speaker 1 moved to approve the budget amendment and Speaker 5 seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote; at least two commissioners responded "Aye" during the roll call.
Speaker 3 described the change as a reallocation across fiscal years rather than an added cost: "Just moving it forward so we can get started on the process." The presenter noted the shift moves funds back into FY26 rather than reducing the overall program cost.
No formal amendments to the motion were offered. The meeting proceeded to other agenda items after the vote.
