Summary

Council staff told joint committees a March 13 amendment to the FY27–32 capital improvements program removes duplicate entries for 55 police radio replacements, reducing projected expenditures by $2.6 million and spreading replacements across the six-year schedule; committees accepted the recommendation without objection.

Council staff presented a March 13 county executive amendment to the FY27–32 capital improvements program that reduces projected spending on the county radio replacement project by $2,600,000 and spreads replacements across the six-year schedule. The reduction, staff said, results from duplicate entries for 55 police radio replacements that appeared in both FY27 and FY28 and the amendment removes the FY28 duplicates.

Committee members asked no substantive questions about the technical change. Chair Stewart said the joint committees were comfortable with council staff’s recommendation and moved to advance the amendment. The committee did not record a roll-call vote; the chair described the committee action as a recommendation to the full council.

The amendment preserves the overall project but delays some replacements within the FY27–32 schedule, according to council staff. No new fiscal or climate impacts were reported for this amendment in the packet.

The joint committees then moved on to other business.
