METCOM capital plan approved in joint meeting; commissioners pass FY2027 CIB and FY2028–2032 plan
Summary
Saint Mary's County commissioners and METCOM approved METCOM's FY2027 capital improvement budget and the FY2028–2032 capital plan by voice vote at a joint meeting on May 12, 2026; the motion was moved and seconded and no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
A majority of Saint Mary's County commissioners and the Saint Mary's County Metropolitan Commission approved METCOM's fiscal year 2027 capital improvement budget and the FY2028–2032 capital plan during a joint meeting on May 12, 2026.
Commissioner (functional) moved “to approve the Saint Mary's County Metropolitan Commission, FY 2027 capital improvement budget, CIB, and FY 2028 to FY 2032 plan in accordance with section 113-30 of the code of Saint Mary's County.” The motion was seconded by Commissioner Randy Guy and approved by voice vote, with the chair declaring “Ayes have it.” The transcript does not record a roll-call tally.
The plan approved at the meeting follows prior review by the planning commission and additional meetings between METCOM and county staff. METCOM representatives noted they had no additional material changes to present at the meeting and that several projects in the CIB align with already authorized loan funding.
METCOM Chair Joseph Gold thanked the commissioners for recent loan approvals that keep critical projects moving and for cooperation on recent code amendments tied to HB 600. County presentations earlier in the meeting described project-level progress on water-main replacements, road work and a recently approved wastewater-treatment plant preconstruction schedule.
Because the vote was taken by voice and individual votes were not read into the record, the meeting record includes only the motion, a second and the chair’s announcement that the motion carried. The commissioners adjourned following brief closing remarks and a short recess.
Next steps: METCOM and county staff will continue project coordination and follow routine procurement and preconstruction steps specified in the approved CIB and capital plan; no additional formal action was recorded in the transcript.
