Wicomico County Council extends budget-adoption deadline to June 15
Summary
The Wicomico County Council unanimously approved Resolution 82-2026 on May 27, moving the deadline for adoption of the annual budget and appropriation bill from June 1 to June 15 to allow additional review of the county executive's proposed budget.
The Wicomico County Council unanimously approved Resolution 82-2026 on May 27, extending the deadline to adopt the annual budget and appropriation bill from June 1 to June 15, 2026.
A meeting official announced the single-item agenda and read the charter authority for the move, saying the extension "will allow council additional time to further review and discuss the county executive's proposed budget." The speaker noted that June 1 falls on a Monday while the next regularly scheduled council meeting is June 2, and the change would permit the council to adopt the budget at a regular meeting instead of convening a special session.
A council member moved the resolution, another seconded it, and the motion carried by voice vote with unanimous assent. After the vote the chair opened the floor for public comments, which focused primarily on fire and EMS funding and solid-waste tipping fees.
The council did not take further formal budget votes during the special session; adopting the full budget remains scheduled for no later than June 15, per the approved resolution.
