Summary
The Council introduced Ordinance O-02-2025 to adopt the FY2025-26 budget and set a Community Budget Forum for April 9 at 6:00 pm followed by a public hearing at 7:30 pm; the introduction passed unanimously.
The Kensington Mayor and Council on March 12 introduced Ordinance O-02-2025 to appropriate and adopt the Fiscal Year 202526 budget and to levy a tax under §6-203 of the Tax-Property Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland. The introduction passed unanimously and the Council set a public hearing for Wednesday, April 9, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. A Community Budget Forum will precede the hearing at 6:00 p.m.
Town Manager Hoffman noted prior work sessions and CIP funding-priority discussions that informed the draft budget. The Council referenced CIP priorities discussed at the Feb. 18 work session, including stormwater management and a future public works building. The Councils adoption process will include the April public hearing; the public record on the related property-sale ordinance closed March 7.
The introduction carries no vote on final appropriations; the Council must return following public comment and the hearing to adopt the budget. The town posted the hearing and forum on its meeting schedule and encouraged community participation.
