At-a-glance: committee preliminarily approves same-services budgets for McHale and Kidd, recommends OPEB switch for Montgomery College
Summary
The Education & Culture Committee on April 27 preliminarily approved same-services funding for McHale and the Kidd Museum, recommended a $4.6M OPEB trust draw to preserve Montgomery College funding and put a $3.625M IT restoration item on the reconciliation list; further actions go to full council for final decisions.
The Montgomery County Education & Culture Committee took preliminary budget actions on April 27: it approved same-services budgets for McHale and the Kidd Museum (final funding to be set by full council), recommended a $4.6 million switch for Montgomery College that would reduce tax-supported appropriation and authorize a draw from the college’s OPEB trust, and placed a separate $3,625,000 IT restoration request on the reconciliation list for additional negotiation.
Details recorded in committee proceedings: - McHale: committee approved the same-services budget recommendation (FY27 packet shows a 2.5% inflationary increase to $2,652,000.78). - Kidd Museum: committee approved a preliminary same-services budget; county-executive recommended level noted as just under $2,500,000 in the packet. - Montgomery College: committee recommended that $4.6M be drawn from the college's OPEB trust in lieu of an equivalent tax-supported appropriation increase; a $3.625M IT restoration item was placed on the reconciliation list.
These committee recommendations will go to full council for reconciliation and final action.
