At the end of November, County Executive Leggett sent a memo to the County Council announcing that a FY18 budget savings plan would need to be implemented with 2% cuts. That plan is due to be delivered to the Council before the end of the month.
Nonprofit Montgomery will be monitoring the plan, and working to inform Councilmembers of the nonprofit sector’s concerns related to it. We look forward to working side-by-side with the Council to implement savings while protecting the most vulnerable residents of Montgomery County.
To help Nonprofit Montgomery gather input from nonprofits, please join us on Wednesday, January 10 from 2-4pm for a Nonprofit Convening about the Savings Plan.
This packet from the Council’s December 12 session includes County Executive’s Leggett’s memo on page 32 of the supporting materials. This also contains valuable information about budget pressures that will not only impact FY18 and a savings plan, but future budget years as well.
