Anne Arundel Budget Town Hall Meetings Run Through March 28

ANNE ARUNDEL, MD — Town hall meetings will be held through March 28 at sites around Anne Arundel County. The meetings will feature opening remarks from County Executive Steuart Pittman and the County Councilmember representing the district, followed by a brief budget presentation. Attendees will then be invited to make public comments.

County Executive Pittman launched an interactive budget tool on the county website. Users can see how revenue and expenses of the current year's budget are divided, as well as estimated costs for some county personnel positions and equipment. Users are able to adjust tax rates, add new positions - like teacher, police, firefighters or zoning inspectors - and the tool will calculate the fiscal impact. The tool is available at: https://www.aacounty.org/yourbudget/index.html
Pittman will introduce the budget on May 1, in accordance with the county charter. The County Council then has 45 days to deliberate and pass a balanced budget.
