SPENDING AFFORDABILITY/ BUDGET FY 18


Spending Affordability Advisory Committee Report
The Howard County Spending Affordability Advisory Committee, which evaluates future county revenues and other financial indicators, has issued its report for fiscal years 2018-2022. The report indicates that the County will face significant challenges without additional revenue sources or adjustments to projected expenses, county services and capital improvement needs will outpace revenue growth, making current spending patterns unsustainable.
