		<description><![CDATA[BULLETIN The Cecil County Council Tuesday night adopted the Fiscal 2021 budget proposed by County Executive Alan McCarthy after a lengthy afternoon worksession at which Council members rejected multiple spending cuts proposed by Councilor Jackie Gregory (R-5), including payments for first responders’ and correctional officers’ overtime work. The one cut in the operating budget endorsed at the afternoon worksession – eliminating a $30,000 position for an administrative aide at the county’s animal shelter—was reversed on a 3-2 vote at the evening session after David Trolio, director of the Department of Community Services which oversees the animal operations, outlined the need for the position—the only new staff hiring in the entire county budget proposal. Gregory and Councilor Bill Coutz (R-2) voted to cut the position while Council President Bob Meffley (R-1) and Councilors Al Miller and George Patchell voted to retain the position in the budget. On the vote to formally adopt the operating budget, Gregory and Coutz voted no while Meffley, Miller and Patchell voted for the budget. Coutz did not offer any spending cut proposals of his own but noted he had worked with Gregory on some of her amendments proposed at the worksession. Gregory also voted no on [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Cecil County Council indicated informal support for most of County Executive Tari Moore’s proposed Fiscal 2015 budget during a Tuesday afternoon worksession, supporting county schools and library spending and rejecting a bid by Council President Robert Hodge (R-5) to scale back spending on a new regional park. But the Council did agree to save $2.8 million by deferring a sewer upgrade at Cherry Hill and to use the budget process to require higher mileage for county Sheriff’s cars before they are replaced. And County Executive Moore announced Tuesday that one national bond rating agency had upgraded its rating of the county’s bond credit-worthiness, a move that could reduce the costs of county borrowing for capital projects. Hodge declared at the outset of the session that the panel was not taking any formal votes but as members went through the line items, as well as recommendations from a citizens’ budget advisory panel, the majority sentiments were clear. The Council will hold another worksession next week and will conduct its formal votes and adoption of a new budget at its evening meeting on Tuesday 5/20/14. Par for the course at recent Council worksessions, Councilor Diana Broomell (R-4) took verbal shots at [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Executive Tari Moore proposed a new Fiscal 2015 budget that would freeze property tax rates, add one new Sheriff’s deputy to the force and boost public schools spending by 3.5 percent, including a rising share of teacher pension costs dumped on the county by the state. For the second consecutive year, Moore would balance her budget by tapping more than $4.1 million from reserve funds, or “fund balance” accounts. Moore’s current year budget called for using $4 million of reserve funds but the County Council made some last-minute cuts in schools, libraries and the Sheriff’s budget that brought the hit on reserves down to $3.3 million this year. Also for the second consecutive year, Moore’s budget would freeze local property tax rates at .9907 per $100 of assessed property value. While most homeowners will face no increases, some residents whose properties are re-assessed this year by the state may have higher property values to which their tax rate is applied. Moore said, at a Friday press conference to unveil her budget, that she had to cut $20 million from various departmental spending requests and defer many capital improvement projects in order to stick to her pledge to keep [&#8230;]]]></description>
