Happy New (Fiscal) Year and What Counts as a Meeting? You Might Be Surprised...

On the latest episode of the Conduit Street Podcast, Michael Sanderson and Kevin Kinnally are joined by special guest Robin Eilenberg, MACo's research director, to discuss the latest news and notes from Annapolis. At the top of the list is the 2019 MACo Budgets-in Brief survey. July marks the start of the fiscal year for Maryland’s county governments, when new budgets go into effect. We discuss the latest county-by-county budget details, including taxes, salaries, and education funding.And we explain why a recent ruling from Maryland’s Open Meetings Compliance Board may cause jurisdictions to reassess some of the more “informal” means used to arrive at custodial and administrative matters.MACo has made the podcast available through both iTunes and Google Play Music by searching Conduit Street Podcast.
