Background on the Capital Improvements Program (thanks to John Howley for sending this along)

In November 1996, Montgomery County voters endorsed the amendment of the County Charter to provide for a biennial, or once-every-two years, Capital Improvements Program. Charter section 302 now reads (underlined text was added in November 1996):

"The County Executive shall submit to the Council, not later than January 15 of _each even-numbered year_, a comprehensive six-year program for capital improvements. The County Executive shall submit to the Council, not later than March 15 of each year, comprehensive six-year program for public services and fiscal policy. The six-year programs shall require a vote of at least five Councilmembers for approval or modification. Final Council approval of the six-year programs shall occur at or about the date of budget approval."
