Frederick County budget director Harold Keller told commissioners his revenue projection for the next fiscal year totals 111,413,608 after hedging on possible gains and removing 2 million anticipated from McKinney Park property sale. The panel added 1 million to the projected surplus, aiming for a final 3 million, with a public hearing set for May 5 at Frederick High School and a budget adoption target by June 30.

County budget rules require 5 percent fund balance
Commissioner Mark Hoke emphasized a new law forces the county to reserve five percent of expenditures or five million dollars. The budget office can include state changes, but the fund balance aims to protect the county's bond market rating and prevent last minute money findings.
