The Rockville City Council held a work session on September 2, 2026, to address routine consent agenda items, discuss the upcoming budget process, review the six-month calendar, and receive updates on state legislative activities. Key decisions included support for a resolution on municipal revenue sources, agreement to increase housing funds, and positions on several state bills.
So thank you for that. Good morning. Good morning, Mayor. All right. So this there's drop-in today for Mayor Ashton, Councilmember Fulton. Meeting starts at 6 30. We do have some board and commission appointments and reappointments today. On the consent agenda, we have instrumental nonprofit grant seeking resource. That by the way, just quick sidebar allows all the folks that are seeking grant resources from the city to get into this nationwide database to get additional grant support outside the city. I think it's pretty cool. And I give praise to Ryan's team for figuring that out. It's kind of neat. We have the resolution to support the task force to modern ours county and municipal revenue sources. Anything about enhancing revenue sources pre-budget. I'm all for it. We have approval of the minutes. And then we get into budget. Again, just a reminder tonight, you know, obviously we have a public hearing. It really is the introduction and talking about revenues where they stand. So and then we have the first budget work session on strategic initiatives and revenues. Council member Van Grak. Um, because of the short time from when it was released to here, we're probably gonna have less people here, but because we don't have the meeting, I know next week. Be prepared that the hearing on the 23rd, when that second hearing because of that is gonna be significantly larger than this one and normal, because I think a lot of people, this was too soon for them to give comment on. So just note when we're planning for the differentiation between the two budget areas. Right. Good great point. Thanks for bringing that up. We'll be we'll be ready for that. Anything else on tonight's agenda? Pretty straightforward. I just wanted to flag and appreciate the resolution uh for studying municipal revenues at the state level was added. So just wanted to fly back to my colleagues. Great. Thank you, Mayor. And thanks for giving us the quick heads up on that. We quickly put it together. Thanks to Linda and the clerk's office. All right, let's go to the 23rd if we have a draft agenda for that. All right, there's your agenda for the 23rd. Starts at 630. Pretty uneventful on the front end, which is actually good news because once you get into the meat of the agenda, it gets pretty big. There is the aforementioned um budget public hearing number three. We'll be ready. Um, then we get deeply into the budget.
