Bowie City Council to Vote on Budget, Capital Improvement Plan

The City of Bowie is holding its regular mayor and council meeting tonight, May 21, where they will be voting on several issues, including the fiscal year 2013 budget and the adoption of a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for fiscal years 2013-2018.

A new temporary animal shelter is something that won’t be included in the new budget. A motion was made at the May 10 worksession to move funding for the shelter to fiscal year 2013, but that motion failed 3-4.

The council will also be voting on several resolutions, including a letter to the Prince George’s County Planning Board recommending approval of the preliminary site plan for Mill Crossing, approval of several zoning variances, and a bid for the removal and replacement of the city water treatment plant flat roof.

Tonight’s meeting will begin at 8 p.m. in the Bowie Town Hall.
