The King George County Board of Supervisors and Board of Directors held a joint meeting on April 7, 2026, focusing extensively on budgetary and procurement matters. Key procurement discussions included approval of a capital improvement plan with allocations for school bus replacements, a metal roof for Potomac Elementary, ambulance and roll-off truck purchases, office trailer replacement, sheriff's office fleet vehicles, voting machines, park restroom facilities, and IT infrastructure upgrades. The board also discussed investment strategies with PFM Asset Management, emphasizing the county's approach to balancing safety, liquidity, and yield in managing public funds. A proposal for a $85,400 rate study contract with Stantec for the Service Authority was introduced but deferred for formal approval at a subsequent meeting. Additionally, the board appropriated $92,818 from the Service Authority fund balance to cover an interim financing bond interest payment. Public hearings were held on fee schedule updates for the Department of Community Development and an ordinance establishing deadlines for real estate assessment equalization applications. The meeting also addressed concerns about property tax assessments, transparency in debt fee calculations, and the preservation of the Ralph Bunche High School site, with community members advocating for a privately funded educational center. Motions were passed to accept various budgetary and procurement-related items, with further discussions planned for upcoming meetings.
