# Nov 13, 2026 - GO Committee Worksession

The Montgomery County Council Government Operations and Fiscal Policy Committee work session, titled Nov. 13, 2026, considered two expedited bills. The committee referred Bill 49-26 to the full Council for adoption without objection; it would increase the number of assistant chief administrative officers from four to six. The fiscal impact was described as indeterminate, with no anticipated climate impact. No purchasing, contracts, vendor selections, or other procurement activity was identified.

The committee also considered Bill 50-26, which would convert specified executive-branch deputy director and related leadership positions from merit-system to non-merit positions. The committee recommended removing the directors of the Commission for Women and the Office of Human Rights from the bill so those positions remain merit-system roles. It supported conversion for the other deputy director positions discussed, except the Deputy County Attorney position, which—along with the question of grandfathering current employees and other amendment issues—was left for full Council discussion. The bill’s fiscal impact was also described as indeterminate.
