The Baltimore City Council Budget & Appropriations Committee is advancing nearly $68 million to cover overspending within various city agencies in fiscal year 2024.
City Budget Director Laura Larsen on Tuesday described it as “retroactive appropriations.”
The appropriations include 11 total bills — which were read at the full council meeting last week — totaling $67,859,335. While the city still had a $46 million overall surplus last year, Larsen said this amount is greater than appropriations for fiscal year 2023 but less than appropriations for fiscal year 2022.
