The Prince George Committee of the Whole convened on May 6, 2025, to discuss the proposed Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget, focusing on the Office of Informational Technologies and the Revenue Authority.

The meeting began with an overview of the Office of Informational Technologies' proposed CIP for fiscal year 2026. The total project cost is set at $9 million, with $3 million allocated to support strategic IT initiatives. These initiatives aim to enhance citizen access to county services, improve government operational efficiencies, and bolster performance and security capabilities. The acting director, Dwayne Prophet, noted the importance of closing out existing CIP projects and expressed readiness to address any questions from council members, although none were raised.

Following this discussion, Sylvia Singleton from the budget and policy analysis team presented the budget for the Revenue Authority. The total budget cost for this authority is $324.8 million, which encompasses three distinct projects. Singleton stepped in for analyst Shailene Miller White, who was absent due to illness.

The meeting concluded without any votes or resolutions, but it highlighted the ongoing efforts to optimize resources and improve county services through strategic funding in technology and infrastructure projects. Further discussions and follow-up actions are anticipated as the committee continues to refine the budget proposals.
