Approximately $206.3 million went to the capital budget, which funds projects like roads and the plan to reduce future flooding in historic Ellicott City. An estimated $1.2 billion from the general fund goes to the operating budget, which funds police, schools and other operations. An additional $500 million within the operating budget is attached to special revenue funds, which cannot be moved to increase the school system’s budget. This includes fire and rescue and the agricultural land preservation fund.
