(b) Prior to October 1st of each calendar year,
the commission shall prepare and submit to the county
governing body of Prince George's County and the county

cost, a statement of all funding sources. The capital
improvements program shall include all programmed
parkland acquisition, all major parkland improvement,

integral part of the comprehensive six—year capital
improvements program required by the Charter for
Montgomery County.

Each county governing body shall, on or before
adoption of its annual budget and appropriations
resolution, adopt the six—year capital improvements
program. Such adoption shall occur only after public
hearings thereon which may be conducted in conjunction
with public hearings on their own and other agencies'
six—year programs or capital budgets. In its adoption,
the county governing body may make such amendments,
revisions or modifications as it may determine. Any such
amendment, revision or modification shall not become
final until submission to the commission for written
comment on at least [thirty] 30 days' notice.

The capital budget of the commission for the
succeeding fiscal year shall include such projects so as
to be in full conformity with that part of the capital
program adopted for the first of the six—year program.
No such capital project [shall] MAY be undertaken, in
whole or in part, which is not in conformity with that
part of the program applicable to that year unless the
same shall be amended by the county governing body on its
own initiative or at the request of the commission and
