improvements program, the county shall advertise in not less
than two issues in any newspaper published in Prince
George's County, that the commission has under consideration
construction of a drainage system in the area determined
upon or part of the area, giving in the advertisement the
approximate cost and the general area affected, and advising
those interested that a hearing will be held by the county
at a time and place named in the advertisement at which all
interested parties will be heard. At the hearing the
commission shall be prepared to exhibit a plan for the
drainage area or part of the area, including the length and
size of pipe and the approximate cost. In its final action,
the county governing body may make such amendments,
revisions or modifications as it may determine, subject to
the limitations otherwise herein provided. Any amendment,
revision or modification shall not become final until after
it is submitted to the commission for written comment, with
at least thirty days provided for comment. In their review
for approval or amendments to the six-year capital
improvements program, the respective county governing bodies
shall seek the advice and recommendation of the
Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission.

objectives with respect to a project to be constructed in
whole or in part in one county declares that the project is

to the other of the two respective counties, the project may
be disapproved with the concurrence of the governing body of
the county which is to receive the designed services.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, the governing body
wherein the project is located shall have the authority to
direct modifications in location, or change the proposed
year of construction if such modification or change will not
prevent the services being available when needed. The
authority to direct modifications in location may be
exercised to effect reasonable changes in location on the
occasion of the action of the county governing body when the
project is first submitted as a part of the six-year capital
improvements program. Thereafter, the authority to make
further modifications shall be limited to only ones which do
not result in substantial net additional costs or expenses
to the commission unless the county governing body directing
the modification shall provide for reimbursing the
commission for such substantial net additional costs or
expenses.

(3)  In the event that a county governing body in
its approval or amendment of the commission's six-year
capital improvements program shall approve the undertaking
of any capital project for which there is a lack of, or an
insufficiency of funds from the anticipated funding sources
shown by the commission, then the commission shall not be
obligated to undertake such project in the absence of action
by the respective county governing body to provide the
additional sources of capital. In the event that as a
