It's a problem many local governments would love to have right now. The College Park City Council has about $600,000 to spend.
The money comes from a speed camera system that has collected about $2.4 million in fines since it went into action in October, The Washington Examiner reported.
Most of the money goes to the company that operates the cameras and to Prince George's County police. But about $600,000 is left over for College Park.
If the money is not allocated for a public safety use by the end of the fiscal year on June 30, the state takes the money.
"I wouldn't say we're in a scramble," Council member Marcus Afzali told The Examiner. "I wish we would've started a little earlier, but I don't think we're in any panic mode or something."
