Supplemental Budget Items
Each year, Council considers proposals for additional expenses (or cost savings) after reviewing the provisional budget.
A supplemental budget item is something that relates to one of two things.
It is something new, like a pickleball court or a skateboard park. Many times, these items are identified by both individual members or groups in the public or City staff, requesting Council to fill an identified need to the City.
It is a change to the level of a service currently provided which will require additional resources or funding. For example, increasing the hours of transit or hiring additional staff to support the RCMP or the City's firefighting staff. These services are currently delivered to a certain level, adding to it changes the service level and the costs should Council approved the request.
The supplemental budget items that Council will be considering for the 2023-2027 five-year financial plan will be released for discussion in February.
