New Council Budget Workshop

17 January 2025

At the regular Council Meeting on December 10, 2024, Council passed a motion adding an additional workshopping meeting into the 2025 Budget process. That workshopping session will be taking place during Committee of the Whole next Tuesday, January 21, beginning at 10:00 am.

The goal of this session is to dig deeper into the 2025 Budget and 2025-2029 Five Year Financial Plan items to better assess the opportunities for and related impacts of potential tax reductions.

There aren’t any opportunities for public inquiries at Committee of the Whole meetings, but residents are welcome to observe from the gallery or virtually through zoom or Youtube.

The results of this session will help frame the format of our second round of public budget engagement which will take place in February/March and will include online feedback tools along with another in-person engagement event at McArthur Island, Sports Center Lounge on February 13, 6:00–8:00 pm.
