Through a series of Committee of the Whole meetings and numerous presentations by community groups throughout November and December, Council has developed the 2010 Provisional Budget. The Base Budget totals $15,957,904 and the Project Budget totals $3,632,093.
The Provisional Budget authorizes expenditures in the New Year and will be replaced by the 2010 to 2014 Financial Plan Bylaw (which needs to be adopted by May 15th, 2010). After 2009 Year End, Council will modify the Provisional Budget by considering actual 2009 surpluses, project works-in-progress, property assessments, taxation and outstanding items.
