Background
Each year, the City adopts three annual budgets to guide civic spending:
The Operating Budget funds the provision of general City services and determines annual property tax rates.
The Capital Budget funds investments in new infrastructure or equipment.
The Utilities Budget supports provision of water, sewer, drainage and garbage and recycling services.
Once the City has adopted each of its three budgets for the coming year, it also develops a 5 Year Financial Plan to:
meet obligations under the Community Charter, which governs BC’s local government, and requires the City to adopt a 5 Year Financial Plan by May 15 of each calendar year
provide a budget road map for the City to manage its resources, revenues and spending to best serve the community
establish the City has ability to meet the needs of the community and maintain civic service levels for the coming five years, while meeting its legal requirement to deliver balanced annual operating budgets.
The proposed 5 Year Financial Plan received preliminary approval from City Council at the March 9, 2015 Council Meeting.
The Document Library (on this site) provides a copy of the latest information and budgets available, including a summary with highlights for the proposed plan.
