City of WL 2010 Budget Process

From the City of Williams Lake website:

2010 Budget Process

City Council will be holding a Public Information Meeting at 6:30pm on Tuesday, December 8th in Council Chambers to provide an overview of Council’s Strategic Direction for the 2010 Budget process. The meeting will include an overview of the 2008-2011 Corporate Priorities, additional Corporate Priorities for 2010 and budget targets for the 2010 operating and capital budgets.

Budget development is at the very preliminary stages and no budget scenarios will be provided at this time. Council will be seeking general input of the direction and targets it has set for the 2010 budget. Additional public meetings will take place in the new-year once budget scenarios/options have been developed.

In 2008, Council committed that they would provide an enhanced level of public consultation as the annual budgets are developed. Traditionally, the public have only been provided with an opportunity to review the budget as a last step in the process. The public are now being provided more opportunities for input at earlier stages in the process.
