Public Engagement

This report outlines the 2021 Budget Process for City Council, along with the timelines for the development of the operating and capital budgets. One of the key elements of this process is continuous communication between citizens, elected officials and administration. Citizen participation in the budget process provides the public with an opportunity to be part of the decision making process that influences the allocation of limited public resources.
