City Council will consider an adjusted Budget for 2021 Wednesday and Thursday. Administration has proposed ways to absorb costs related to the pandemic without any increase to the previously approved property tax rate.

The City’s first Multi-Year Business Plan and Budget, which included the Operating and Capital plan for this year and next, was approved by Council a year ago. The 2021 property tax rate of 3.87 per cent was set by Council at that time.
As part of the new two-year budget cycle, Council can revisit the prior approved budget in the second year to adjust to any unanticipated factors of significant impact.
