What things are considered when establishing tax levels? |
Staff and Council know that tax dollars are limited, despite a multitude of service, program, and infrastructure requests. Mayor and Council and many city staff are tax paying residents too. To ensure wise spending, Council establishes Strategic Priorities which set goals for the municipality. The budget process also takes into consideration such factors as affordability, assessment values, inflation, population and construction growth, recommendations from master plans, asset management and requests for services. |
