The City of Penticton is preparing for its annual budget and is inviting residents to take part in the 2016 planning.
“The City’s budget is a massive undertaking, but is a great way to learn about how the municipality serves residents, embraces innovation and sustains our vibrant community,” said Mayor Andrew Jakubeit. “Citizens are welcome to be part of the process, as their input helps Council with the important decisions to come.”
The format of the budget will be changing this year to condense down discussions. The Capital Budget will be presented first, with a session on Monday, November 30th at 1:00 p.m. The Operating Budget will be addressed during a separate presentation in December, with details to come.
The annual budget deliberations cover a wide range of areas including spending decisions in both operating and capital budgets. Time will be set aside during the meetings to take public feedback and input about the budget.
Those whose schedules don’t permit daytime meetings can also take part. All budget meetings will be streamed live on the City of Penticton’s website: www.penticton.ca/live-video. All meetings are scheduled to take place in Council Chambers in City Hall. Once available, presentations will be posted online.
