Council announced the approval of the 2024-2026 budget during the regular Council meeting on December 11. The budget, totaling $82.8 million for municipal operations and $135 million for capital projects over three years, reflects a thoughtful balance between maintaining service levels, fostering sustainable growth, and acknowledging the economic challenges faced by residents.
To align with the approved budget, Council endorsed a municipal tax revenue increase of $1,275,000 (or 3.63%) to meet the financial demands.
