View the 2013-2017 Financial Plan
The City completes a five year financial plan, which is updated every year, to ensure responsible money management that relates directly to the priorites identified by the community.
The Budget Officer and the Finance Division of Corporate Services coordinates the City’s five-year Financial Plan process, analyzes department budget information, prepares non-departmental revenue estimates, assembles the budget document and provides overview, financial monitoring, and reporting once the budget is adopted. The Budget Officer assists department heads in identifying budget problems and formulating solutions.
