Here is the schedule for developing the 2019 budget. The first public consultation is Feb. 12 at the Municipal Office at 7PM. As reviewed in an earlier post and report the draft budget and business plan will be tabled at the Feb. 11 Council meeting.  This report also reviews that a budget and business plan for the full term of Council will be prepared.  The latter will be valuable in terms of planning.  The schedule for doing the budget is deliberately later than previous year given the new Council.  I am sure that for 2020 and beyond we will return to completing the process by late January at latest as that is worthwhile in terms of getting better prices for capital projects.
