The annual budget focuses on the Township Vision Statement of Integrity, Teamwork, Continuous Improvement and Fiscal Responsibility.
The budget process begins each July with a Budget Visioning Meeting with all the members of Township Council, who form the Budget Advisory Committee.
In September-October the draft operational and capital budgets, as well as all the fees and charges are reviewed by Department Managers, the CAO, and the Treasurer; with the Fees and Charges By-law passing in November.
Further review of the draft operating and capital budgets are done, with the first draft of the operating budget being presented to the Budget Advisory Committee in November, and the first draft capital budget being presented to the Committee in December.
Once the Budget Advisory Committee has reviewed and is satisfied with the consolidated operations and capital budgets, they will recommend to Council to pass the Budget and Tax Rate By-law in January.
| Operating Budget |
| The operating budget provides for the day-to-day expenses of the Township, such as salaries and materials. |
| Capital Budget |
| The capital budget is a multi-year financial plan that provides for the construction or acquisition of capital works. The capital budget Includes future financial resources required to finance capital projects and identifies the financial resources to be allocated from the operating budget to operate and maintain capital assets. The capital budget is prepared at the same time as the operating budget, and approved by the Township Council at the same time. This is to ensure that any contributions from the operating budget to the capital budget are coordinated and understood and that the effect on the ratepayer is seen. In addition, a capital asset may be slated for completion in mid-year and require an operating budget provision to pay for utility costs, staffing, and other operating costs. |
