What is the Financial Health of the Municipality? The municipality is in good financial health, as suggested by the following financial indicators: No debt! Pay-as-you-go policy. Financial reserves. Low cost of operations. It is prudent to maintain financial reserves at a minimum of 25% of the annual budget.
Financial Health Reserve Balances (31-12-2009) Operating Reserve $ 77,938 Capital Reserve $338,965 $416,903 Reserves should be minimum 25% of the annual budget to maintain Financial Health; that is, a minimum of $241,727. Much of reserve balance is earmarked for 2011 2013 projects. The purpose of setting aside reserves is to provide funding for various anticipated future capital expenditures in order to ensure sufficient funds are available when required to avoid the need to incur debt.
Future Budgets & Tax Changes Predicting future tax changes is very difficult for a number of reasons: There are many variables involved including Provincial Government requirements and legislative changes. Many projections are based on other governing agency s projections. Small changes can make big differences in the final tax rates. Councils set budgets and tax rates yearly.
Legislative Requirements For the Budget Process The Community Charter requires the Financial Plan Bylaw to be adopted prior to the Annual Tax Rate Bylaw. The Tax Rate Bylaw must be adopted by May 15 th each year.
