What Would You Like To See In Budget?

May 4, 2018 | 4:00 PM

It’s still early in 2018, but the City of Vernon is already thinking about its 2019 budget.

The City has issued a release, encouraging residents to “get inter-active with Vernon’s budget allocator.”

It’s part of the 2019 budget consultation which people can use to help City council and administration understand the public’s priorities on various services provided by the City.

Communications officer Nick Nilsen says the survey is open until May 27.

“It’s easy to participate and it is informative,” says Nilsen. “Simply go to www.EngageVernon.ca, click on the Vernon Budget 2019 tile, and sign up to provide your input. Then, try the Budget Allocator to show us how you would like to see the budget built.”

The 2019 budget consultation includes videos, links and background information on various services to help guide participants throughout the consultation.

The Budget Allocator allows residents to provide their own thoughts and priorities on the budget.

Input from participants will be reviewed by Mayor and Council as part of their budget discussions and decisions.
