A staff report to Vernon council stated there were several 2024 year end reserve transfers that needed to be finalized.

• $327,000 from the Salary Reserve to fund the shortfall in the Fire Rescue Services Division budget due to retroactive wage settlements

  $290,624 from the Hotel Tax reserve to fund additional expenditures in the Tourism budget

• $91,613.50 remaining from providing temporary firefighter staff at Station 3 (Predator Ridge) from the Extreme Wildfire Reserve to the Fire Rescue Services operating budget
• $48,451 of ineligible FireSmart and wildfire project funding to the Extreme Wildfire Reserve

Council will also be asked to authorize the budget overspend connected with a change in the accounting standard in the Planning and Community Services Division.

Council will receive the report and the recommendations to transfer the funds and authorize the overspend at the regular meeting Monday, March 24.
