Dec 14, 2008 Kelowna's new city council starts tackling the 2009 budget Monday, December 15. With four new councilors on board, Mayor Sharon Shepherd agrees there will be a steep learning curve, but she's told the newcomers they shouldn't be afraid to ask questions. Monday, city staff will publicly unveil their spending plans and revenue projections for the coming new year. They'll also project a proposed percentage-increase on property taxes to make the budget balance.
On January 7, council will go through big binders of documents page by page, setting the 2009 budget and trying to keep a lid on property tax increases.
