The City of Vernon has set the timeline for putting together its 2014 budget. Mayor Rob Sawatzky tells Kiss FM, it's a time consuming process, strung out over several months. "I don't think everyone realizes what a long process it is. They
think you meet for a couple of hours and determine the budget. That's
not the way that it works,"says Sawatzky who has gone through a couple
of budget cycles since being elected mayor in 2011. Each city department will start working on its budgets this week, which will be presented to council in December. A special meeting of council will be held September 26 from noon to
6pm to discuss the financial plan process at the Vernon Performing Arts
Centre in the Marie Fleming Hall
which is open to the public. Council and senior staff will hold all day detailed budget
discussions next January 15-17 (also open to public) before finalizing
the document in the new year.
