Coldstream's 2009 Provisional Budget.

Coldstream's 2009 Provisional Budget approved by Council.







Last night (November 24, 2008) Council gave final approval of the 2009 Provisional Budget.

Council and the Director of Finance deserve commendation for keeping the proposed tax increases to 2.5% despite the expected reduction of tax revenues due to the closing of the Lavington glass plant.

The above excerpts are from the Open House presentation on November 19, 2008. It was an excellent presentation and was well worth attending. Unfortunately, attendance was very low. This summary is provided for those of you who missed it. Full version of the proposed budget is available at the Municipal Office.

About Me

My photo
I have been a resident of Coldstream since 1976. I have had 15 years of experience on Council, 3 years as Mayor. As a current Councillor I am working to achieve fair water and sewer rates and to ensure that taxpayers get fair treatment. The current direction regarding water supply is unsustainable and I am doing all I can to get the most cost effective water supply possible.
