Financial Policies

By establishing guidelines and parameters that Council and staff must follow when making financial decisions, the policies below serve to ensure that core services are maintained and that Council's vision for the community is furthered. Additionally, these policies offer a level of assurance to tax-payers that their dollars are being spent in a transparent, legal, efficient, and effective manner that also seeks to provide insulation against fiscal crises or economic downturns.

Note: Staff makes every effort to update the policies above as they are revised and adopted by Council, but please confirm with the Finance Department that you are consulting the current policy before taking any actions based on the information published here.
