Budget planning is a priority for the City of Powell River as it begins public engagement on its draft five-year financial plan.
The city presented the draft budget to council on Dec. 3 during a special council meeting and said it marks the first step in a longer review process.
“This first draft is a starting point for budget discussions, and council is seeking community input at this stage of the process,” the city said.
Residents will have two opportunities to review the plan and provide feedback, beginning Jan. 29 with an open house, followed by an online survey.
The city said feedback collected through the survey and open house will be shared with council to help guide decisions on how public funds are allocated.
The open house will take place Jan. 29 from 4 to 7 p.m.
