Budget 2012

City Council and staff have been working on the 2012 budget since September 2011. In light of the ongoing sluggish economy, Council gave direction to staff to target a 0.0% increase in 2012. Kelowna City Manager, Mr. Mattiussi, delivered this in his draft budget. In a year where the national consumer price index rose 2.91% it is a challenge to keep the budget from increasing. Approximately $3 million dollars in cuts had to be found. Secondly, Council did not want to make service cuts. Through collaboration and teamwork, the goal was achieved.
