With City Budget feedback period now underway, Proposed 5 year Financial plan now available for review

With Prince Rupert City Council members taking the pulse of the community this month on the topic of the 2020 Prince Rupert Budget Process, a key element of the information for the public to review has now been released.

That as the City of Prince Rupert's Financial office presents the 2020-24 Proposed 5 year Financial Plan Document which is now available.

In the information release accompanying the document, the city made note as to what residents can find from the plan.

"The document is intended to provide greater public understanding of the financial priorities, policies, constraints, as well as overall financial environment within which the City operates. 

It additionally lays out the 5-year financial plan for the period between 2020-2024, identifying current and projected revenues, capital and operating expenditures, current property tax rates, information on municipal funds such as utilities, as well as the list of current property tax exemptions."

You can review the Financial Plan Document here.

The document includes messages from Mayor Lee Brain, City Manager Robert Long and the City's Chief Financial Officer Corinne Bomben.



City residents will have two opportunities to provide in person feedback for Council members, with the public comment periods to be made available at the March 9th and 23rd Council sessions to be held at Prince Rupert City Hall.


Residents of Prince Rupert can also participate in the ongoing Public survey project that the City has introduced through their Rupert Talks platform.

You can access that survey here.

Some of the material found in the  Proposed 5 year plan was delivered by Ms. Bomben at the February 23rd Council session, you can review those themes from our item here.
