What Will Your City Look Like in 2030? 🏙️

Council is about to make huge decisions that will shape our community for the next 5 years! 💰

From your tax bill to park upgrades to road repairs - it all gets decided in the 2026-2030 Financial Plan.

The big question: What direction should staff take when planning how YOUR tax dollars get spent? 🤔

  • 💰 Sets tax rates for residents and businesses

  • 🚌 Plans transit, roads, and infrastructure spending

  • 🏊 Decides on recreation facilities and programs

  • 🏘️ Shapes housing and development policies

  • 🚨 Allocates funds for police, fire, and emergency services

  • 🌳 Budgets for parks, environmental initiatives

  • 📚 Plans library, community center investments

  • 💵 Your property taxes through 2030

  • 🚗 Which roads get fixed and when

  • 🏀 New recreation facilities vs maintaining current ones

  • 🏠 How much growth and development to allow

  • 🚑 Emergency service response times and coverage

  • 🌱 Climate action and environmental protection funding

What should be the TOP priority for our city's spending over the next 5 years - keeping taxes low, investing in infrastructure upgrades, or expanding services?
