Why take the budget survey?

Just as the Town is responsible for managing tax dollars carefully, residents are responsible for taking part in municipal processes. We create a healthier community when both sides participate.

What is the process?

• The new budget survey opens in June
• Resident feedback now goes to staff before they start preparing their budgets
• Survey results give staff and Council a clearer picture of what Lakers want in the 2024 budget
• Staff and Council use the survey results to help plan and budget

Why do we need more than just a few Lakers to help?

• For this process to work, we need as many residents as possible to submit their survey
• The less people submit a survey, the harder it is for us to know if that's what the majority of Lakers want

What's in the survey?

By completing the survey, residents get the chance to:

• Prioritize municipal services and amenities
• Tell us their preferred tax strategy
• Tell us what services they would increase or cut, based on their chosen tax strategy
• Submit ideas for cost-free revenue generation
• Give general feedback
