We are making changes! It's getting tougher out there financially and we are striving to do more with less. That process comes with some tough decision making, and we need your help.

  • We are asking for your feedback before staff begin preparing their budgets for 2024
  • Tell us what your priorities are by completing the resident priorities survey
  • Join Council at the Info Night Fun Fest to and tell us what you'd keep or kick to balance the budget

2. Building the 2024 draft budget (Town staff)

  • 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
  • Staff from each division and department prepare their changes: increases, decreases, savings, new projects, and staffing requests
  • Staff take this information and compile a document outlining the budget and changes

3. 2024 Draft budget deliberations (Town staff)

  • Directors, managers, and staff from each department present their draft budget requests and information to Council
  • Council asks questions, requests changes, and works with staff to ensure resident priorities are heard
  • Council approves a draft budget
