Vernon residents have just over one week to provide their two cents on the City budget. The interactive budget simulator takes about 10 minutes to complete and will help Council and administration understand the public’s priorities on various services provided by the City. The survey closes on October 14.
The Vernon Citizen Budget includes charts, links and background information on various services to help guide participants throughout the consultation. The process allows residents to see what Council considers when deliberating on the budget and provide their own thoughts and priorities. Input from participants will be reviewed by Mayor and Council as part of their budget discussions and decisions.
Every completed survey with a valid email address is automatically entered into a prize draw. Participants could win one of five Vernon Recreation Centre passes or one of 10 gift cards.
In addition to the Citizen Budget, Vernon residents will have the opportunity to provide input on the draft budget at public meetings to be held in December.
