Trends
The budget for Mayor and Council has remained relatively flat for the past couple of years. Programs and initiatives approved by the Mayor and Council usually have an impact in the designated department’s budget rather than having a direct impact to the Mayor and Council’s budget. Per regular budgetary practice, the budget for each of the Wards remain equal for Fiscal Year 2022/23.
