Building Your Municipal Budget

In the Budget Workbook, the Administration team proposes a yearly financial plan for Council consideration. In order to provide context and juxtaposition, the figures are presented alongside the previous year’s approved budget. Municipal Council then deliberates and has the opportunity to request changes based on priorities and plans. This budget building process supports the Municipality’s approach to collective fiscal responsibility. To learn about the municipal budgeting process, see the West Nipissing Budget Handbook (pdf).

Once the final Budget is approved, the Administration and Operation teams can move forward with effective service delivery and management of assets. The teams manage human resources efficiently and work closely with service partners within the district in an effort to best serve the community.

The Municipality’s goal is to maintain service levels while offering value for residents and ratepayers.
