So, what informs the budget? A budget isn’t started with a blank page.
Council has established policies, priorities and service levels that guide Administration’s recommendations for the proposed budget. Morinville Administration presents the proposed budget to Council, and then Council deliberates on the proposed budget.

Each year, Morinville Council approves a budget to fund the services you count on every day. For example, roads and infrastructure, emergency services, snow clearing, Parks and Recreation and community programs.
The approved levy is then distributed across all taxable properties in Morinville.
