Your Opinion Matters in Morinville

The budget is the plan for how tax dollars and other funding will be invested to provide the services residents count on, as well as plan future capital investment.

We want to build a budget that meets your needs while balancing what’s actually possible given the current economic realities and pandemic recovery.

During the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic downturn Council minimized property tax increases in recognition of the financial challenges residents were faced with. This, coupled with rising costs, resulted in consecutive budgets that included tax supported operating deficits – budgets that did not include enough revenue to support general operations. This required utility surpluses, funds intended to build town savings for future capital replacement and investment, to be used to cover the deficits.

To add to these challenges, the high rate of inflation means that that cost of the same services provided last year are increasing as much as 7%, and as such revenue must keep pace with those increases in order to avoid service level reductions.

This budget will be about trade-offs, Morinville Council need to know what is important to you! Your feedback will be shared with Council to inform their decision making
