The 2014 City Budget deliberations enters it’s biggest phase today as the General Managers for the six departments present their introductory overviews to Council.
While no decisions are being made today, the tone of the coming months will be set. There will be a presentation on how tax appeals are cutting assessments and revenue, and an update on growth in the downtown core and how that is helping revenues.
