This Financial Plan provides detailed funding requirements over the next five years and also serves as: · A Policy Document, that outlines the financial policies that guide the development of the Plan as well as articulate financial priorities and issues; · An Operations Guide, that helps staff manage day-to-day operations by providing financial and policy information and by identifying financial and staffing resources available to provide services, and · A Communication Device, that gives all readers a comprehensive look at the services provided by the City and the costs related to those services. We have made several improvements over the last several years which as made this document more meaningful and easier to understand. Some of these improvements include: · Summarized corporate overview of all operating and capital budgets that provides a snapshot of the City’s financial position. This overview closely aligns with the City’s Financial Statements and complies with PSAB requirements; · Separation of the Surplus/Deficit figures from the total revenues and total expenditures to show more clearly the source of funds used to balance the budget; · Closer alignment of Departmental Initiatives with Corporate Goals and Objectives using measurable indicators and statistics; · Section explaining existing Corporate Policies as well as those the City plans to initiate in the upcoming year; · Detailed summary of our outstanding debt; · Schedule of Position counts throughout the organization on a departmental basis; · Brief highlight
