This marks the first time that the City of Winnipeg has prepared a four-year balanced budget. Multi-year budgeting better equips the City to meet its fiscal and service challenges, by looking long-term. It is considered a best practice by the Government Finance Officers Association and has been embraced by several Canadian municipalities. The City of Winnipeg Charter requires Council to adopt operating and capital budgets annually, which provides Council the opportunity to make adjustments to the budgets each year as part of an annual review process. Multi-year budgeting helps the City balance service needs and fiscal stability while developing a plan to support investments in the infrastructure and services required supporting sustainable growth in our community in the years ahead. The balanced four-year budget prioritizes strategic investments in key public service areas such as roads, community safety, transit, fire paramedic services, and support for Winnipeg’s urban forest. These priorities reflect the City’s long-term vision, as expressed in its ongoing strategic planning initiatives including OurWinnipeg. The public service looked at long-term financial challenges of each City department and proposed options for meeting the budget targets set out by the Executive Policy Committee of Council. These options were presented publicly to members of the Standing Policy Committees of Council and the Winnipeg Police Board, where members of the public could also provide their feedback on proposed options for meeting budget targets. After four weeks of meetings, each Standing Policy Committee and the Winnipeg Police Board provided their final recommendations on direction for departmental budgets to Executive Policy Committee. The preliminary operating and capital budgets were presented by Executive Policy Committee in March 2020. v In this budget process, the Public Service worked with City Council to ensure continued fiscal stability – confronting and dealing with initial four-year operating deficits totaling $542 million. There were three elements that brought the budgets into a balanced position: • stringent expenditure controls, • capped capital investments, and
