Service Excellence Performance Dashboard
A sound governance structure of internal and external reporting is imperative to the City’s success in achieving this four-year plan. So is a framework that ensures accountability through regular monitoring and reporting of results based on the Objectives, Key Activities, Results (OKR) methodology.
2014-2018 Service Excellence Strategic Plan
The Plan aligned the City’s budget with the priorities and goals of the strategic plan while keeping the tax rate in line with targets set by Council.
Operating budget
The budget is a very detailed process that incorporates the annual budget, from which the annual tax rate is established, plus three forecasted years. The operating budget incorporates financial information on all approved and legislated municipal initiatives, programs and services, including their associated funding requirements. The approved budget is a result of an extensive and exhaustive approval process, which requires departments, SMT, and ultimately Council approval.
Long-Range Fiscal Plan (LRFP)
The Long-Range Fiscal Plan (LRFP) does not replace the annual budget process but compliments it by providing a longer-term view.
