2007 Budget
The 2007 Budget Page will contain all budget documents considered by Council
during deliberation of the 2007 Budget. Where approvals or direction are
given on the budget, those decisions will also be noted. The Budget
process is public and Council encourages residents to comment on the budget.
The main forum for Public Comment is the Public Meeting that Council must hold
for the Budget. In addition to the Public Meeting, residents can contact a
Councillor, submit a written
comment or email your comments to
2007budget@twp.ezt.on.ca.
