Comments Invited on RDCO 2021-2025 Financial Plan
The Regional District of Central Okanagan is preparing its 2021 – 2025 Financial Plan. There are several ways that residents may learn about and comment on the fiscal priorities outlined in the budget.
Unlike municipalities, the regional district does not have one tax rate. The RDCO has more than 80 individual services provided and paid for by different combinations of taxpayers across the Central Okanagan. Each service budget is separate and all assets, revenues, expenses, reserves, surpluses or deficits remain within the service.
The Regional Board determines how local services will be financed and has outlined its Strategic Priorities, providing direction on implementing this vision. Focus areas include:
- Environment
- Economic Development
- Sustainable Communities
- Transportation and Mobility
Presentations and information about the Financial Plan will be available at two upcoming meetings:
- Thursday, February 25 – 8:30 am
- Thursday, March 18 – 8:30 am
As public health orders currently do not allow in-person attendance at meetings, they will be livestreamed and recorded. Information on how to access these is available at rdco.com/agenda.
Comments and feedback about the Financial Plan may be provided by email or regular mail. Details and a link is available at rdco.com/budgets. That is also where Financial Plan information will be available throughout the budget process.
The Regional Board will give final consideration and adopt the 2021 – 2025 Financial Plan at its meeting Monday, March 29 at 7:00 pm.
