Operating budget
Our operating budget covers spending related to the day-to-day operations of City departments. These daily expenses help to keep our streets and homes safe, and ensure that we have clean water running through the taps, garbage and recycling trucks on the road, and recreational and cultural facilities open for the public. Typical examples of operating expenses are:
- employee salaries and wages
- supplies, materials, and equipment
- property, liability and vehicle insurance
- maintenance
Capital budget
The City's capital budgets fund larger, long-term projects, mostly related to maintaining, upgrading, and replacing the City's infrastructure and facilities. It's important to make long-term plans for scheduled maintenance and replacement of these valuable, tangible capital assets (TCAs) to ensure they are in place to deliver services. The capital budget works to advance Council’s 2019-2023 strategic plan within our long-term financial capacity.
