Council calls Special Regular Meeting for Monday, with Financial Plan and Property Tax bylaws the focus



Prince Rupert City Council is putting their recent discussion on the 2022 Financial Plan and Property Tax Bylaw to fast forward, with a Special City Council Session called to provide First, Second and Third Readings for the two Budget related bylaws.

The details of the Special Regular Meeting to take place on Monday at 5 PM were posted to the City website earlier today.


As we outlined on Thursday, as part of their review on Monday evening, the council members accepted the recommendation from Chief Financial Officer Corrine Bomben of a 3.63 per cent tax hike for 2022.  That after a wide ranging discussion of the city's financials and how the current council has approached financial management this past year.

However, those who missed Monday's Council streamcast, may not have opportunity to review those taking points and discussion themes prior to the Monday session. 

So far as of this afternoon, the video archive for that Monday evening session, has yet to be delivered to the City's Council Meeting Archive on YouTube.

Update: The City has updated their Video archive, adding the Monday Council session to their YouTube selection as of late Friday afternoon.

Ms. Bomben's presentation on the Budget opened up the evening's work, while the Budget Discussion and focus on Legacy Inc and Watson Island  can be reviewed below starting at the forty five  minute mark.

The details related to the Property tax bylaw and Five Year financial plan can be reviewed here.
