Budget
Every time your street is plowed, your garbage or recycling bin is collected, you visit a park or arena, or your streetlights turn on, you are witnessing your tax dollars at work. Municipal budget decisions set the funding for important infrastructure, programs, services, and facilities we depend on to maintain our quality of life.
The Finance Department's primary responsibility is to manage the financial resources of the municipality in an accountable and fiscally trustworthy manner that is legislatively compliant with provincial and federal policy decisions and statutes.
The Huron East budget is prepared on an annual basis and is made up of the following:
Operating
The revenue in this budget is primarily from property taxes and user fees. The budget covers the daily expenses for municipal services and programs. Some examples are road maintenance and repairs, snow removal, community services and programming, by-law enforcement, and fire and police services.
Capital
The revenue in this budget can be from property taxes, reserves, development charges, debt, grants and co-share with others, such as the county or developers. The capital budget provides for the construction of new assets or rehabilitates existing ones, including roads, sewers, watermains, bridges, fleet replacements and more.
