RDKB staff will provide information regarding the legislative framework that regional districts must abide by, what overall regional services and what specific electoral area services are provided and how much taxpayers pay.

This will be an opportunity to comment on the 2014 budget for Area B residents, and an opportunity to let director Linda Worley know your views and what kind of local government services you want.
