Port Alberni city council has already started the process for next year’s budget.
Council directed staff on Monday, Aug. 14 to draft the city’s 2018-2022 five-year financial plan following the same process and parameters as last year, with feedback from the public, including an online survey and e-town hall meeting, and roundtable discussions with staff members.
Most councillors agreed that they would like to see the budget process start a little earlier, and directed that the draft budget be brought forward in October.
