2020 Budget
Each year, the City of Burlington undergoes an annual budget process to create budgets that support city operations and deliver the programs and services required to maintain the high quality of life we enjoy in our community.
Through the budget process, choices are made to ensure the City services provided to residents align with the priorities in Burlington’s 2018-2022 strategic work plan.
Work to determine the 2020 budget is underway.
2020 Budget Framework
On Monday, July 8, 2019, the 2020 Budget Framework report (F-28-19) was presented to Burlington City Council at a meeting of the Committee of the Whole. The report provides an understanding of the parameters upon which staff will prepare the 2020 Budget.
It highlights the budget drivers that impact the 2020 Budget and outlines the principles that have been recognized by Council as important policy decisions.
