The process of determining Burlington’s 2020 budget is currently underway. And, according to a recent press release from the city, during the process, choices will be made to ensure that services provided to residents align with the priorities in Burlington’s 2018-2022 strategic work plan, From Vision to Focus.
One may think that when it comes to developing a budget, city officials are the only people who have a say. However, that is not the case.
The city is also looking for feedback from residents to learn about how municipal services are valued, and which ones are a priority for residents.
Residents can share their thoughts by completing an online survey which will be available until Sept. 20, 2019.
All feedback will be shared with city council.
