Quesnel, BC. – The City of Quesnel is looking for public input as it sets the stage for it’s budget deliberations.

 

The City will hold a public input session Monday Jan. 17, starting at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers at Quesnel City Hall for residents, business owners and operators, and industrial representatives to provide their ideas and suggestions.

 

 “City Council encourages the community to take advantage of this opportunity to share ideas with us,” said Mayor Mary Sjostrom. “Those views can make a difference when Council discusses important issues at budget time.”

 

“Public input is very important for Council to consider as we move through the budget process,” adds Councillor  Sushil Thapar, the City’s Finance Committee Chair. “We face challenges, but by consulting with the public we gain a greater understanding of our taxpayers’ wants and needs.”

 

The meeting will also include a high-level overview of the budget and a report on the recently conducted Citizen Satisfaction Survey.

 

Several other budget meetings have been scheduled, including:
