Directors will be sent new budget sheets reflecting changes. First reading of a budget bylaw will come before directors on January 22nd. If approve public consultation throughout the region will be held. Those meetings the week of January 26th and continuing through February.

Feedback from those meetings will be incorporated into the budget  which will be brought back for adoption.

Staff at RDOS quick to point out that nothing is final in budget matters until the adoption of the financial bylaw in the coming months.
