1st Draft of the 2025 Budget (Item 11c)
Council received report CSAS-FS-2024-17 dated October 15, 2024, and acknowledge receipt of the first draft of the 2025 budget, which forecasts an overall tax increase of 10.63% (7.72% = General Operations increase) + (2.91% = OPP invoice increase).

Road Condition Assessment - Report IS-PW-2024-18 (Item 11e)

Council discussed affordable housing to provide staff with a clearer understanding of its priorities on this important issue.
