The 2025 city budget draft is now available for public feedback, with council and staff stressing to residents their input is needed.
The 2025 city budget proposes a seven per cent property tax increase with three per cent going to the Revelstoke Forum rehabilitation fund, a 10 per cent increase for garbage rates and a five per cent increase for water user rates within the main city area and the Big Eddy.
In a Nov. 7 Committee of the Whole meeting, the proposed 2025 budget was presented to council with notes that many of the increases would be needed to continue with larger capital projects while keeping the city from acquiring too much debt.
Public engagement sessions will be held Thursday, Nov. 28, 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Revelstoke Community Centre in the MP1 room. Residents can also reach out to staff and council through the Talk Revelstoke site or by emailing [email protected].
“I would appreciate everyone who wants to to write in,” Coun. Aaron Orlando said.
