Budget Process has Room for Improvement

When it comes to the municipal budget process, West Kent councilor Melissa Harrigan says there’s room for improvement. 

As a new councilor, Harrigan says she learned a lot from her first budget process earlier this year.

“The feedback element of the budget for me was we saw the base budget at a high level and then really detailed what’s in addition to it,” Harrigan says. “I’m the kind of person that I would love to see a more detailed version of our base budget so we can look at opportunities for improvement in the base and what’s already happening. You can’t improve unless you do things differently.”

A motion has been passed that would see improvements like this outlined in a report.

Next year’s budget deliberations will also be live streamed online.
