The MODL is working to prepare its annual budget for the upcoming year but before they do that they want the public to have their say. Once again the MODL is putting on their Your Government, Your Ideas engagement campaign.
Each year, Council selects a short list of projects to focus on, based on information received from residents, community groups, provincial and federal government, and staff. After much discussion, Council approves the Municipality’s strategic priorities for the next 18 months, then work with staff to pass a budget in the spring based on these priorities.
Two in-person events are scheduled for Thursday, October 14, at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., at the Municipal Services Building in Cookville. Each event will include a presentation from the Mayor, a Q&A session, and an opportunity for attendees to speak with staff experts on projects like MODL2040 and the Climate Change Action Plan.
Anyone wishing to attend the sessions will be required to provide proof of vaccination.
“Your Government, Your Ideas is an opportunity for residents to learn more about the Municipality’s accomplishments and plans for the upcoming year, as well to ask questions and provide us with their thoughts on various issues,” says Mayor Carolyn Bolivar-Getson. “I encourage residents to spend a few minutes to give us their thoughts online or join us at one of the meetings.”
