The 2020 Tax Rates Bylaw was adopted which sets the rates for Municipal, Regional District and Hospital purposes.

Council adopted the City of Kimberley Parcel Tax Imposition Bylaw that reduces the Aquatic Centre Parcel Tax to $195.91 from the 2019 levy of $198.36, representing a $2.45 reduction for taxpayers in 2020.
The 2019 Consolidated Financial Statements were accepted and approved.
