2020-2024 Financial Plan
Are you interested in learning about the city budgeting process? For the past several months, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Jim Hendricks has been presenting to council and the public on the 2020 – 2024 Financial Plan at several Special Meetings of Council. The 2020 – 2024 Financial Plan will be adopted in the spring of 2020. For the next several months, the city welcomes residents to review the presentations and provide input into the city’s budgeting process in many ways – by email, by attending a future Special Meeting of Council or by attending an Open House in early 2020 (dates to be determined). Please visit www.kimberley.ca/2020-2024-financial-plan for more information on the financial planning process and how you can provide your input.
Winter Snow Clearing
The city revisits the Snow and Ice Management Plan yearly in order to ensure continuous improvement of snow and ice clearing efforts. From time to time, this review may result in modifications to the way snow and ice is cleared from your area. If you have any questions regarding snow removal, please call the Operations Department at 250-427-9660.
Non-Residential Gap Analysis
The Economic Development Department, along with contractors FBM Architecture and MDB Insights, is conducting a Non-Residential Gap Analysis for the City of Kimberley. This analysis will help assess, identify and define retail and light industrial gaps and opportunities in the city. As a part of this study, the project team will be conducting a random telephone survey of 200 residents about shopping patterns and preferences in Kimberley as well as canvassing business owners and operators to gather input into the local market.
