Budget Comments and Council Consideration
Council encourages public consultations during the budget creation process. The purpose of the consultation is to ensure public input, in advisory nature, is heard prior to Council deliberating the budgets. Public comments obtained during the consultation period are incorporated as an appendix within the Staff Report presented to Council during the respective budget meetings. Comment deadlines and meeting dates will be updated on this page for each upcoming budget season.
Submit your comments to consultations@bayham.on.ca.
