General Business
Council approved carrying forward the budgets for 70 projects from the 2017 fiscal year to the 2018 fiscal year. Most of the $20 million in carry forwards represent multi-year capital projects, such as flood mitigation initiatives in Bragg Creek. These carry-forwards are funded, and do not draw from 2018 property taxes.
Under the Municipal Government Act, Council may add amounts to a parcel of land’s tax roll to cover the unpaid expenses and costs of an action or measure taken to remedy a contravention. Council approved three such actions:
