CHAMBER'S
2006 CITY OF WINDSOR BUDGET PRESENTATION
February
20, 2006 - The Windsor & District Chamber of Commerce
made a presentation to City Council addressing the City's
2006 Budget. The Chamber applauded the effort by the Mayor,
City Council and Administration on improvements made to
the process and on delivering a fiscally prudent budget.
In
its presentation, the Chamber noted the lack of additional
financial information in the Budget documents, including
more current information on the actual departmental performance,
improved property assessment information and the need for
longer term budgetary forecasting.
The
Chamber also singled out Post-Retirement Benefits liability
as a significant budgetary pressure in the near future.
To improve business retention the Chamber stated the need
for the City to become more competitive in attracting investment
and the jobs that come with economic development. To obtain
a copy of the Chamber's submission click on the link below
or call Igor Siljanoski at 966-3696 ext. 28.
