September 26, 2024 - Public Notice of the Town of Perth 2025 Budget Schedule

The 2024 Budget was approved by the Council of the Town of Perth on Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2023.

The Town of Perth shall operate in a manner such that all expenditure of the Town's resources is approved, directly or indirectly, by Council. Further, all expenditure shall be made both in a fiscally responsible manner, such that the concept of finite and limited resources is respected, and in a fully informed manner, by way of proper and adequate notification of any significant deviation from Council's approved fiscal plans.

The primary mechanism for this is the approval of the Town of Perth's budget, within which operational details for the impending fiscal year are encapsulated. The primary goal of the policy is to allow for both expedient, proactive decision-making on the part of Staff, while retaining Council's full control over strategic spending decisions.
