2021 Budget - Long-Term Financing (Debt)

Unless, of course, you saved an appropriate amount of money in anticipation of your annual holiday shopping.
The Municipality has several different reserves or “savings”, each one with a very specific purpose, so that we can afford things we need, or the community...
