A seemingly simple procedural item around the 2024 Osoyoos budget turned into finger pointing which then gave way to a degree of confusion during the Feb. 27 regular council meeting.
Osoyoos’ elected officials effectively pruned nearly $11 million from the 2024 budget during a special open meeting held at Sonora Community Centre on Feb. 15, mostly through deferring and reallocating budget items to 2025 rather than outright cutting.
Oliver town council is deep in discussions about the five year financial plan raising tough questions about whether to take on debt, tax rates and where they can trim costs.
