While the population has not increased significantly over the last census period, the Municipality has been preparing for significant growth as a result of business development in the area. A strategic planning process began last fall, and these are the results of that process.

The Economic Development Strategic Plan is intended to be a document to guide Council and Staff to leverage current opportunities to create sustainable, responsible, economic development.

The Corporate Strategic Plan will be a guiding document that will identify key internal activities that the Municipality should undertake to ensure that services meet the needs of a growing community, in an efficient, modern and innovative manner.

d.
Compliance with Ontario Regulation 284/09, Treasury-2020-28

1.Compliance with Ontario Regulation 284_09 - Treasury-2020-28.pdf

Added to the Agenda after Public Notice Provided

The Municipality of Kincardine is required under Ontario Regulation 284/09 to report on amortization, post-employment benefits and solid waste landfill closures and post-closure expenses that are excluded from the annual budget. For 2020, expenditures of ~ $6.3 million have been excluded from the budget.

The Municipality is required to follow the accounting standards established by the Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB). With the introduction of tangible capital asset accounting in 2009, the new accounting standards do not require budgets to be prepared on a full accrual basis. The Municipality continues to prepare budgets on a modified accrual basis.

A key outcome of the annual budget is a tax rate which Council approves. This tax rate is based on annual cash requirements and therefore does not include the PSAB requirements around accrual accounting and accounting for non-financial assets and liabilities
