VERNON, B.C. — City of Vernon administration is recommending a 6.38 percent tax increase for 2018.
Chief administrative officer Will Pearce outlined the proposed budget this morning, saying it focuses on public safety.
Pearce says the budget also deals with social challenges that are not unique to the city.
“Most municipalities of this size face challenging social demands. To solve them requires a commitment from all three levels of government,” said Pearce at Monday’s committee of the whole meeting.
