The 2023/24 Budget is Regina’s first multi-year budget. The multi-year budgeting approach supports longer-term budget planning to strengthen City programs and advance strategic priorities, which include economic prosperity, community safety & well-being, environmental sustainability, operational excellence, and creating a vibrant community.
An explanation of the cost to maintain current City services (status quo).
An overview of how new potential investments support the City’s strategic priorities
An explanation of 2023-24 Budget risks
Quick summary:
The City of Regina provides more than 60 types of services; property taxes fund more than 50 per cent of these
To maintain current City services (status quo budget) the City estimates it will require $4.9 million in 2023 (a 1.73 mill rate increase) and an additional $5.4 million in 2024 (1.88 mill rate increase.)
New potential investments to support the City’s five strategic priorities (totaling $5.5 million over the next two years) such as:
Sidewalk rehabilitation
Community Safety & Well-being Service System
Winter City Strategy
Accessible Taxi Service Improvements
Community Building Retrofit Grant Program
Adapted Recreation Plan
The City recommends that any new capital investments related to the strategic priorities ($30 million over 2023 and 2024) be paid for through a combination of grants, reserve funding, deferring projects to a later year, and mill rate increases.
To maintain status quo with Regina’s Utility Budget, fund upgrades at the Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Plant, and implement the water utility rebate program for low-income seniors and people with disabilities, a 4.5 per cent increase is required for 2023, followed by a 4 per cent increase in 2024.
Engagement Opportunities
In the spring, we invited residents to help build a budget that strengthens our community now and in the future through our Shape the City’s 2023-24 Budget Survey. Approximately 1,600 residents participated in the survey.
Now that the preliminary Budget Development Update has been presented, this is your chance to provide feedback.
