Budget & Financial Statements
RM of Sherwood Annual Budget
The Municipalities Act requires Rural Municipalities to prepare and adopt a budget on an annual basis.
The budget process has two components. One involves the routine maintenance and operations of the municipality (the operating budget) and the other deals with capital planning (the capital budget).
Development of a budget is beneficial because:
- A budget identifies priorities as determined by council;
- A budget is a tool to communicate those priorities to the public and to staff; and,
- A budget assists with determining whether existing financial resources are sufficient to meet municipal spending needs.
