South Frontenac Township Seeking Public Input into 2025 Budget

South Frontenac Township has started to prepare their 2025 budget and is asking residents to take a short survey to share their input. Residents can take the short survey at surveymonkey.com/r/SF2025Budget by October 11, 2024.

“We want to hear what the people in our growing community have to say about our services and what they feel will impact our community the most,” says Arundhati Mohile, Director of Corporate Services and Treasurer. 

For example, the survey will ask residents whether they would like to see a reasonable increase to enhance services, increase taxes only enough to maintain current services, or cut services to reduce or maintain the current tax rate. The Township’s 2024 budget resulted in a tax increase of 2.74%, an average household increase of $47.04 a year.

In this year’s survey, we ask residents to provide information about the number of people in their household, and the ages of the people in the household. This will help us compare the answers of residents of different age groups, and with and without children in the home. Answers will create a more detailed picture of the needs of our community.  

“We need residents to weigh in on what is important to them,” says Mayor Ron Vandewal. “The results from this survey will help us understand what our key priorities should be and how to shape our community for the future.”

Residents can learn more and sign up to receive updates on this year’s budget process on the EngageFrontenac.ca project page.
