• Bill, collect and process all the Utility accounts payments.
• Payroll for TNRD employees and Directors.
• Process and pay all incoming invoices.
• Bill and collect accounts receivable for services provided by the Regional District.

Financial Plans

---

The Local Government Act states that "a regional district must have a financial plan that is adopted annually, by bylaw, by March 31. The planning period for a financial plan is 5 years, that period being the year in which the plan is specified to come into force and the following 4 years."

The preparation of the financial plan begins in the fall of each year and a provisional financial plan is presented to the Board of Directors at that time. The financial plan incorporates requests from Directors and service committees, any new services as well as staff estimates of funding amounts required to maintain current service levels. The final Financial Plan is then presented in March and adopted before the deadline of March 31.

The finance department conducts public budget consultation in conjunction with other service related meetings throughout the year at various locations in the Regional District.

The Regional District encourages input from taxpayers from either the electoral areas or the member municipalities on the Financial Plan. You will find an input form under Documents & Forms on the left with instructions for submitting.
