The People and Culture (P&C) division partners across the organization to provide human resources strategies and programs that help build a municipality that provides efficient municipal service delivery and a motivated, adaptable, and fiscally responsible workforce which promotes customer service excellence.

As a core service to all departments, a portion of P&C expenses are allocated to divisions whose operating costs can be partially recovered from other funding sources.

Highlights

The 2025 requested level of funding includes approved salary and benefit increases including the annualized cost of positions approved in the 2024 budget, as well as increased corporate-wide training to support succession planning. The People and Culture Division has requested new staff positions not included in the budget. These requests can be found in Section 4 Staffing Requests not included in the Draft 2025 Budget.

Interactive Budget

Explore the City's budget using the interactive OpenBook feature, including expenses by department and division as well as a breakdown of what a typical residential property taxpayer pays per $100,000 of assessment.

The full budget information is available in the Draft 2025 Budget book.

The OpenBook budget tool enhances the transparency of the City's Budget by allowing us to share financial information visually in accessible and easy to understand formats. View our budget data using charts, tables, and graphs. We hope you find this helpful.

Through our OpenBook reports, you can start at the organizational level then click on a department to go down to the division/section/service level as you explore the financial information for the City. Flip between charts, tables and graphs to display the data in a way that visualizes the information based on your preference.

In OpenBook tables, all column headers labeled as "Current Year" refer to 2025; "Previous Year" refers to 2024.

Please note: The 2025 Budget is the first year that the City has used this budget tool to enhance how it shares information with residents. We're learning how to use the new platform and will be adding features and reports as we explore the tool's capabilities.
