It should be noted that the Budget Process has a very thorough review process and the proposed 2010 budget will consist of many decisions resulting from a variety of review sessions. Illustrated below are the various layers of review that occur within Vaughan’s budget process.

As part of the process, staff will diligently undertake various tasks to analyze the operating budget to ensure conformity with the approved operating budget guidelines. Examples include analyzing submissions for budget & business planning guideline and corporate policy compliance, major department increases, specific expenditure types, historical spending trends, department user fee recovery ratios, tax rate implications, overall budget reasonability, adhoc requests, etc.
