Consultation has concluded

The 2023 Frontenac County budget process is now complete.

Our budget is the financial expression of the priorities of our organization. Respect for the taxpayer is of major importance in budget development for the County of Frontenac. Your input is welcome and is critically important to the budgeting process.

This budget relates only to work overseen by Frontenac County Council:

  1. Frontenac Paramedics
  2. Fairmount Home
  3. Planning and Development
  4. Economic Development including the Frontenac K&P Trail

Our budget is based on the following principles:

  • Transparency: Business plans, budget planning, and budgets are discussed and approved in open meetings of Frontenac County Council except as permitted according to the Municipal Act.
  • Fiduciary responsibility: Council and staff develop and approve budgets that balance the short- and long-term needs of the County and its citizens. Achieving this difficult balance requires that we make best estimates, predict most likely scenarios, and evaluate apparent risks.
  • Accountability: Council is ultimately accountable, within legislated limits, for the approval of business plans, budget policy, and budgets. In particular, Council is responsible to evaluate and establish service levels.
  • Alignment: Projects that support and align with the strategic priorities set by Council, or as required in legislation, receive the highest priority for Council consideration.
  • Citizen Input: Citizen input on matters including but not limited to strategic planning, business planning, budget development, and service level changes is welcome throughout the budgeting process.
