La Ville de Hawkesbury a tenu sa première consultation publique concernant le budget 2019. L’administration a présenté les défis et les questions à aborder au cours des procédures budgétaires, tandis que les membres de la communauté ont fait part de leurs réflexions sur la façon dont l’argent devrait être dépensé, ce qui comprenait principalement divers projets communautaires. Ce sera le nouveau conseil municipal entrant, dirigé par la mairesse élue Paula Assaly, qui prendra les décisions et rédigera le budget 2019. Les premières présentations budgétaires auront lieu les 13 et 14 décembre, au cours desquelles deux propositions de budget seront présentées au Conseil.

Hawkesbury has also made some significant infrastructure investments over the last couple of years and will have to continue investing to upgrade and replace old infrastructure. This is another budgetary matter to be addressed, through grants and other means. After the Town made its general pres- entation, community members took to the podium to share some of their priorities for the 2019 budget. Most of those who spoke out would like to see more investment towards community projects, such as youth projects, the beautification of the waterfront on Chenail Island, and reparations to the fence on Chenail Boulevard. Mayor Jeanne Charlebois would also like to see at least $5000 of the recreation budget allocated to funding a project, organized by the Town, giving youth the chance to put on talent shows and concerts for the community. This consultation was held with the goal of presenting a general report regarding the upcoming budget and to get a sense of the wants and needs of the community. It will, however, be the new incoming municipal council, headed by Mayor-elect Paula Assaly, that will be making the decisions and drafting the 2019 budget.
