The following service level changes are being implemented as administration adjusts is operations as part of Budget 2025.
The most significant service level changes are occurring in the areas of parks and public works. The City manages over 4,500 acres of parkland, and like many communities, we’re adjusting how we care for these spaces in response to budget constraints. These changes help us focus on core services, while also laying the groundwork for more sustainable parks in the future.
Update – June 9, 2025: Over the weekend, you may have noticed The City has increased mowing in some areas of the city. We have done this in response to community feedback and changing seasonal conditions. While continuing to operate within the Council-approved reduced 2025 budget, we are reallocating existing funds to support additional mowing in priority, high-visibility areas. Overall service levels remain reduced in line with the approved budget, but targeted adjustments are being made to be responsive to community need.
