CVRD 2024 Tax Increase 6%

“ The CVRD Committee of the Whole will meet on May 10/23 to consider a Finance Division 2024 Budget Direction Recommendation 

1) That it be recommended to the Board that Option 1 for a 6% increase to the Core Budget be set as the 2024 budget mandate

2) That it be recommended to the Board to exclude Transit Services, the Vancouver Island Regional Library Service and the new Regional Recreation Service from the budget mandate.”

I guess Transit, Library, and Recreation are all add-ons to this tax increase?
