Oak Bay, BC Citizen Budget Portal Residents Input
Complete
Citizen Budget was an interactive tool that allowed residents to adjust program funding for the 2018-2019 budget. This tool incorporated sliders that helped users add, subtract, or hold steady on budget items. Each adjustment led to a recalculation of the resident's property tax. Participants in this two-week pilot submitted their budget suggestions through the website. City officials also sought feedback on usability to improve future iterations.
