The council adopts the 2025-2028 multi-year budget and the first 2025 budget amendment.

The 2025-2028 multi-year budget builds on the 2025-2028 Framework Memorandum. In addition, autonomous developments have been calculated and the college proposes budget adjustments. Changes in laws and regulations sometimes necessitate additional financial resources.

• consult with other municipalities within the MRE on procurement of alternative deployment methods for youth care;
• jointly with other municipalities within the MRE to clearly signal to the State that municipalities want more autonomy over the Health they want to offer;

• share this motion with all municipalities within the MRE.

• involve a recognized consulting firm with experience in analyses of swimming pool operations in the preparation of this business plan;

The council asks the college:
