Message from Mayor Don McCormickMay 26, 2025On behalf of your City Council, and the entire staff at the City of Kimberley, I am excited to present theCity of Kimberley’s 2024 Annual Report. Each year, the City juggles many competing priorities. When the budget is finalized, operations andcapital projects have survived a rigorous evaluation process with one goal in mind – to deliverresident-expected services within responsible spending of taxpayer dollars. Taxation is managedtransparently, with taxpayers knowing exactly where the money is being spent and why we ask formore. There is tremendous pressure to allocate money to areas that we do not control and are notcompensated for by senior governments, such as housing and health. Local government’s role is toprovide what we refer to as core services – water, sewer, roads, solid waste and recreation facilities. Photo credit: Meadowsweet PhotographyPage 6

Page 7

We manage:120 km of water infrastructure78 km of sewer infrastructure50 km of storm utilities79 km of paved roads18 km of unpaved roads…all of this inside our 61.6 square km boundaries. We do this with 81 full time employees which is roughlythe number we had 10 years ago. There are many areas outside of core services that impact life in Kimberley. Housing, healthcare, educationand community services are some examples. The City engages partners to facilitate these importantaspects of our community. We support them in this through community grants and permissive taxexemptions for our 50+ not-for-profits that total more than $800K per year; in-kind support including use ofCity facilities; collaboration with the Regional District of East Kootenay and other levels of government;supportive policies and bylaws; and more.This combination of core service work and support for various partners enables the City of Kimberley toprovide superior service levels through reasonable taxation.Inflation and infrastructure renewal are the primary factors in the 2025 tax increase, which equates to $201for the average single-family home valued at $572K. The major contributors (64% of the increase) are:$23.26 (12%) Inflation$65.91 (33%) Infrastructure Reserves $38.10 (19%) RCMP Inflation means that the cost of providing services has increased. If the City does not account for thisincrease, spending must be reduced which will impact service levels. All projects are fully funded for 2025 thanks to our healthy reserves and strong financial position. A hugethank you to management and staff for successfully navigating the fiscal challenges.The purpose of the Annual Report is to summarize the major activities and accomplishments that occurredthroughout the preceding year. It gives taxpayers, residents and other interested parties information aboutour activities and financial performance. Please do not hesitate to let us know how we are doing!Best regards,Don McCormickMayorPage 7INTRODUCTORY SECTION FINANCIAL SECTION STATISTICAL SECTION

May 26, 2025 I’m proud to share the City of Kimberley’s 2024Annual Report with you. Each year, the Citypublishes the Annual Report to present theaudited financial statements for the year. This isthe City’s responsibility to the community, and itsupports Council’s strategic priority of FinancialAccountability. It is important for communitymembers to see these statements, and for theCity to be transparent about public funds andtheir use. To help community members better understandthe impact of the financial decisions of Council,the Annual Report also includes measures ofmunicipal service delivery, operational highlightsfor the year, and a look forward to the projectsand priorities that community members will seeover the next few years. These stories andimages demonstrate what the financial decisionsof Council mean for residents, and how our Cityis made better and more welcoming each year. Message from Chief Administrative OfficerJim HendricksThere were many highlights in 2024, all of whichhave supported an organizational shift towardlonger-range planning, building on past work toincrease effectiveness and efficiency, andenhancing outward communication to betterinform residents. Some of the more significantof these initiatives are shared below.Through thoughtful hiring and successionplanning, workforce development, andeducation, key roles were created or filled in away that will build internal capacity and supportthe long-term success of the City of Kimberley.The Accessibility Advisory Committee wasformed and began work on the City of KimberleyAge-Friendly Accessibility Plan, which Councilwill review in 2025. The Plan will provide animportant framework for decision-making thathelps staff incorporate an accessibility lens atthe project planning stage. Page 10

Page 11

Early work on the Wastewater Treatment Plantproject in 2024 showed that the originalproposed plan would exceed the approvedbudget by $40 million and limit futureexpansion. Staff and the project team havedeveloped a revised plan to bring the costcloser to the approved budget, and theycontinue to work diligently to develop furtherrevisions and engage with funding agencies tokeep the project moving in a way that supportsthe long-range vision for the community,including sustainable wastewater management,community growth, and economicsustainability. Staff and Council have met and worked withstaff and Council at ʔaq̓am and the KtunaxaNation on multiple topics. While the City ofKimberley operates within a clearly definedboundary, the decisions made by ourcommunity impact the communities around us.Collaborating with our neighbours, includingour closest neighbours at ʔaq̓am, is importantfor ensuring that the long-term results ofdecisions benefit these relationships.The City introduced new tools in 2024 that willcontinue to support increased communityengagement in the years to come. Theresidents of Kimberley are valued partners inthe work that we do, and we hope that you willsee your feedback reflected in the work thathas been done this year, and the projects andpriorities on the horizon.Jim HendricksChief Administrative OfficerI am pleased to present to you the 2024 AnnualReport on behalf of a dedicated and mindfulCouncil and a talented team of staff who are allcommitted to ensuring that Kimberley is, andremains, a great place to be.
