Autumn cycle: second budget amendment within a month

These are not the first budget amendments this year. On September 9, 2026, Latvijas Vēstnesis No. 173 announced Limbaži Municipality Council Binding Regulations No. 26, which amended the same January 29 regulations No. 4. Thus, No. 27 is the second publicly announced amendment act for this budget within less than a month.

Published on the same day as the budget amendments were Limbaži Municipality Council Binding Regulations No. 28 — a decision to declare the binding regulations No. 24 “On Co-financing in Professional Orientation Educational Institutions of Limbaži Municipality” dated November 25, 2021, as having lost force.

Why this is important

Budget amendments are a tool for the distribution of municipal financial resources: they determine which services and investment projects receive funding in the current year and which are postponed. Since the Limbaži Municipality council simultaneously decides on the education support procedure, the paid services of the “LAUTA” agency, and the takeover of real estate, budget amendments are directly linked to the daily services for local residents.

Limbaži Municipality Council Binding Regulations No. 27 are publicly available and verifiable from the moment of their publication in Latvijas Vēstnesis, which is the official publication where municipal binding regulations are announced to the public.
