Prince George, B.C.- It’s back to the budget table today for talks about which budget enhancements should or shouldn’t be added to the base budget of the City of Prince George. 

 

The enhancements already approved are:

 

$12,000 for the Air Quality improvement implementation

$20,000 for Greenhouse Gas Reductions

 

Up for discussion are:

 

Councillors will also be asked to make a decision on the road rehab tax. They will have to make a decision on increasing it by 3 or 3.4%. Which ever they choose, there will still be a shortfall that will have to be made up for this year, and about a million dollars trimmed from next year’s budget.

Council will also get a look at the Capital priorities for the City for the next five years. The plan is expected to see the development of Boundary Road at the top of the list, with the 4^th Avenue revitalization running a close second. The Boundary Road project is a $48 million dollar project which would see the City borrow $8 million dollars and have developers pay $8 million dollars, while the Federal and provincial Government pick up the balance.
