City Council returns to budget discussions this evening with some major items to consider.

In addition to considering the Police budget ($16 million) there is also a request for staff  increases that would add another $220 thousand  to the RCMP budget this year.

The Fire Protection budget  calls for $12 million in spending, while the Mayor and Council operating budget is pegged at $554 thousand.

The Capital plans and Debt projections will be discussed  at the  regular  Cpuncil meeting set for the 20th.   All of the  budget requests that had been deferred will also be discussed at that session.

Opinion250 originally noted the  starting time for today's budget meeting to be  4:30, that was incorrect,  the meeting was rescheduled and will, start at 7 p.m.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

I would almsot bet that the Mayor and Coucil operating budget won't get deferred. I bet they won't commision a study on it either.
They also seem to find lots of money for organizations that should be self sufficient through their own memberships and user fees..... RCMP and fire something tells me you aint gonna get what you think you should.
But then who am I to guess these things.......
