But between cost increases ($80,000 for labour; $200,000 for the rCMP; $30,000 in electricity costs) and a loss of tax revenue ($30,000 due to reduction in assessed values & the loss of major in- dustry, ie. Ardew), there is an increase of $451,000 in uncontrollable costs. The tax increase to cover that would have been 7%, enough to spark a resident revolt! But at the next meeting, City Council will approve a 2% increase, which will bring an additional $130,000 in revenue. And to keep this budget bal- ance, all departments are working to re- duce their costs by $200,000, and $500,000 will be taken out of reserve funds. A quick look at the earliest budget archived on the City’s website —2007 — shows $8.2 in expenditures & $14 million in revenues, for an annual surplus of $5.8 million.
