Finance committee makes short work of CIP during day two of budget deliberations
LETHBRIDGE – It was a fast paced second day of 2018-2027 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) deliberations, as all but one section of the budget was approved.
Council members, sitting as finance committee with Councillor Liz Iwaskiw as chair, will use this week (May 15-19) to make preparations for the first four years of the 10 year budget.
The public is encouraged to attend the debates at City Hall or watch online. The draft document with detailed project sheets (referenced below with project numbers) is available on the City of Lethbridge website.
A new strategy has been implemented to tackle the debate this round, as well. Instead of finance committee debating each project individually, every section is put into one resolution and voted on as a whole. Only projects that have resolutions brought forward will be debated in-depth.
