12 more unfunded community projects added to draft CIP
LETHBRIDGE – Another 18 unfunded community projects went through the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) process Thursday (May 18), during the fourth day of deliberations.
Lethbridge City Council, sitting as finance committee with Councillor Liz Iwaskiw as chair, has just three projects left to debate on Friday (May 19), starting at 9:00 a.m. Residents are welcome to attend the final meeting at City Hall, or watch the live stream online. The draft document with detailed project sheets (referenced below with project numbers) is available on the City of Lethbridge website.
Finance committee has used this week (May 15-19) to prepare the first four years of the 2018-2027 CIP, which could be forwarded to Council as early as next Tuesday (May 23) for final approval.
There is more than $62-million in unrestricted funds over the entire 10-year context to finance unfunded projects. But $51.7-million is available within the next four-year window that current Council members will be approving (shown in chart above).
