Lethbridge City Council set to review operating budget next week

Nov 20, 2020 | 2:31 PM

LETHBRIDGE, AB – You will be able to watch city councillors debate the 2021-2022 Operating Budget.

“As Finance Committee, we have some very difficult decisions to make,” says Councillor Rob Miyashiro, who as current Deputy Mayor will chair the Operating Budget Review deliberations. “It’s important to look at our expenditures and our current service levels, especially now during the COVID pandemic, to ensure the budget reflects the new economic environment we are all living in.”

The review will start at 8:30 am on Monday, November 23 and last until approximately 5:00 pm. The meeting will reconvene at 9:00 am the following day.

It is expected that council will work towards approving a zero percent increase to property taxes and utility rates after setting that target earlier this month.
