Lethbridge Police present four-year Operating Budget and new initiatives to Finance Committee
LETHBRIDGE – If the Lethbridge Police Service is approved for all the items requested as new initiatives in the 2019-2022 Operating Budget, it would amount to about one dollar per month per rate payer for four years – or an additional $48 per property owner over the course of four years, according to City Treasurer Hailey Pinksen.
But that’s not counting new initiatives from other city departments and organizations that could potentially be approved by Lethbridge City Council during Operating Budget deliberations in two weeks.
Police Chief Rob Davis and Police Commission Chair Peter Deys presented the force’s four-year Operating Budget and new initiatives at Monday’s (Nov. 5) Finance Committee meeting.
City Council directed all departments to come up with budgets that provide for the maintenance of current levels of service, to absorb inflation pressures and identify options for enhanced investment or service potential. The total Operating Budget that will is $380 million.
