Enderby Prepares Budget For Review

Apr 5, 2017 | 8:11 AM

Enderby City councillors have taken hard look at the city’s proposed budget.

Mayor Greg McCune says they tweaked it a little bit making some minor changes after going through a wish list.

” Everytime we added one of those wish lists we
saw the effect of it, what it would be on the budget and a lot of them didn’t go forward for numerous reasons. ”

McCune says another half per cent was added to protection services.

” You know we have to fund our fire department X amount every year just to maintain and it was projected to fund a little bit more but I think we did about two-thirds of it.”

Upgrading Salmon Arm Drive will also add some costs.

Overall, the budget could see about a 2 per cent increase.

It will go the next council meeting April 18th, which is open to the public.

McCune says he expects the budget to be adopted in early May.
