Saskatoon approves budget adjustments to affordable housing, SPCA, gas, diesel costs
On Monday, city council discussed a new mill rate increase of $100,000 and a capital contribution of $300, 000 to the affordable housing reserve.
On Tuesday, city council approved this recommendation from administration and will move forward with the budget adjustments. City council also approved a budget adjustment of a one-time contribution of $95,000 to SPCA pound services to assist the transfer of animals from the pound to shelter services.Randy Donauer motioned to reduce the assumption on gas and diesel costs by 10 cents per litre, which would result in approximately $700,000 in savings.“Gasoline and diesel is a very volatile market right now so it is difficult to say, with certainty, the exact amount of risk it will bring in,” said Hack.
“But if we experience similar volatility next year, we would be pretty close to what we experienced, with a 10-per cent reduction.”More than $1.1 million in fuel expenditures highlights the city’s total expenditure change of more than $10 million. The city’s current deficit sits at $2.26 million, meaning that the motion would help balance the books.
