2017 budget begins approval process
After three budget deliberation sessions, North Battleford’s city council will begin preliminary approvals of portions of the 2017 budget.
In the final of the three deliberations ending Dec. 7, council went over fire and protective services, general government services, and the underground pipeline and asphalt replacement (UPAR) program.
City manager Jim Puffalt said UPAR is something that will need to be approved by council as soon as possible.
“UPAR for sure we need to go as quickly as we can because that’s very labour intensive to get the tenders out,” he said.
