Expected to be ratified April 18, it’s considered a “status quo” budget that will see spending increase by just over $10 million, due mainly to increased cost of labour.
The mayor of Saanich says this year’s $170-million budget controls costs and delivers on the district’s strategic priorities without putting too much additional burden on property taxpayers.
The increase from 6.8 per cent tax suggested in draft budget documents last week allows for one-time spending measures and other resource requests. Murdock noted that all maintenance and building requires concrete, steel and pipes that have increased in cost, to say nothing of the cost to ship them here.
Saanich also opted to approve $1.65 million in additional funding requests mainly for personnel to carry out the district’s strategic objectives.
