At its December 18th council meeting, the Regina City council set its budget night as April 17, 2007 at 5:30 pm. This will be the night when the city budget, the library budget, the school board budgets and the police budget will be discussed and debated (city and library budget only) and finally passed determining the plans for the 2007 fiscal year. The school board budget has to be approved by council as is and the police budget has not been debated in public in recent years.
At this time, the draft city budget has not been tabled so that the public can have time to assess what their tax dollars is going to be doing. Some preliminary capital budget items have been approved such as another $230,000 for sidewalks around the new skate park in the Wascana Park (that brings the budget up to $730,000 before any tender has been let for the park. With the costs going up for much construction in the past year, it is likely that this will not be the last increased cost).
In past years, the draft budget has been available at this time but it has been coming out later and later each year. Last year it came out on March 27 And the amount of information included in the budget document has been going down as well. An e-mail has gone into the city manager's office to ask when the draft budget will be made public.

If the city had listened to its own advisory committee instead of the Mayor's pals, the skatepark would have been completed two summers ago at lower cost in a location that didn't need sidewalks. |
