The snow fall in Prince George has created a daunting task for city crews, as plows and dump trucks have been working to keep roads and sidewalks clear.
Prince George City Council is looking to raise the net operations for snow control in the city by $200,000.
The 2021 budget for snow control was set at $10,000,000, and the year before it was set at $8,500,000 (the actual amount spent for 2020 reached $10,522,130).
Total revenue generated by Snow Control is proposed to be -$20,000, which is an improvement over the -$60,000 last year.
Total expenditures are estimated to rise by $94,812, compared to the 2021 budget.
You can let the City know your opinion at the budget talks on Monday (January 24th) at 3:30pm, and again at 6pm, during their Council meeting.
There’s also a potential rise in taxes in store for the City, with a proposed increase of 6.55% on the table.
