A record breaking winter forced the city to spend an extra $205,000 for snow removal last winter and council has had to amend the city’s five-year financial plan to account for the unplanned cost.

The 2017-2021 Five Year Financial Plan Bylaw had been given third reading at a council meeting on April 24 but on May 8, Carla Fox, director of Financial and Computer Services asked council to change the bylaw to account for an additional $130,000 in additional snow removal costs and $75,000 in associated repairs to plows and graters.
