Sudbury City Council’s finance committee has agreed to a 5.2 per cent increase in water/wastewater rates and a 3.6 per cent increase in the 2009 budget before capital levy. The budget will reach final deliberation once the capital levy is determined in February.
The budget increase takes into account all budget projects that were determined by committee members to be priorities.
Some of these options are: $2 million in one-time funding for the St. Joseph’s Health Centre; a commitment of $10 million for the Northern Ontario School of Architecture; approximately $450,000 to enhance transit services with an additional $750,000 in road maintenance.
