No decision has been made for the City of Kitchener’s 2014 operating budget.Councillor Scott Davey thinks they have been budgeting responsibly over the last few years and feels they are in a good place.
He tells 570 News that the starting point for next year’s budget is a 1.17 percent increase — which is incredibly low.
“We expect to possibly go below that, before the final budget day on January 30th. We’re looking at in terms of how much we’re going to cost tax payers extra, it’s less than a dollar per month.”
The City is having a public input session on January 13th at City Hall at 7 pm.
Davey encourages residents to attend and raise any concerns or issues they may have.
