Transit fare revenues are projected to be almost $12 million lower than budgeted for this year, the city said.
The report said sale volumes for transit fares have increased compared to the same time last year, which the city said is encouraging.Also contributing to the deficit is a projected $2.5 million to unbudgeted security measures and enhanced cleaning at transit stations, the update said.The city also provided hygiene resources after an outbreak of Shigella started spreading in Edmonton’s inner city. This is expected to push the deficit about $1.5 million further past the expected budget.
The deficit is partially offset by higher attendance at recreation centres and other city attractions and lower staffing costs due to empty jobs across various departments, the city said. The variance is equivalent to 2.6 per cent of the overall tax-supported expense budget, the city said.“The city is in a tough position and will have to make some tough decisions,” Sohi said.
