Recommendations endorsed Tuesday would bring a 17 per cent tax hike in 2024 under 10 per cent, with more work still to come.

Atchison and Moen called for a pause on major capital projects, including a proposed downtown arena and convention centre.

Several councillors questioned Atchison’s view of council’s authority over the SPL board, which is governed by separate provincial legislation. The meeting then moved to a report from city staff listing proposed deferrals to spread 75 per cent of some of the largest inflation-related costs over the next five years, while funding the remaining 25 per cent.

The committee ended up approving an amendment from Coun. Hilary Gough to begin funding the snow clearing reserve at a lower rate than initially proposed in January. The session saw councillors go over proposals to trim costs or raise revenues, such as a recommendation endorsed by the committee to raise parking fees from $2 per hour to $2.50 per hour.Article content
