A move by City Council is getting the thumbs up from the Chamber of Commerce.
The business body is pleased Council is getting a city services profile that will help inform them during the upcoming 2019 budget deliberations.
The report will allow Councillors to see what services the city offers and their costs, as well as which services are mandated by the Province, and which are considered non-essential.
The Chamber believes that these details will be helpful to Council members and the community and will enhance transparency around spending decisions.
Over the past 5 years, the Chamber of Commerce has repeatedly requested a review of the City’s core and non-core services as part of a process to help identify potential cost savings for taxpayers.
