With Canada's Consumer Price Index up 6.3 per cent over this time last year, what kind of increase can Saultites expect in this year's city budget and property taxes?
Some early hints of where our municipal budget may be headed this year can be found in a collection of very preliminary budget documents to be presented to city council on Monday.But so far, increases sought from levy boards and local boards that set their own budgets and essentially add them to the local municipal levy, are well below that number.
Sault Ste. Marie Conservation Authority is planning to collect a $557,000 levy from the city in 2023. That's up 4.98 per cent over last year. Algoma Public Health will provide some welcome relief to city budget planners. The health unit is not seeking any levy increase this year, citing "a significant decrease in anticipated requirements in both COVID-19 response and immunization programs, as public health routinizes this work into mandatory program delivery".Art Gallery of Algoma will ask for $340,000, a $200,000 increase from 2022.
