City Council continues to plug away on the 5 Year Capital Budget with 560 thousand dollars in deficit left to go.

 

They need to find 560 thousand dollars in the next few weeks and then the 2007-2011 Capital Budget will be in the books.

Moose Jaw City Council is hacking away at the budget little by little but Finance Director Brian Acker says one project has really had an affect in recent days. "The big change from the initial budget that we brought in is that the airport has been added. 250 thousand dollars a year for 2008, 2009, and 2010 so that's what has caused us to go from our initial surplus of about 200 thousand to a deficit of 568,000."

The total Capital Budget is worth 91.3 million dollars.
