Next round of SCRD budget discussions in early March

Round two of the budget deliberations for the Sunshine Coast Regional District are set to go in early March.
The preliminary overall tax increase over the 2015 budget so far is point 8-1 per cent but Tina Perreault, SCRD Treasurer says the round one numbers are very preliminary and the final outcome will vary depending on each electoral area.

Projects approved so far include improvements in the Regional, North and South Pender water systems, solid waste management, ports, recreation facilities, community parks, and the Gibsons Public Library Building.

Major projects that have not yet been approved are a hot tub replacement project at the Gibsons and District Aquatic Facility, funding for a Regional Economic Development memorandum of understanding, facility upgrades at the Gibsons Library, as well as projects within the various fire departments.
