City of P.A. looking at increased budget for 2024
Budget season is officially back for the City of Prince Albert.
P.A.’s council’s first meeting will happen on Thursday with a total of five days being set aside throughout the rest of the month. Depending on how fast they get through all the numbers, they may not need all five days.
As of right now, the city is projecting over $82 million in revenue for 2024 which would be an increase from the roughly $76 million in 2023. The main reason for the jump is a rise in taxation as the city is expecting to receive $4.5 million more this year than last year.
The projected funding is for the city’s general fund which covers most of the budgeted costs. There are four other funds: airport, sanitation, land, and water and sewer utility.
