City council has given budget pre-approval for the 2021 Capital Works Program, which will start the tender process for just over $5 million in spending on infrastructure projects.
Pre-approval of the projects will allow staff to pursue tenders and earlier starting timelines and completion, according to a staff report.
Funding, which has been identified in the city’s five-year financial plan, will come from a few different sources, including the city’s dedicated road tax, utility fees, federal gas tax and reserves.
