AgricultureBrussels Livestock reportChoice steers, heifers see sales to $88PAGE 14. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2009.
One Huron County department is
planning to put a little less pressure
on the levy for 2010.
At committee of the whole, Nov.
10, director of public works
Dave Laurie told county
councillors that the draft budget for
next year is sitting right now at
approximately nine per cent lower
than 2009.
Behind the good news is
infrastructure funding received this
year that allowed the county to bring
forward two paving projects.
“So that took care of $2.3 million
worth of paving that had been slated
for 2010,” said Laurie.
The savings will go into next year,
and as there are no additional paving
projects proposed, there will only be
about three-quarters of the paving
work that is normally done, said
Laurie.
But Laurie said that are also other
ways the department is trying to
keep lean. “We are trying to find
better ways of doing things, through
staff and equipment use. ”
“The numbers aren’t official yet
because we have to see at the end of
the year where our spending is. But
it should be fairly close to the nine
per cent.”
