Mosaic Place and YaraCentre are expecting a year-end surplus of $65,000.

At Monday’s meeting of budget committee following the council meeting, Mosaic Place and YaraCentre general manager Scott Clark, Moose Jaw Downtown and Soccer/Fieldhouse Facilities (DFFH) board chairman Kurt Saladana and DFFH treasurer Terry Hardy presented the budget submission.

The DFFH board is asking for 17.7 per cent less in the 2014 operating budget than last year.
