Councillors made two operating budget cuts on Monday night.


At Monday’s budget committee meeting, the committee decided to decrease Mosaic Place and YaraCentre’s 2015 operating budget by $50,000. This lowered the proposed city portion of funding for the facilities from $549,009 to $499,009.

The original level of funding represented a 22.45 per cent increase from the 2014 budget of $448,363. However, the Downtown Facilities and Field House (DFFH) board had requested a funding level last year of $548,363, making the requested 2015 increase a 0.12 per cent increase.
