City Councillor Brent Budz

Portage la Prairie City Council will soon unveil new details to its 2014 budget. Councillor Brent Budz will discuss the preliminary results at council's first meeting of the new year on Monday, January 13th.

"(The budget speech is) a little ahead of schedule, but really, it's just a testament to all the hard work that has been done to this point." says Budz. "Council has met several times to deliberate over budget considerations and I'm pleased with the position that we're in."

Budz says the budget speech will touch on plans for capital projects for the year and taxation numbers. The next step will be a more comprehensive financial plan which will be rolled out in March or April.
