 Supplementary Notes

December 18, 2009

(Lacombe, Alberta) – Following the priorities set out in the County’s 2010 – 2012 Strategic Plan and the long-range capital plans, Council approved Lacombe County’s 2010 operating and capital budgets on December 17. Responding to the economic downturn, Council and Administration worked to prepare a budget that represents a 10 per cent decrease in spending as compared to the 2009 budget.

The 2010 budgets reflect reductions in a number of the operating contingencies provided in previous years’ budgets, a significant decrease in the capital budget, particularly as it relates to the purchase of new equipment, a decrease in the road paving program relative to 2009 and an approximately $650,000 reduction in the fuel budget.

The January 14 meeting of Lacombe County Council included two public hearings, an update on the long range planning program, proposed amendments to the County's Land Use Bylaw with regard to RV Resort Developments, the potential closure of the Mirror School, an MGB Appeal from the Summer Village of Sunbreaker Cove, an update from MP Blaine Calkins and recommendations from the Alix Emergency Services Committee.
