Wawa Municipal Council's holding back-to-back meetings tonight.
First up is a Committee of the Whole meeting, which includes discussion on the 2023 capital and operating budgets, fuel price concern, and monthly reports from department heads, as well as two "in-camera" items, both personnel issues about staffing.
That'll be followed up in tonight's regular Council meeting, which includes resolutions appointing members for the Wawa Municipal Fire Advisory Committee and approving the Five-Year Tourism Plan, as well as by-laws to adopt a policy on temporary outdoor patios, and taking measures to adopt the 2023 operating budget, which was first presented to Council a month ago - it proposes a 3.8% levy increase, which is expected to mean a roughly 3.6% rise for residential taxes - combined with increasing water and wastewater rates, it's expected to mean $12.98 more per month or $156 more over the year for the average household.
The meetings will be held back-to-back, starting at 6:30 pm tonight, in Council Chambers - they'll also be livestreamed through the Municipality's YouTube channel.
