The City Manager presented a report on the 2004 Operating Capital

construction of the One Mile Interchange. He added that the proposed Operating Budget
reflects an overall increase in City revenues and expenditures of 1.4%, a loss of
$1.9 million in Provincial funding, and a tax base growth of 4.6%. He emphasized that
expenditure control is not an issue, but revenue generation presents a challenge to the
City.

Fire Service at $14,999,995.;
