Current budget plan puts property tax increase at 2.67%
KAMLOOPS — During another round of budget talks city council discussed a long list of costly supplemental items, many of which threatened to increase taxes for Kamloops residents.
When budget discussions began the city was looking at a four per cent increase in taxes. However, by shifting some projects away from taxation council managed to lower the tax increase to 2.67 per cent.
One such item was a $180,000 pedestrian signal on Tranquille Road at Cambridge Crescent.
