PRINCE GEORGE — A report from Prince George city staff say the costs to clear snow in 2024 was at least $300,000 over budget.
In a report going before Monday’s (Feb. 24) City Council meeting, staff say snow clearing budget for 2024 was $10.3-million, though expenses to date have amounted to $10.6 million.
“Defined timelines for completion of snow removal activities and annual budgetary adjustments support the level of service outlined in the existing policy,” the report read. “Budgetary enhancements support equipment resources, contracted services, staffing and operating hours required to achieve defined levels of service.”
The report also showed that snow clearing efforts came in over budget in four of the last six years.
