Budget Over-runs on 2 City Projects complete

Well, the bills are in and now we know how much 2 City Projects will cost taxpayers' extra (both projects are 100% complete, according to Brian Carruthers - City of WL CAO.  Information current as of September 30th, 2010:

1) Spirit Square Project - Project $21,432 over budget which includes the $40,000 taken out of the Surplus Account in 2009

2) New Fire Hall Project - Project $520,927 over budget (information updated at Tuesday, October 26th, 2010 Committee of the Whole meeting)

Williams Lake Council should in the near future explain why these 2 projects ran over budget and tell City taxpayers' what, if any processes, have changed to ensure that budget overruns don't happen again.  This is in light of the fact that the Mackenzie Avenue Rehab Project was considerably under budget at $8 million out of the possible $10.5 million project
