Town moving unspent capital to reserves
The Town of Battleford will move $1.3 million in unspent funds left over from this year into its reserves for future use.
The funds reflect some capital projects that were either not completed or partially completed. In moving the money into reserves, the town will also earmark the funds to complete these projects in 2018.
Mayor Ames Leslie said it is not uncommon for the town to transfer money to reserves each year. He said the $1.3 million is actually a little lower than previously transferred.
“The construction season in Saskatchewan is short to begin with,” he said.
