City staff have adjusted the numbers following decisions made by council on Monday regarding the core review plan.
With the mayor and councillors voting to scale back recommended rate and fee increases, a projected accumulated financial impact by the end of 2016 has decreased from $60,606 to $58,753.
Decisions to spend money also ate into any potential revenues. On Monday, council approved staff recommendations to conduct an annual review of the official community plan (at a cost of $80,000) as well as commission a formal study of the fire department's response coverage and develop a fire master plan (at a cost of $100,000).
Among the adjustments:
n Council was more interested in starting discussions with Tourism P.G. over compensation for the city's contribution to the Northern Lights Festival rather than immediately sending them a bill for $20,000.
n Instead of increasing aquatic fees by 10 per cent over three years to generate $142,000, a five per cent increase over three years will raise $71,000.
n A projected increase to sports fields fees and user rates was adjusted by one-third to $6,000 after council decided to raise the prices by five per cent over three years, instead of 10 per cent over the same time period.
n Arena fees and user rates will go up five per cent over three years to bring in $62,000 instead of the $181,000 with a 15 per cent increase.
n All city tennis courts will continue to be maintained while staff conduct a review, which won't save the $18,000 outlined by closing 21 of them.
n Instead of an increase of 30 per cent to business licence fees to generate $260,000 more, a phased-in five per cent increase over three years will bring in $43,000 to the service.
The approved plan is available on the city's website.
