Cuts have been made to the Timmins City Budget.
After reviewing $8.9-millionĀ in capital spending, Timmins City Council has decided to cut in I-T, Engineering and playground departments.
Mayor Steve Black says this drops the cityās expenditure budget from a possible 5 perĀ cent increase to a 2.13Ā per cent increase.
Black says council will decide at that point if they have further work to do or whether they are comfortable with the rates going forward.
The next council meeting is in three to five weeks.
