Staff While Christmas shoppers are carefully keeping an eye on their budgets, members of North Battleford city council are grappling with an even greater responsibility. At a regular council meeting Monday council was able to come to an agreement on the underground pipes and roads (UPAR) aspect of the budget, setting the total at $3.3 million in a 6-1 vote.

Other aspects of the budget need more work and consideration, council told administration Monday, so another round of deliberations was scheduled for Wednesday. For more about council’s discussions Monday turn to Page 3. Council took time Monday to pay tribute to retired transit manager Al Love. Love was lauded for his role in modernizing and expanding the City’s transit system. Turn to Page 6 for details.
