The last stage of the budget process at city hall — the introduction of the mill rate bylaws — took place at North Battleford council Monday night.
The bylaws — one to establish mill rate factors, and the other to authorize levying of the tax rate, establishing a minimum and base taxes, and to authorize levying of a rate for the Business Improvement District — were introduced Monday. But there was not unanimous consent for third reading, which means the mill rate bylaws will come back in two weeks for likely passage.
Also introduced at council Monday night was a bylaw to impose penalties for non-payment of taxes. That got through two readings and will come back for third reading in two weeks.
