Grande Prairie City Council met on Monday. Among topics discussed were:

Mid-Year Budget Requests

Council approved some mid-year budget requests.

That includes reallocating $26,000 set aside to re-shingle the roof at the Campbell Cabin at the Grande Prairie Museum. The money had been set aside for the blacksmith shop, but an inspection by city staff found the cabin roof was more in need of repairs.

Also, $300,000 is being moved from 911 Grant funding into upgrades for the fire department and 911 call centre to meet needs for new technology, according to CRTC regulations. The project wad first delayed from 2015 to 2020, then put on hold because of what the city refers to as “limited information and guidelines ” from the CRTC. The city had already transferred $200,000 from the 911 Grant in 2021 for this project and the delays mean another $300,000 transfer is needed.
