Interim Chief Administrative Officer Don Studholme presented council with the proposed 2021 budget during Tuesday’s meeting and while the final numbers have not been crunched he informed council the budget as proposed is within the four per cent increase that council required Studholme to get to.
In his report Studholme stated “The 2021 budget has been a challenge to implement and move forward to completion. I am presenting to you a copy of the budget that meets your requirements up to 4 per cent increase. This is very hard to achieve due to the requirements of the capital budget and fitting it into the picture. What we have done to meet this requirement is to use our reserves and reserve funds to their maximum ability. I have left some dollars in every reserve and reserve fund so that there is some ability to move next year but we need to keep in the back of our mind that this is limited.

Town council has opted not to hire a “head hunter” to find a new permanent Chief Administrative Officer, instead choosing to form a committee made up of some town staff and three councillors.
The committee will be made up of Interim CAO Don Studholme, Human Resources Supervisor Kassandra Young along with councillors Lad Shaba, Stacy Wight and Rick Owen.

During the discussion on the matter Owen said he was not in favour of hiring a head hunter. “I think that we learned from having been through the process once it was an eye opener for us. Some of the things that perhaps we placed a high priority on, we realized they weren’t necessarily the best fit for the situation in Kirkland Lake. I think we have a much more realistic picture of what we want in a CAO.”
