Treasurer Justin Rousseau noted the increase works out to an added $20 for every $100,000 on each home assessment.
Council substantially reduced an original proposed budget increase of 7.55 per cent recommended by administration in large part to catch up with rising costs after minuscule increases dating back to 2014.
