The city estimated the Municipal Accommodation Tax will be down by 30 per cent compared to 2019, which means $1.15 million less will get transferred to the Indoor Turf Facility Reserve Fund.
One of the largest external budgets that council is not directly responsible for is the city s police service, which has a $47 million budget. For 2021, an increase of $1.2 million is requested, mainly because of $803,000 in wage increases.
Two major projects are also slated for Thunder Bay Transit, including a transit hub, and two new Lift Plus accessible buses. Costs associated with the project will address outdated infrastructure and hub configuration that is not consistent with current transit stop/station standards, operational and community needs, the budget noted. Discussions on a new transit hub have been ongoing for eight years.
