The schedule calls for a proposed budget meeting on Jan. 11, and the first regular meeting would be Jan. 25. There would be one meeting in February, March, April, July, September, October and December, and two meetings in May, June and August. A 2022 budget meeting is scheduled for November. Councillor Shelly Veroba called for additional meetings, saying that cities like Weyburn and Yorkton meet more than Estevan. She would like to see second meetings in March, April, September, October and December. “With four people being new on council, I find that with the one meeting a month, you almost feel out of the loop, per se,” said Veroba.

In a report to council, Shane Bucsis, the manager of water and wastewater services, said the water tower, which was built in the mid to late 1950s, is in need of repair. During that time, it has served as the main water storage, but as the city has grown, other reservoirs have been brought online to be used. The tower is beginning to show heavy fatigue, and rehabilitation is required, Bucsis said. “The water tower is the best back-up storage system the city can have,” said Bucsis. “In the event of a power outage the water is already in the tower and it can provide water pressure to the city, eliminating the city from issuing a boil water advisory.”
