The projects budgeted to be completed in 2021 will cost approximately $11.98 million of which $6.5 million (54%) will be paid for through a loan and $3.87 million (32%) funded out of reserves, $201,000 (1.7%) will come from operations, $344,000 (2.9%) from gas tax funding, and $1.06 million (8.9%) from capital grants and other funding. The largest project the city will be undertaking is the replacement of lift station #1, which is located at the corner of Main Street and Halifax Ave. The $5.7 million project was originally planned to be replaced in 2024 but had to be moved up due to various circum- stances. “Piping repairs for lift station #1 were a part of the 2020 budget; however, due to lift station #4 failing, the funds were diverted for the replacement of this lift sta- tion,” Lynsey Swanson, the city’s Director of Finance CHRIS ASHFIELD | GRASSLANDS NEWS told council. 0LOOLRQDLUHVJHWÀQDQFLDOERRVW Lift station #1 was in need of piping repairs as well 0HOYLOOH0LOOLRQDLUHV·KHDGFRDFK0LNH5RRQH\ZDVDSSUHFLDWLYHRIWKHPLOOLRQLQÀQDQFLDODVVLVWDQFH as extensive electrical repairs which were expected to IRU6-+/WHDPVWKDWZDVDQQRXQFHGE\WKHSURYLQFLDOJRYHUQPHQW:KLOHKHVD\VWKHPRQH\ZLOOKHOS cost $250,000.

But traffic offenses in 2020 al- most doubled as the result of a strategic crackdown on impaired driving in the area. “COVID has slowed things down considerably,” RCMP Staff Sgt, Dean Lerat informed council. “A major factor contributing to the decline was everyone spent more time indoors, and because we were able to patrol more, the police were more visible.” As a result there was a 60 per cent drop in thefts, a 30 per cent decline in break and enters and a 10 per cent drop in the number of assaults reported to the local detachment. The number of incidents of public mis- chief remained the same, but Lerat attributed that to a “core group of certain individuals known to po- lice,” offenders who “do things over and over again,” and wind up regularly in police cells. “We’re trying to help them by referring them to drug and alcohol treatment centres, but we need more help with that.
