It‘s a different mindset when you take everyone away from their families and businesses and concentrate on nothing but city business," said Carroll. The first discussion centred around what counâ€" cil‘s actual role was and how they could be successful achieving their objectives over the next three years. They were lead in their "team dynamic routines‘" by Dr. Gene Descza from the School of Business Economics at Wilfrid Laurier University. They then listed, in a "very overall manner," the issues they must face in the upcoming term. Each item on the list was then discussed individually to determine what the priorities would be for city staff to keep in mind when preparing the budget. The session came into public light last week because of the $5,000 price tag the weekend will cost taxpayers. e â€" In a report to trustees, school board administra tors noted that the approved bid was 15.8 per cent, or $157,000, above the amount approved in the board‘s 1985 capital budget. They explained that this overrun is due to the recently imposed six per cent increase in federal sales tax, which was not anticipated in preparing the original budget, and a construction boom this year in K W that has Yovertaxed" the construction industry resulting in higher prices. As well, there are additional costs because the work is being dane during the winter months, and the Ontario Fire Marshal has required an additional stairway be built. while Forest Hill Village Market won the same honor in underâ€"50.
