The City of Swift Current is starting to finalize its spending plans for the year.

City Finance Director Tim Marcus says the departments have been working on the budget since December, and it's now being reviewed by City Administrators before being presented to Council in the spring.

A major budget issue for cities all over the province is a possible freeze of municipal revenue-sharing grants from the province, instead of a planned increase.

Marcus adds, they won't know the effect revenue sharing will have on the City budget until the provincial government confirms their plans.
