The Town of The Pas has announced that they will be having a public hearing for a special service levy for policing services in the community. Mayor Jim Scott says there is no control over the cost of policing and the plan is to take the cost of policing which is about 2.5 million dollars out of the budget and put the money into a special levy.
The purpose of this service levy is to allow everyone in the community to receive the same policing services and to pay the same amount of money for the services regardless of whether residents live on a small piece of property or a large one.
The public hearing for this levy is set to take place next month.
