Utility fee defeated as council tables budget plan

City council defeated a proposed MCAE fee and approved raising 2019 tax increases from 4 to 7 percent while tabling the item to July 3. Mayor Clugston urged against the fee amid hopes of future power dividends, with discussion aiming to close a 16 million revenue gap and erase reliance on reserves.

Medicine Hat Debates City Fee on Power and Gas Rights of Way

City councillors narrowly rejected a proposal to add a rights of way fee for private utility providers using municipal gas and power lines. The plan would have generated about 6.3 million annually to close a 12 million budget gap by 2022 and followed years of energy revenue declines for the city owned power company. Supporters argued broader cost sharing, while critics noted existing power plant profits and suggested tax increases or public advertising instead.
