The City of Saskatoon has ended 2018 with a deficit of just over $3 million.
In a report, the city said a number of factors were to blame including waste handling which had a deficit of $1.4 million.
Parking meter revenue dropped by over $1.3 million and the Remai Modern art gallery was mostly behind a $1.4 million deficit in facilities management. Other shortfalls included leisure centre admissions and Saskatoon Transit.
The city plans to tap a number of its reserve funds to balance the books.
