Calgary city council is trying to keep the 2020 budget with a zero-per cent property tax increase. Three councillors are proposing a five-per cent cut across all city departments, except essential services.

Members of Calgary city council heard Monday that a number of possible scenarios for further budget cuts will be presented to them on Nov. 10.

City of Calgary administration says given the short time frame in finding $60 million to cut from the rest of this year's operating budget, they are proposing cuts across the board.
