The City of Dryden is holding its own when it comes to finances.
The first quarter report was release at the open council meeting on Monday.
Treasurer Steven Lansdell-Roll says the one trouble spot is the Dryden Airport.
“Our user fee revenue is slightly underbudgeted, approximately $127,000, this primarily relates to airport landing fees”, Lansdell-Roll reported to city council earlier this week.
“The low fire season we’re seeing to date, it’s a good thing for our forests, but not such a good thing for our airport revenues.”
Lansdell-Roll says the number of vacancies in the city is generally a negative thing, but it is saving money.
In the second quarter, he says their employee expenses dropped by $540,000 dollars, with vacancies early on in the year in the public works department. He adds they have yet to fill their junior planner position.
