Sarnia council considers reducing benefits for employees eligible for early retirement at its meeting Monday.
Council's public session begins at 4pm.
Proposed alternatives include having retirees pay 25 per cent of premium costs, eliminating post-retirement benefits altogether or eliminating coverage for new hires as of 2016.
City council faces another budget pressure in deciding a timeline for refinancing loans on the SSEC. Staff are recommending a 15 year amortization, which would push back the city's goal of becoming debt free by 2023.
A review of regulations governing churches, soup kitchens and food banks comes back to council, this time with the exact same recommendations as the October 26th meeting.
Brownfield Programs could be cancelled due to lack of available funding.
And community consultation protocols for planning applications could be adopted, effective January 1, 2016.
