You’ll have one more chance to tell city council what you think of its plans for spending your tax dollars this year.

A special council meeting has been set for Feb. 18 at 7 p.m. to finalize the 2014 budget.

The meeting takes place at city hall, 2141 Major Mackenzie Dr.

As it stands now, you’re facing a 2.5 per cent hike on the city portion of your property tax bill.

That works out to about $32 for the average homeowner, with a house valued at $551,000.

Factoring in the Region of York levy, the provincial education portion and the $60 hospital levy brings the average homeowner’s total tax bill to about $4,663, up $66 from $4,597 last year.
