Former Yorkton Mayor Chris Wyatt is looking to get back on Yorkton Council, this time as a Councillor.
鈥淚 was lucky enough to serve the taxpayers of Yorkton for 16 years on city council, three of which as Mayor,鈥� said Wyatt Monday.
That experience is an asset, he said.
鈥淚 have the experience needed to help guide the city through these difficult times and will ask the tough questions when needed,鈥� he said.
The key moving forward is to get things done when required, offered Wyatt.
鈥淚 believe the focus of the next council should be finishing the projects the previous council started, and ensure they stay on budget and on time,鈥� he said.
But new projects have to be approached with caution.
鈥淔uture spending needs to be carefully thought out, as we will not know the full budgetary impacts the COVID-19 virus will have on our city in the coming months,鈥� said Wyatt.
Wyatt said it comes down to being fiscally responsible.
鈥淚f you are concerned with paying $200, $300, $400 or more a month in property taxes and want a city Councillor who will question administration and hold them accountable, I have shown that I am the person who will do it,鈥� he said.
Wyatt has lived in Yorkton for more than 35 years raising two children in what he noted is, 鈥渁 safe, vibrant and affordable community.鈥�
