KPS Disbandment Costs finalized

The total cost to disband the Kenora Police Service will come in at about 2.4 million dollars.

That figure was provided to Kenora City Council yesterday.

The costs include severance for employees of the municipal police service, legal expenses, overtime training costs, and building expenses for renovating the old KPS building.

Finance and Administration Manager, Karen Brown says they will be able to bring down the final disbandment expense by recovering some costs elsewhere.

The final bill for the city will amount to 1.7 million dollars.
