Kenora residents should find later today much more they will have to pay in property taxes.
The 2010 municipal budget is going to be presented to council this afternoon at a special meeting starting at 3:00.
In addition to the municipal budget, new rates for sewer and water are also expected to be set.
While there should only be a modest increase in property taxes this year, sewer and water rates are scheduled to rise by about five percent this year.
The municipal budget is ready for passage almost three months earlier than normal.

Highway Safety Northwest
Highways across northwestern Ontario are safer today than they were two years ago.
That's according to statistics released by the OPP.
Constable Shelley Garr says since 2007, they have seen a dramatic decrease in the number of accidents, fatalities and injuries on local roads.
The OPP says its traffic safety program, which has been cracking down on unsafe and aggressive drivers is paying dividends right across the province.
