The city is projecting a half million dollar surplus for 2016.

In documents filed this week, the surplus as of the end of September is at $505,000.

Most departments are in the black including the fire department at $420,000, Engineering, Environmental Services and Works at $110,000, Service Partners at $89,000, Corporate Services at $60,000 and Community Services at $30,000.

The only blemish is at General Government which is reporting a $206,000 deficit.

The financial projections are reported twice a year and reflect information at the end of June and the end of September.
