The short answer is lots, if council so choose.
First of all the budget is never really final until the mill rate is set which takes three reading.
So any member of council can make an amendment at that time to the budget.
What can the public do to encourage the councilors? Contact them call the municipal office at 403 562 8833. They will provide you with the councilors contact information.
You can also voice your opinion on several councilors blogs:
Emile Saindon @ http://emilesaindon.wordpress.com/ or Brian Gallant @ http://www.briangallant.ca/index.php also this is a small community when you see your members of council around town don't be afraid to voice your opinion.
Speaking from experience small town politicians love nothing better than silence, it gives them a sense that the public is supporting their actions (right or wrong)
