The RM of Portage appears headed for budget success in 2007.

Last week's Council meeting heard as of the end of November, they had a surplus of just under $586,000.

Reeve Toby Trimble is pleased, even though it was expected.

While numbers from December aren't in yet, he thinks this bodes well for year-end, and the RM will end up with a small surplus.

Trimble believes favourable weather in December means Public Works costs will be low.
