The Art Gallery of Northumberland (AGN) seems to be struggling financially.
The AGN agreed to provide the Town with quarterly financial reports.
On January 14, 2019, the Town of Cobourg held its public budget meeting. Not all of the submissions were requesting money from the Town.
Bryan Lambert’s presentation challenged Council that Cobourg doesn’t have a revenue problem. It has a spending problem.
The Q1 financial report was added to the Committee of the Whole (COW) agenda for Monday May 29, 2017. Bryan Lambert discovered the report was incorrect and emailed the Deputy Mayor.

The CTA wrote to Deputy Mayor Henderson and Council several months ago to ask how our town was doing financially with respect to the budget. We wanted to know if we were on track or whether we were over budget. We were disappointed because we were not given the actual spend numbers.
