Cory Schermann, the general manager of corporate services for the City of Brandon, left, sits beside city manager Ron Bowles during a sit-down meeting with the Brandon Sun at city hall on Thursday afternoon. A funding model report prepared for the city that was the subject of the meeting states that insufficient tax increases over the last several years has diminished city reserves "at a time when Brandon requires significant reinvestment in infrastructure." The report states that "extraordinarily high tax increases" would be required starting in 2024, among other revenue increases, to meet the needs of the city. (Matt Goerzen/The Brandon Sun)
