Mayor Irwin says taxes will not be raised this year.
"The good news is we didn't raise taxes. Again, I was elected in 2010, and since then, we've lowered taxes 15%, and in the last couple of years we haven't raised them and we haven't had to."
Mayor Irwin mentioned having $1.2 million worth of road construction to take place in Dauphin.
Irwin also talked about installing 50 kilo-watt solar project to run the pumps at the lift station in the north end, the first of its kind in the region.
