$1,311,621added to the landfill closure obligation in 2025, against $81,283 in 2024
The Township has to close its two landfills one day and look after them for 25 years afterward. It counts that future bill as a debt on its books. At the end of 2024 the landfill part was $3,650,922. At the end of 2025 it was $4,962,543. Most of that jump turned a $563,489 surplus before this item into a $722,699 deficit for the year. It is an accounting entry, not money paid out in 2025.

Two 2026 road tenders came back above what the Township planned. For the surface treatment (reseal) job, council amended the scope, re-tendered and decided not to publish the first-round results, saying this protects the re-tender. For the Bear Creek bridge construction job, council re-issued the tender to four pre-qualified contractors. The town did give a reason for the first, and the final reseal price was published.

$116,838actual expenses above the budget figure in 2025 (worked out by us), not shown to be overspending
The 2025 statements show actual expenses of $4,960,237 against a budget of $4,843,399, a gap of $116,838 (worked out by us). That looks like overspending, but the statements say the budget was not prepared the same way as the actual results, and the actual figure includes $821,615 of amortization (the yearly wearing-out of roads, buildings and equipment, which is not cash). Revenue was also higher than budgeted: $5,523,726 against $5,312,832.

In 2019, Nipissing had $2.1M more in cash and money owed to it than it owed to others. By 2025 it was −$1.7M. About 139% of that change ($5.3M) is a new accounting rule from 2023: towns must now record the future cost of closing things like a landfill. That is not new spending or borrowing. Even leaving that out, only 13 of 20 similar towns are in a weaker position.
