Fort Frances council is giving tentative approval to some budget requests.

The Meals on Wheels program will get a $500 increase to its operating budget.

Council is also willing to give the Salvation Army $500 to assist with an upcoming event.

The Boundary Waters Dragon Boat Festival had asked for $2,500, but council was more willing to give $1,000 - the same as it gave last year.

No decision was made on Fort Frances Chamber of Commerce's request of $10-thousand for tourism marketing until more information was received.
