South Lakeland District Council looks at the authority's budget today.
There's a warning that the council is looking at running up a £1million defecit by 2020.
That's down to government cuts.
The shortfall is on top of around £750,000 in savings that have already been identified.
Council Tax won't be frozen for 2016/17 as previously thought.
Some spending should be approved - with a new £90,000 Lake Patrol Boat on the way.
