When we reported on Brighton and Hove City Council's draft budget proposals in December, the more astute among you will have noticed they had a gap.
Though the council said £24m of savings were needed to balance the books - they had thus far only found £21m of them.
Well, a new draft, external from the Labour administration proposes a way of closing that gap.
They'll take advantage of new powers to raise your council tax 5%, not 4%. That adds about £81 to your bill instead of £55 if you're a Band D taxpayer - but raises about £1.2m for the council. A further £1.2m comes from a new adult social care grant from the Government.
£800,000 more comes thanks to a larger base of taxpayers than previously thought.

There aren't any extra cuts we didn't know about back in December- though the full implications of those proposals are still being worked out.
It'll take some persuading to win over the opposition - nothing is set in stone until the whole package is voted on at a special council meeting on 23 February.
