Powys County Council's cabinet voted unanimously to agree its 2015/16 budget plans last month, which also include a four per cent rise in council tax.
The proposals will now go before the full council at a meeting in County Hall, Llandrindod Wells at 10.30am.
The recommended council tax increase would see the bill for an average band D homeowner increase by £40.22, to £1,045.62 per year.
The recommended budget features a raft of service cuts as the council seeks to save more than £16 million.
