That with respect to Report C2025-0397, the following be adopted, as amended: That Council: Direct Administration to create a list of line items for November 2025 budget adjustments that are the result of either new provincial government requirements or funding cuts, clearly displaying those items in dollar value as well as proportion of budget increase;
Report C2025-0397 bundles three budget decisions: use available budget capacity (e.g., reserves or unallocated funds) to pay for identified high‑priority spending now (reducing future fiscal room); keep the increase in property tax revenue collected from existing properties at 3.6%; and approve additional 2025 capital budget requests so listed projects can proceed.
These decisions move funding to identified priorities immediately (using capacity that would otherwise remain available), lock the previously approved 3.6% limit on tax revenue from existing properties, and authorize specific capital spending for 2025 — together affecting which projects proceed and the city’s near‑term fiscal flexibility.
