City
Council, on 14 September 2011, approved the 2012
Budget Process and Timetable for developing and approving the 2012 budget,
indicating that the individual Committees, Board and Commission would hold
meetings to listen to public delegations, review their respective budgets and
make recommendations to Council. At that
time, Council also approved that the tax supported budgets for the following would
be tabled on 26 October:
On 26 October 2011, City Council adopted the following Motion:
WHEREAS this Council is committed to promoting a culture of fiscal responsibility at City Hall; and
WHEREAS the Long Range Financial Plan incorporates a maximum tax increase of 2.5% for the years 2012 to 2014; and
WHEREAS this Council wishes the Standing Committee and Transit Commission Budget recommendations to be consistent with the Long Range Financial Plan;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that City Council direct each Standing Committee and the Transit Commission to work within the funding envelope for the budgets in their mandates, and that any additions to the budget will require offsetting reductions.
The Transit Commission, at a special meeting on 26 October 2011, tabled the relevant portions of its 2012 Operating and Capital Budgets and approved the following recommendation:
WHEREAS the budgets for three capital
projects were inadvertently included in the Transit Commission’s budget; and
WHEREAS these three capital projects are within
the mandate of the Transportation Committee (as they deal with the road network
and not the Transitway);
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Transit
Commission refer the following capital projects to the
Transportation Committee budget deliberations for their consideration and
recommendation to Council:
905183 - TMP
Supplementary Transit Network (pg. 25)
906514 - Transit Priority Corridor 2012 (pg.
21)

As well, there will be four multi-ward bilingual budget consultation meetings held between the 1st and 4th of November, in advance of Council's consideration of the Budget to be held on the 30th of November 2011.
