The Governance & Priorities Committee, at its June 21, 2021 meeting, considered a report entitled Setting the 2022 and 2023 Indicative Budget and resolved, in part, that special Budget Review meetings be arranged for the Standing Policy Committee on Finance to undertake a deeper review of the proposed 2022/23 budget.  The purpose of the review would be to explore options to address the property tax pressure residents and businesses are facing in this unprecedented year, while also recognizing the need to maintain quality services and address strategic priorities of City Council.  That there also be opportunities for stakeholder engagement as part of this process.  A copy of the report is provided.
