City Council today approved guidelines for the development of the 2019 draft City budget. The approved report also provides timelines and information on the public consultation process.

A citywide tax supported levy of no more than three per cent was approved for the draft budget. These funds will address anticipated increased labour costs and support critical infrastructure renewal projects. This funding provides an additional $9.8 million of funding towards roads, sidewalks, paths, culverts and bridges in all parts of the city. This would add no new debt and would reduce by half the time needed to eliminate the infrastructure funding gap. The budgets of the Police, Library and Public Health are also supported through this funding.

Further, direction was provided to fund 15 new school crossing guard locations across the city.

The City’s 2019 draft operating and capital budgets will be tabled at Council on February 6, 2019, with public meetings to follow. Detailed information, including dates of all standing committee meetings, will be available on ottawa.ca.

City Council also approved who will lead and serve on Ottawa’s committees, boards and agencies, and Councillors who will serve as Deputy Mayors for the 2018-2022 Term of Council.

Councillors Matthew Luloff, Laura Dudas and George Darouze will serve as Deputy Mayors, who act in place of the Mayor when he is unavailable.

Councillor Mathieu Fleury will serve as Sports Commissioner, and Councillor Catherine McKenney will perform the duties of the Council Liaison for Housing and Homelessness. City Council’s governance structure includes a new Council Liaison for Women and Gender Equity, to be filled by Councillor Theresa Kavanagh. Council Sponsors Groups have been appointed to work with staff on the development of the respective mandates for these roles.
