BACKGROUND

 

On June 22, 2011, Council endorsed the Long Range Financial Plan (Part 1) report which outlined a budget preparation strategy for 2012 and for the term of Council.  The strategy set the increase in the municipal portion of the tax bill to a maximum increase of 2.5 per cent per year during Council’s term of office.

 

DISCUSSION

 

Council’s approved budget strategy required that as part of the annual budget process, the budget allocation for all local Boards and Commissions be based on their individual pro-rated share of a 2.5% tax increase and an estimated 2% increase in taxes resulting from growth in assessment.  Council requested that these Boards and Commissions develop their draft budgets within their annual allocation. These Boards are to table their budgets on October 26th.

 

 

Attached are the Crime Prevention Ottawa 2012 Draft Operating estimates approved by the Board at its October 3, 2011 meeting. The estimates represent an increase to the Board’s 2011 Budget of 1.6% to account for the cost of living increase (COLA) and are within the annual allocation approved by Council on June 22, 2011.
