RECOMMENDED MOTIONS
recommendation

Alternative Motion #1:

That a 2020 final tax requirement of $110,264,000 resulting in a consolidated budget of $310,306,000 as detailed in the attachment titled “2020 Adjusted Consolidated Budget” be approved.

Alternative Motion #2

That a 2020 final tax requirement of $109,220,000 resulting in a consolidated budget of $309,262,000 as detailed in the attachment entitled "2020 Adjusted Consolidated Budget -- revised" be approved

[PROCESS NOTE: Shortly before debate began on the budget adjustment motions on May 4, 2020, Councillor Hughes advised Council and Administration of her intention to move a motion to revise the 2020 Adjusted Consolidated Budget to reduce overall budgeted expenditures for 2020 by 1%. That motion was not made on May 4 due to passage of another motion to defer finalization of the adjusted budget to May 11. In anticipation of the 1% expenditure reduction proposal being brought forward on May 11 Administration has analyzed its impact and has set out that analysis under the Alternatives section of this report. By passing Alternative Motion #2 above, Council would adopt the 1% expenditure reduction.]
