Origin
Summary
City Council, at its meeting on March 10 and 11, 2015, directed the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer to include the following in the 2016 Budget process: A budget schedule that will allow for community consultations meetings in all Civic Centres including East York and York.
It is important that the 2016 Budget Process is widely accessible to the public. I am therefore recommending the establishment of 2 Subcommittees in order to hear from a greater number of public presentations on these dates, in different locations across the City.
The Subcommittees will report to the Budget Committee on their activities as part of the 2016 Budget Process.
I have suggested that one subcommittee hear deputations at City Hall, Scarborough and East York, and the other hear them at North York, Etobicoke, and York Civic Centres but I leave that to the Budget Committee to make the final determination.
