Here are some of the items that will be considered this week:
- Council will look at adjustments to the 2022 operating budget and the 2022 capital budget (postponed from the Nov. 22 meeting). Notably, administration has recommended a number of adjustments to the 2019-2022 capital budget resulting in a net increase of $216.8 million. And council will get an update on the city's progress towards implementing a carbon budgeting and accounting framework for the 2023-2026 budget.
- The total projected financial impact of COVID-19 on the 2022 operating budget is $96.7 million, and administration is recommending a series of one-time funding strategies to offset that cost, including a special dividend of $10.3 million.
- Audit committee will look at the Office of the City Auditor's projects for 2022, its 2022-2025 strategic plan and operating budget request, the results of the Historic Resources Management Program audit, and more.
Meetings are streamed live on city council's YouTube channel.
