Ottawa city council has approved directions to staff to draft the 2023 budget with a 2 to 2.5 per cent property tax increase.
“The reality is that tax increases that are drastically less than inflation ultimately translate into decreased service levels,” said Coun. Rawlson King. Capital Ward Coun. Shawn Menard said a 2.5 per cent across the board increase is unfair, as departments with smaller budgets get smaller increases. In favour were: Cathy Curry, Glen Gower, David Brown, Matthew Luloff, Allan Hubley, Catherine Kitts, George Darouze, Stéphanie Plante, Laura Dudas, Wilson Lo, Jessica Bradley , David Hill, Tim Tierney, Steve Desroches, Clarke Kelly, and Mayor Mark Sutcliffe.
The fare freeze was approved for the 2023 budget by a vote of 22 yeas to 3 nays. Couns. Riley Brockington, Allan Hubley and David Brown voted against the fare freeze. Brockington raised concerns about reducing revenue further at a time when OC Transpo is already facing significant budgetary pressures. Staff estimated a one-year fare freeze would cost approximately $5 million.
