THUNDER BAY — City councillors asked some hard questions on spending and staffing increases during the second of four review meetings to set the 2023 budget on Thursday, but offered few hints as to where they could find millions in proposed cuts.
The only significant change to the budget made by council remained the addition of $1.3 million in capital spending. That will help chip away at an estimated $22 million yearly infrastructure spending shortfall and stave off a planned cut to the public library, but also add to the tax levy. Overall spending in the department would rise by just over one per cent, however, thanks in large part to an increase in provincial grants, and the suggested use of $1.2 million in reserves to help cover a steep jump in fuel costs.
A request for a seven per cent, or nearly $4 million, jump in city spending on policing — identified by administration as the single largest driver of this year’s tax hike — will be considered in detail by council next week.
