When the City’s Finance and Corporate Services Committee resumes its meetings on September 2, it will be considering the budget directions for 2026-27. A staff report will likely be released 10 days ahead of that. To have some modicum of influence on this, POP proposed an early intervention by sending a letter to the City’s Chief Financial Officer regarding high level metrics and analyses that should be included in the staff report to facilitate effective engagement. The GA supported the POP letter on staff directions for the 2026 City of Ottawa Budget.
