Toronto City Hall
Although the City’s guideline for the 2010 Operating Budget requires a 5% reduction from the 2009 Approved Budget, the 2010 recommended budget increase for TPL is 1.8%.
In January 18th, 2010, the Toronto Library Board did not endorse all of the recommended reduction options totaling $2.423 million. The 2010 Approved Capital Budget and Capital Plan for the years 2011 and 2012 will result in a cumulative increase in TPL’s Operating Budget of $1.419.
What is the point of having a city guideline? The economy has yet to recover and with so many unemployed. How could Toronto Public Library justify this increase in expenditure? What is more important to you, emergency services that cover the city well, long-term care homes, street repairs or this?
2009-2018 recommended capital plan and forecast for City is -$4.410 Billion, 25% Financed by Debt.
