The following directions for developing the Draft 2026 Budget: That the Draft 2026 Municipal Budget be developed in accordance with Section 290 of the Municipal Act, which requires municipalities to prepare and adopt a balanced budget, ensuring that total expenditures do not exceed total revenues. To balance the City’s expenditures, funding sources include grants from other levels of government, fees and service charges (including rates and fares), property taxes, payment in lieu of taxes, and reserves. That the Draft 2026 Municipal Tax Supported Budgets be developed with an overall net tax requirement increase of no more than 3.75 percent including: The City-wide tax levy increase of up to 2.9 percent, which includes funding for City-wide tax supported services, Library and Public Health, and that Council recommend that the Library and Public Health Boards develop their draft budgets based on their pro rata share of this. The Ottawa Police Services levy be increased between 2.9 percent and 6.5 per cent and that Council recommend that the Police Services Board develop their draft budget based on this. That the municipal tax supported services include a list of budget efficiencies for the Draft 2026 Budget.

That City user fees and charges increase in accordance with the direction outlined in the Fiscal Framework or the Long-Range Financial Plans. That the garbage fee be increased in accordance with the approved Solid Waste Services Master Plan and Solid Waste Long-Range Financial Plan, reflecting a 10 per cent increase in 2026 and to add a list of operating efficiencies to reduce the overall garbage fees. That the Draft 2026 Capital Budget be developed in accordance with the direction outlined in the 2024 Development Charges (DC) Provisional Background Study, Long-Range Financial Plans and Fiscal Framework. That the Draft 2026 Rate Supported Budget be developed in accordance with the approved 2025 Long-Range Financial Plan VI - Water, Wastewater and Stormwater.
