Greater Sudbury police want a 5.66% budget increase, Public Health Sudbury and Districts wants 3.17% more in municipal funding and the Greater Sudbury Public Library board seeks a 7.4% jump in municipal funds
The police, library and health unit budgets were presented to limited response from city council during tonight’s finance and administration committee meeting.
In advance of 2023 budget preparations, the previous city council asked the city’s service partners to limit their budget increases to 3.7 per cent, which two of today’s three presenters failed to do. This version of the budget brings it to $72.7 million and maintains a direction to bring on 24 additional sworn members within three years, including 10 in 2023.
Rather than more police officers, they said “Sudbury needs social services that will respond to the needs of its population with community care.” Elsewhere in his presentation, Pedersen said the staffing boost will also help front-line staff, who “are feeling the impacts of being pulled in many directions.”
