(IV) Delegations
Peter Rodrigues
Re: Report FIN 03-18
2018 Current and Capital Budgets
Peter Rodrigues, 750 Whitevale Road, Pickering, appeared before Council
expressing concerns with a lack of community engagement with respect to the 2018
budget discussions. He noted a low number of residents in attendance this year and
felt more engagement methods should be made in advance of budget meetings in
order for residents to have a better understanding of the budget. He also felt the
meeting should be held in a larger location and be recorded as well for public
viewing. Mr. Rodrigues also questioned the transportation budget for Mayor and
Council, noting he felt this was a large amount in relation to the actual needs of
Councillors. He felt a separate recorded vote should be taken on any items that
Councillors removed from the budget.
