FEBRUARY 8, 2023
Region of Waterloo (Budget) Meetings


(The below agenda sourced here)​

I have a Notice of Motion February 8 rejecting the police budget. We should not be funding a surplus. We shouldn't pay for police that don't exist. Municipalities cannot budget for a surplus or deficit. Neither should our community partners. #ghostforce. https://t.co/iS1GM7tDYv

— Rob Deutschmann (@robdeutschmann) February 4, 2023

  • "6.1 Memorandum from Jeff Schelling, Regional Solicitor and Director of Legal Services

The WRPS is basing their budget increase on a KPMG report that they refuse to make public.

How can council make decisions if the "evidence" is not made available. This is not transparency.
