Peel Region council is urging police to lower their budget request for 2025, citing the excessive increase of over $100 million proposed, which would necessitate a significant rise in municipal property taxes. The initial budget increase request was approved by the Peel Police Services Board but rejected by the council, which has now asked for a reconsideration.
Peel Region council is asking police to reduce their budget request for 2025, saying their proposed increase of more than $100 million would require too much of a hike on municipal property tax .Peel Regional Police Chief Nishan Duraiappah presented the 2025 budget proposal to the Peel Police Services Board on Nov. 1. The board approved it, but council voted Thursday to send it back to police for reconsideration.
After a successful motion put forward by Coun. Brad Butt Thursday, council said the proposed 2025 police budget constitutes over half of the municipality's overall annual budget, and the requested increase would result in an overall property tax increase of 4.1 per cent. The motion directed Peel Regional Police to "review and reconsider" the budget, asking the service to lower its financial request to reduce the impact on the property tax.
