The 2023 Toronto budget crafted by Mayor John Tory was debated and amended Wednesday after a special council meeting that went late into the evening.
City staff say that overtime pay for 80 officers to patrol the TTC has been around $1.7 million per month. TPS can afford to continue the patrols through the winter, but would need further funding to go beyond that.
Councillors are peppering staff with questions about how the city is meeting its needs given some of the large holes such as $9.5 billion in state-of-good-repair backlog, $1.3 billion in COVID-19 costs, $230 million in lost development charges, etc.
