2020 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS OUR APPROACH FOR 2020 · Continuously improving the day-to-day operations, streamlining service delivery, ... Connected City – Smart Kiosks, Brampton Mobile

• $5M over 5 years to launch Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst, a national cybersecurity centre for skills training and commercialization on the Innovation Corridor

• Building and branding of “Innovation District” in downtown Brampton, adjacent to the GO Train station connecting Brampton to Toronto and Waterloo

• Through collaborative e�orts we are responding to major trends here in the province, in Canada and globally.

• Recognizing that a�ordability and quality of life are important to our residents, we challenged ourselves to deliver improved, high-quality programs and services with minimal adjustments to property taxes.

• As the ninth largest city in Canada, Brampton has to stay on course in building a resilient economy, creating opportunities for growth now and into the future.

BASED ON THESE APPROACHES:Brampton’s baseline proposal to Budget Committee is a 1.2% net budget increase for 2020 compared to 2019. If approved, it would result in a Brampton property tax increase of 0.5% (average of $27) to fund the City’s 2020 Budget.

How will this be reflected in the property tax bill? Taxpayers will see a combined total amount for City of Brampton + Region of Peel and School Board. This total amount is a tax increase of 1.8% or an average of $91 per household.

During Budget deliberations, the Committee will review scenarios for additional e�ciencies and investments.

HOW WE WILL DELIVEROPPORTUNITIES: Creating and preserving knowledge-based jobs by enabling investments in postsecondary education, research, innovation and commercialization activities is at the heart of Brampton's economic vision.
