• 22 JUL 2026

  Adoption of the Annual Budget 2026/27Unanimous

  Carried 5–0. In line with the promise: a Yes vote.

  Why

  Note. The 2026/27 budget raised the group that holds Ranger Services and City Surveillance from $10.9 million to $12.9 million, added $100,000 for a CCTV reimbursement trial and lifted CCTV renewal from $388,000 to $520,000 (budget papers, 22 Jul 2026 agenda pages 84, 99 and 101; 2025/26 figures, 15 Jul 2025 agenda pages 87 and 102). The budget does not break the group down, so the rise is not all rangers.

  Note. The 2026/27 budget adds a new operating project, 'Safe City Patrols: Enhanced', $550,000 (budget p.25). A budget is voted on as a whole; it counts here because of this line.

  Adoption of the Annual Budget 2024/25Unanimous

  Carried 6–0. In line with the promise: a Yes vote.

  Why

  Note. The 2024/25 budget holds the Law, Order and Public Safety program roughly flat, up 6.2% ($10.59M to $11.24M, budget p.50) against 3.8% City-wide, with no new patrol program. The promise was for more, so a flat budget is not in line. A budget is voted on as a whole; it counts here because of this line.

• 17 JUL 2023

  Adoption of the Annual Budget 2023/24Unanimous

  Carried 8–0. In line with the promise: a Yes vote.

  Why

  Note. The 2023/24 budget raises Community Safety staff costs 24.9% ($4.07M to $5.08M, budget p.81) against 8.6% City-wide; the rise covers rangers and CCTV operators together. A budget is voted on as a whole; it counts here because of this line.

• 12 JUL 2022

  Adoption of the Annual Budget 2022/23

  Carried 7–1. In line with the promise: a No vote.

  Why

  Note. The 2022/23 budget holds ranger and community-safety funding roughly flat: Community Safety employee costs up 4.7%, the program's rise mostly internal allocations, and below the 2021/22 estimated actual (budget p.30, p.80). The promise was for more, so a flat budget is not in line. A budget is voted on as a whole; it counts here because of this line.

• 13 JUL 2021

  Adoption of the 2021/22 BudgetUnanimous

  Carried 8–0. In line with the promise: a No vote.

  Why

  Note. The 2021/22 budget cuts the Law, Order and Public Safety program 10.6% ($8.66M to $7.74M, budget p.27) against a 1.8% fall in the City's total, and Community Safety operating projects from $1.2M to $21,586 (p.76-77). A budget is voted on as a whole; it counts here because of this line.
