THE NATION ADOPTS 2026 BUDGET FOLLOWING OPP COST REDUCTION
for council’s budget amendments from the standard 10 days to one day. This change moved the end of the veto period from Decembre 20 to Decembre 11, 2025, allowing the budget process to proceed more quickly. With all steps completed in accordance with Section 7 of Ontario Regulation, the 2026 budget was deemed adopted on Decembre 12, 2025. Council has now formally recognized that the mayor’s proposed 2026 budget, incorpo- rating the two council-adopted amendments and the OPP billing adjustment, is adopted. Council also directed municipal adminis- tration to return with a tax levy by-law to formally establish the 2026 tax rates.
and adopted two amendments at regular meetings on Novembre 24 and Decembre 8, 2025. A key change to the budget occurred after the municipality received its final OPP billing on Decembre 5, 2025. The invoice showed a reduction of $211,119 compared to the amount originally included in the proposed budget. At the Decembre 8 council meeting, members verbally agreed with the mayor’s recommendation to revise the budget to reflect the updated policing costs. The approved adjustments included eliminating a previously planned $48,300 withdrawal from municipal reserves, trans- ferring $62,819 into reserves, and applying
the remaining $100,000 to reduce the overall budget requirement. As a result of these changes, the muni- cipality’s total contribution to reserves now stands at $111,119. The revised figures also reduced the required tax levy increase to $741,820, representing a 4.6 per cent increase for 2026. To formalize the changes, the mayor issued Mayoral Decision MDE-2025-14 on Decembre 8, 2025, ratifying the adjust- ments related to the final OPP billing. The decision was circulated to council members and made publicly available by Decembre 9, 2025. The mayor also issued Mayoral Decision MDE-2025-15, shortening the veto period
