Show Notes
Vancouver City Council approves a supplemental budget of $14.2 million for unexpected needs, including $35.5 million for operations and $34.6 million for capital projects. Key allocations include adding 13 police officers, supporting homeless teams, and upgrading a public works center. The plan supports 27 new full-time positions and boosts public safety, recreation, and cultural programs, but draws from city reserves. Revenue challenges include a 2% drop in sales taxes and adjustments of $1.2 million due to streaming shifts. The public hearing is April 6th, with a vote to follow.
