Background
City Council
July 14, 2020
Presently, BIAs must submit their budgets to the Council for approval for
each year. However, once approved by Council the BIAs have two
alternative views about whether subsequent amendments made by

they are free to amend it without further approval of Council
provided they don't increase the total amount of the funds to
be raised in the budget as approved.
2. Alternatively, at least one BIA (Fallsview) feels that the
budget, once approved by Council, cannot be amended in
any fashion without further approval by Council, even if
there is no increase in the total amount of the funds to be
raised in the budget approved.
ORDERED on the motion of Councillor Wayne Thomson, Seconded by
Councillor Victor Pietrangelo that Council approve Option 9 stating that
