I want money set aside before repairs, replacements and emergencies become a scramble.

I do not treat these reserves as spare cash. Much of this money already has a job to do.

My sources & exact numbers +

I add statutory and non-statutory reserves in Note 11 of the audited statements. I exclude unappropriated operating surplus, development charges reported as liabilities and the value of physical assets. I retain the 2024 dip and use nominal dollars, not inflation-adjusted purchasing power. I do not infer that every future infrastructure need is funded or that Council alone caused this change.

I checked these sources on 8 September 2026. I am showing dated public records, not a live feed.
