Ask Meadus
Residents have questions about the future of Maple Ridge. Here are my answers to some of the questions I hear most often.
The numbers matter.
~15.4%
2019–2022, compounded
~22.2%
2023–2026, compounded
During my term, 2019–2022
There is important context behind the 2022 number. The City was required to fund a federally determined RCMP contract settlement following RCMP unionization. That resulted in a one-time 1.6% special RCMP assessment. To help offset the impact on taxpayers, Council paused the planned infrastructure replacement, drainage, parks, recreation and culture levies for that year.
Current term, 2023–2026
For me, this isn’t about pretending that Council can control every cost. It can’t. Inflation, contracts, policing and other external pressures affect municipal budgets.
The difference is how Council responds.
When unavoidable costs increase, I believe Council has an obligation to look even harder at the rest of the budget. New spending cannot automatically mean asking taxpayers for more.
Having served on Council before, I understand the budget process and can begin that work immediately. I believe every new expenditure should come with a second question: what can we reduce, delay, change or deliver differently?
That is the financial discipline I want to bring back to Council.
