The article published in the Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows News on January 22, 2019 “Pitt Meadows Council looking at 5.53 per cent budget increase” contains factual inaccuracies.
The 2019 Business Plan documents submitted to Council in December for consideration included RCMP’s Decision Package of adding one RCMP member in each of the years 2019, 2022, 2025, and 2028.
At the January 23 Budget Deliberations, Council chose to not approve the RCMP Decision Package.
