Full summary

This Council file is part of the 2026 budget cycle and centers on how the city should prioritize its unfunded capital and technology projects. The City Administrative Officer has been tasked with evaluating unfunded projects and recommending which ones merit funding consideration. This type of analysis is standard practice during budget development, as it helps the Council make strategic decisions about limited capital resources and technological infrastructure investments across city departments. The file was introduced by Council on June 24, 2026, and was formally referred to the Public Works Committee on July 7, 2026, where it remains pending. The Public Works Committee is the appropriate body to review capital project priorities, though the ultimate funding decisions will come through the full budget adoption process. Given the file's June 2028 expiration date, the Council has approximately two years to complete action, though budget recommendations are typically resolved much faster within the fiscal year cycle.
