"loan bylaws"

The City is approving the 2027 funding for its infrastructure maintenance plan, totaling $301.9 million. This investment covers various sectors including water, roads, police, and affordable housing, and allows for greater flexibility in launching tenders.

This plenary committee meeting reviewed project scenarios and options, focusing on the timing of calls for tenders and financial planning. The administration clarified that while provincial approval from the MAMH is required for loan bylaws, there is no financial risk in initiating tender processes early, as no contracts are awarded until later in the cycle. The discussion emphasized the need for project predictability and efficiency, noting that these adjustments will have a significant impact on Gatineau residents.
