The proposal includes officer boosts, tech upgrades, building repairs, and a $574 million headquarters in Oshawa, potentially leading to 10% property tax hikes in 2027. The finance committee voted 4-2 to delay, with two absentees. Police Chief Moreira expresses disappointment, while councillors like Crawford and Ashe argue for full council voice. A $93 million one-off request for Oshawa HQ land and designs is still on the table for June, potentially increasing 2027 taxes by 0.4%.
