Verbal Motion

L. Mercader spoke in support to the renaming the Max Ward Park to the Philippine Park. Councillor Tedjo thanked L. Mercader for attending Council.

Diana Rusnov, City Clerk asked the following questions submitted by Athina Tagidou, Resident under Public Question Period:

  1. Would this mean that this same name change of an existing City of Mississauga public park's name would then be allowed to be made for other city public parks to be named or renamed to another foreign country's name and/or the adjective word form of a foreign country's name?

For example: American Park (for the USA), Italian Park (for Italy), Polish Park (for Poland), Portuguese Park (for Portugal)

  1. With respect to the overall cost to the Mississauga taxpayers and practicality of this proposed name change of an existing public park to the adjective form of a foreign country's name - why wouldn't Danville Park's name be changed to the proposed new name directly from Danville to Philippine Park rather than changing Max Ward Park to Phillipino Park and Danville Park to Max Ward Memorial Park? 

Raj Sheth, Commissioner, Community Services spoke to the Asset Naming Policy and to the cost associated with the name change. Councillor Hart spoke to renovations taking place at the park.

Item 15.1 was brought up and voted on.

Councillors Hart and Dasko spoke to renaming a park within a community and to the Philippine community. 

S. Palijo and R. Shahid spoke to the Stay the Night program and requested an amendment to the occupancy certificate for 280 Britannia Rd East to be able to serve all women and to standardize the process. Councillor Butt enquired when the change could be made.

Andrew Whittemore, Commissioner, Planning and Building responded and noted that staff could bring a Notice of Motion to a Special Council meeting to allow the amendment.  

Diana Rusnov, City Clerk asked the following questions on behalf of Athina Tagidou, On behalf of the Applewood Hills & Heights Residents' Association:

Following the approval of the 2025 property tax increase of 9.2% and knowing that this record property tax increase would be a great impact on the property owners in Mississauga and with the 2026 city budget meetings to begin in about 6 months, there is great need for current planning discussions to take place. These discussions need to offset any possible property tax increase in the coming years, similar to what we have experienced in the past 3 years. We have had a compounding 22.5% increase over the past 3 years, which is unprecedented and totally unacceptable in comparison to the income gains of your constituents.

  1. What have you - Mayor Parrish, Council members and City staff - done to date and what are you doing going forward to plan/budget to ensure that such an excessive increase in property taxes does NOT reoccur in the coming years?

The City of Brampton’s population has now surpassed Mississauga’s, however, as we have been informed regarding the Peel Police budget, Mississauga residents pay the greater portion of approximately 68%, while in Brampton, property owners pay the remaining 32%. The Town of Caledon does not even have Peel Police service and does not contribute to the Peel Police budget, through their property taxes, however, the Town of Caledon’s Councilors have a vote on the Peel Police final budget amount.

  1. What action has been/is being taken by you - Mayor Parrish, Council members and City staff - to address this inequitable funding model between Brampton, Mississauga and Caledon that would allow for a more equitable distribution amongst the municipalities within the Region of Peel for the Peel Police's annual budget so that the greater contribution would not remain with Mississauga’s property owners?

Members of Council encouraged the Applewood Hills & Heights Residents' Association and other groups to attend upcoming Budget Committee meetings, for residents to send letters to the Region of Peel to ask questions related to their budget increase, to how municipalities are governed, and for staff to be transparent with the public by providing dollar amounts when proposing to add new services when sending out resident surveys.
