Windsor officials have suggested financial pressures could translate into a possible 12.9 -per-cent property tax increase in 2025 are based only on very broad estimates, say senior city hall administrators.

That figure is based on administration’s “high-level projections,” and budgets are still subject to approval by each respective board.

If no savings are identified, it would be the city's highest levy increase in decades .

Mayor Drew Dilkens used strong mayor powers to create three budget review committees.

Most of the city’s spending on social services — 89 per cent — is funded by the provincial and federal governments.

Much of the remaining 11 per cent , which is municipally funded, is tied to funding from upper levels of government.

The committee asked for a report on the degree of risk associated with each employee in finance department.
