The Strategic Priorities and Policy Committee will review a report Wednesday afternoon that recommends spreading $6 million over several municipal departments.
The tax-base growth last year was 0.91 per cent, which works out to $4.9 million.

Council policy dictates the money go towards city services impacted by London’s growth.
The report outlines close to two dozen business cases suggested by city staff where the money could be spent.
The money includes $1.6 million for London police to hire 14 full-time civilians and officers.
Wednesday’s meeting begins at 4 p.m.
