Gill says $1.5-$1.6B in taxpayer-collected capital sits tied to unbuilt projects and attacks wasteful council travel.

• Says council staff confirmed $1.5-$1.6B in unspent capital tied to approved-but-unbuilt projects: 'The money was already collected from taxpayers for work that was somehow mismanaged... The projects never moved forward.'
• Criticized a $19.4M internal loan from an emergency/rate-stabilization reserve to cover the operating budget, repaid via the hospital levy.
• Attacked wasteful councillor travel ('flying to Taiwan, Portugal') costing tens of thousands with no benefit: 'with no investment to show for it, that's wasteful spending.'

“The City has collected somewhere between $1.5 and $1.6 billion from residents for capital projects that never got built. There's no transparency, no accountability.”

Run a "one problem, one owner" city hall and report progress publicly within 100 days.

• Run a "one problem, one owner" city hall and report progress publicly within 100 days.

“A city hall that works. One problem, one owner. Residents will know who is responsible for their concern, what is being done and when to expect results. Within 100 days, I will report progress publicly.”

Gill's signature idea is a 'One problem, One owner' City Hall with a named owner per issue.

• Centrepiece: turn City Hall into a 'One problem, One owner' institution — every issue delegated to a single named municipal official, empowered and held accountable; resident knows who owns their issue.
• Would re-open the half-dozen forensic investigations into allegedly fraudulent procurements/hiring that a council majority launched and Brown cancelled in 2022; 'I'm publishing what they find and I'm serving the full four years.'
• Says the current 311 system issues a ticket number with no updates on progress; his model would assign an official, publish a capital status report to council, and escalate to a departmental manager if unresolved — no restructuring or extra cost.

“Every problem that comes into City Hall gets one named person who owns it until it's solved. And the resident knows who that person is.”
