"Making that extraordinary move last year has really benefited the city and benefited the people who pay for the city, that everyday Torontonian," said Coun. Shelley Carroll, the city's budget chief.
"No mayor, no councillor wants to add additional financial burden on residents. And at the same time, there are big needs out there that we need to get our heads around and to support," Mihevc said. "So, that's the juggling act."
The city enters the year with $1.2 billion in budget pressure, compared with last year's opening deficit of $1.8 billion.
While he expects this year's budget process to be somewhat easier than last year, he said the city is still facing 'huge' demands.
