Summarization
Surrey Police Service (SPS) requested an audit, while City staff wanted to share info and costs but were not allowed. Over 100 secondary students participated in a Model United Nations on Saturday. The front page of the Surrey Now Leader tomorrow will have a photo of the @SurreyKnights captain during his last regular season game. There were calls to end the SPS boondoggle, blaming them for the $46 million in retroactive pay increases and $23 million annually in overtime costs. Westcoast Harmony Chorus sent a Valentine-O-gram and art therapy activities for mental health were held. There was also a discussion about the City of Surrey's budget, which was considered a hit to the bottom line by the business community. There has been some controversy surrounding the SPS and their financial transparency. The City of Surrey budget increase was estimated to be 9.5%, which some people had doubts about.
Topic Modeling

Financial transparency hasnโt been a strong point of the board nor the department. The previous mayor didnโt complete his due diligence on this experiment. | 6 |

| 1627174847154634754 | @SurreyNowLeader @CityofSurrey I wish I could believe these numbers. But first it was $500 million, then $235 million. Then a 55% increase and now a 9.5% increase. How many assumptions were used to come up with these numbers? And if the transition costs less than you think, will you give money back? | 2 |

| 1627076273528008704 | @SurreyNowLeader @CityofSurrey Enough with the damn excuses, the cat is out of the bag! It's time to stop blaming Surrey Police for everything, especially when we've been paying the RCMP a whopping $46 million in retroactive pay increases and $23 million annually in overtime with no transparency on the numbers | 17 |

| 1627538915673649158 | @SandhuSarge @GurpreetSSahota @SurreyNowLeader @surreypolunion @SPSBoard @CityofSurrey @connectfmcanada @redfmvancouver When Farnworth says to move forward with the RCMP then the books can be produced. Lipinski ordered Surrey City Hall to not make public any of the SPS expenses. You could start by showing the SPS books since you say they are public. That's a starting point for an analysis. | 11 |

| 1627077084123398147 | @SurreyNowLeader @CityofSurrey This is so bad, And completely falls on the ndp and the previous mayor and his council of yes people. | 9 |
