Morris -Turnberry
tables '16 budget
By Denny Scott
The Citizen
Morris-Turnberry Council had the
daunting task of setting forth the
2016 budget over the past several
months and brought what they
hoped was a final draft to its council
meeting on April 5.
The budget was presented at a
public meeting on March 15 prior to
council's second meeting of the
month.
The document arrived in its near -
final form after three meetings of
council starting in early December
and, following the March 15 public
meeting, staff members were
directed to prepare the budget to be
adopted by bylaw.
As part of the March 15
presentation, council was informed
that the taxable assessment for the
municipality had increased 8.289
per cent in the municipality, from
2015's $586,119,878 to
$634,706,200.
Unfortunately, Morris-Turnberry
also saw a significant drop in
Ontario Municipal Partnership
Funding. In 2015, the municipality
received $1,048,200 while 2016 saw
a 14.55 per cent, or $152,500
decrease in funding that is supposed
to offset costs acquired by the
municipality in downloading.
With those factors, as well as
increased Ontario Provincial Police
(OPP) costs in mind, the
municipality's council and staff set
out in December to try and create a
balanced budget.
The draft budget sits at an
estimated $11,273,356 with
$8,678,232, or 77 per cent, going to
the municipality, $1,658,508, or 15
per cent, going to Huron County and
$935,616 or eight per cent going to
local school boards. Those figures
are yet to be finalized, however.
The 2015 budget levy generated
by taxation increased 6.97 per cent,
however, with the increase in
assessment, that may not mean an
increase in tax dollars collected for
every resident.
For every $100,000 of residential
assessment, taken as an example, a
ratepayer will pay $1,559.99 in
Morris-Turnberry which is actually
a $10.32 decrease from 2015.
One of the largest parts of the
budget outside wages, the road
construction budget, accounted for
$1,212,500.
Construction projects include St.
Michaels Road, Arthur Street in
Lower Town Wingham, Huron
Bruce Road near the Belmore Hill,
general crack sealing, road studies
and tar and chip projects and
sidewalk repairs. The Public Works
construction budget is up 24.6 per
cent from 2015 when $972,500 was
budgeted but only $573,196 was
spent.
Aside from taxation, council also
reviewed the water rate for
customers in Belgrave. In 2016,
users will see an increase of 9.39 per
cent for a total of $889.86 per user or
$74.17 per month.
For more information about the
budget, look for council's decision
on the draft document in the April 14
issue of The Citizen.
