Huron and told them that the cross-
border servicing policy [which calls
for the 30 per cent tax sharing]
wasn’t right.” Gowing said. “We
told them it wouldn’t work, but they
put it in place. I felt sick to my
stomach for two days afterwards
because of that. It’s not good for
this municipality or this area.
The main issue is that there was
lots of money for the system when
there were lots of users, but one
of the major users is shut down
and vacant now so that’s not so
good.”
Gowing then said that, if the
municipality were to give North
Huron 30 per cent of the taxes on
lands serviced by North Huron
water and wastewater, that money
would have to come from the
general coffers of his own
municipality.
“I don’t know how I’m supposed
to tell someone near Walton that
their money is being used to pay for
services near Wingham,” he said.
Nelemans said that Morris-
Turnberry doesn’t get to keep all its
taxes, giving more than half to
Huron County and the local school
boards, however he was told by his
fellow councillors the 30 per cent
was not from the total tax rate but 30
per cent of the portion Morris-
Turnberry collects.
Kuyvenhoven once again said that
Morris-Turnberry is collecting
nothing if there isn’t development,
so any development is going to be an
increase in tax dollars for the
municipality.
“Every new industry is plus
taxes,” he said. “You have your base
costs, but one more building, one
more Pioneer Seeds or Royal Homes
is going to generate income,” he
said. “It’s good for everyone. We’re
Morris-Turnberry people and we
want to see the area grow, but you
aren’t willing to share the profits
from taxes.”
Gowing said that “getting along”
and “giving in to unreasonable
demands” are two different things
and once again said that services are
regulated to be user-paid, so he
doesn’t think North Huron can or
should ask for money from the
taxation of a property.
Jorritsma said that he didn’t
understand how Morris-Turnberry
thought this was unreasonable.
“If you send out a bill for a new
factory that pays $10,000 in taxes,
and $7,000 goes to Morris-
Turnberry and $3,000 goes to North
Huron and you don’t charge a
$3,000 surcharge on the property to
cover that, you’re still ahead
$7,000,” he said.
Gowing, however, was concerned
with the precedent that would set.
“When will that end and what is
that money for?” he said. “We can
tax our ratepayers, they can tax
theirs. They have no right to tax
ours.”
Kuyvenhoven then asked what
Morris-Turnberry currently pays
for service to come into the
municipality, and was told that the
costs are all user-based.
“So that is all being borne by the
business?” he asked and was told
that was correct.
The discussion ended soon after
with Gowing mentioning the fact
that the municipalities had a meeting
set for last Thursday when three
members of council and one staff
member from each municipality
would have a discussion. Due to the
fact that less than half of either
council was in attendance, the
meeting was not an official council
meeting and closed to the public, as
well as media.
Setting precedent with N-H
over cross-border servicing
