TRY CLASSIFIED Read Rhea Hamilton Seeger’s Gardening column on the Huron Home and Garden Guide section of our website www.northhuron.on.ca Continued from page 15 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.
