Treasurer Brad Knight said that due to an increase in Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund (OMPF) dollars and a substantial surplus from 2010, he is recommending no increase to the general tax levy. An increase, of course, is always up for debate by councillors, but a proposed budget with no tax increase is the starting point Knight has chosen for council’s budget deliberations. After a lengthy budget presentation, Knight outlined the actual numbers for council, saying that the municipality’s OMPF funding has increased by $201,000 to $3,202,400. To put the importance of the OMPF funding into perspective, Knight said, the $3.2 million is over $1 million more than last year’s entire general tax levy, which came in at $2,150,000. In addition, the projected surplus for the municipality is $250,000. For the recreation departments, however, Knight has suggested a four per cent levy increase as a starting point. There are still many points to be considered before the budget is finalized in April, including the discussion prioritizing major projects and initiatives at Huron East’s strategic planning meeting last Saturday, but to begin, Knight has suggested four capital equipment purchases, including a new tanker for the Grey Fire Department, a new grader for the public works department and a new one-ton truck and a new pick-up truck. The Grey Fire Department tanker, according to Huron East’s depreciation schedule, was initially scheduled for replacement in 1997. One of the most troublesome departments carrying a deficit into 2011, Knight said, is the Brussels Cemetery with a nearly $80,000 deficit. Knight said the deficit was cut down in 2010 by approximately $8,000, saying that the numbers are now “going in the right direction” but also noted that the high revenue could have been due to the spike in plots in 2010 due to the implementation of the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST). Councillor Bill Siemon said that he had discussed the deficit with Morris-Turnberry Mayor Paul Gowing who said he was willing to discuss Morris-Turnberry contributing some funds to help tackle the deficit, but further discussion between the two parties would have to take place.
