Councillors approved the 2010
Huron County budget at its March 3
meeting, which comes with a 1.5 per
cent tax increase.
The total budget sits just under $33
million.
With the average Huron County
residential home assessed at just
over $153,000, the increase will
mean the addition of just over $12 to
the annual tax bill.
Councillor and Huron East mayor
Joe Seili asked for a recorded vote
on the motion to pass the budget,which was eventually passed with 18votes for the budget and two votesagainst it. Seili and Central Huron’s
John Bezaire were the two who
voted against the approval of the
budget.
Originally, before any initial cuts
were made, the tax rate increase sat
at nearly 4.5 per cent, but after senior
management combed through their
department budgets, cuts were made
and budgets were trimmed.
Some of the cuts made included
potential new jobs and contingency
funds within Huron County.
