The Citizen, 2009-04-30, Page 19Huron East council approved its
budget for 2009 at its April 21
meeting, approving a six per cent
increase in the tax levy, when
coupled with the Huron County
increase means a 3.47 per cent
increase across the municipality.
The 3.47 per cent figure is an
average taken from the
municipality’s five wards. However,
with Tuckersmith’s bottom line
increase of over five per cent, every
other ward’s increase is under the
average. Brussels will see a 3.42 per
cent increase and Grey will see a
2.86 per cent increase while
Seaforth’s taxes will go up 2.87 per
cent and McKillop’s will rise just
2.18 per cent.
Councillors Frank Stretton, Alvin
McLellan, Larry McGrath and Bill
Siemon all voted against the passing
of the budget, feeling there was yet
work to be done..
McGrath suggested a re-
appropriation of funds, to be
returned to at a later date. He felt,
however, that even if the budget was
passed and could be amended at alater date, councillors would haveshort memories and it would be
difficult to move funds around that
have already been earmarked for
certain functions or pieces of
equipment.
Deputy-mayor Bernie MacLellan
assured McGrath that council would
not forget the conversations during
budget deliberations.
The budget, after implementing
over $300,000 in surplus from 2008,
is within $10,000 of being balanced,
which Knight said is acceptable,
considering the budget has a bottom
line of over $10 million with over
$12 million of expenditures.
Knight insisted that after four
months of budget deliberations
council needed to be swift when
discussing the budget, as he had to
move onto funding that has just been
announced by the federal
government.
The funding has an application
deadline of April 30, but could mean
hundreds of thousands of dollars for
the municipality, he said, so the new
funding announcement has become
a priority for Huron East.
