After adding in the water, sewage
and waste management figures,
Huron East council is one step closer
to an approved budget.
After their April 3 meeting, a
few minor details were
discussed and treasurer Brad Knight
expects that council will formally
adopt the budget at their April 17
meeting.
Taxes were also broken down for
the councillors by municipality and
averaged out so councillors will have
an idea of exactly what ratepayers
are going to see when they open their
first bill. These documents will also
be provided to council at their next
meeting.
As discussed at their budget
meeting, taxes in Huron East will be
going up 13 per cent. This issue was
not debated further, leaving the taxes
where they are for the finalization of
the budget.
Knight pointed out that despite the
increase, which may look substantial
at first, the municipality’s tax rates
are still among the lowest in Huron
County.
The rural townships, Grey,
McKillop and Tuckersmith, are
expected to be the three lowest in the
county with Seaforth coming in as
the lowest town.
Knight said that once the water
and sewage numbers were added to
the budget, the budget remained
balanced, so finishing touches are all
that’s required.
Huron East council will pass
budget at April 17 meeting
