Grey Twp.
supports
county
tax reform
Grey Township Council held its
regular meeting on January 18 and
one of the major topics of the
meeting was the proposed county
wide reassessment. Council de
cided that the fairness of the
proposed county-wide system out
weighed the negative aspects of
the system, and Council passed a
resolution endorsing a county
wide reassessment under either
Section 63 or Section 70 of the
Assessment Act, with preference
being given to Section 70.
A Section 70 reassessment
would assess all properties on full
market values (on a 1984 base year)
and would eliminate the present
factoring system which is present
ly used to reduce assessments. A
Section 63 reassessment would
still retain the present factoring
system. The Section 70 system was
favoured by Council over Section
63, because itwas felt that full
market value assessment would be
easier understood by ratepayers.
The new system would mean an
increase of26 percent in taxes for a
Grey township owner of a house
assessed at$50,OOOand a lOper
cent increase to the owner of a farm
assessed at $90,000. The provin
cial government will provide
grants to help phase in the increase
to property owners over a three
year period.
The 1988-89 insurance package
was presented to Council for
review by Keith Mulvey and Doug
Sholdice of Cardiff & Mulvey Real
Estate and David Reed of Frank
Cowan Company Limited. Several
minor changes were requested and
the insurance premium will
amount to approximately $16,300,
whichisafivepercentdecrease
from the 1987-88 premium.
Council passed a by-law which
appointed Gary Earl and Stewart
Steiss as Fire Chief and Deputy
Fire Chief respectively of the Grey
Township Fire Department. The
appointments were made neces
sary when John Engel had asked to
be relieved of his duties as Fire
Chief because of work commit
ments.
Reeve Armstrong gave a report
toCouncil on County Council briefs
and business. In other business,
Council approved a grant of $300 to
the Brussels Agricultural Society
for the 1988 Fall Fair. The next
regular meeting of Council is
scheduled for February 1st at 10
a.m.
