The Village of Brussels finished
the year in strong financial shape
recording a small deficit of $1,094,
the annual auditors report released
recently to the village council
shows.
The report showed that after
putting $15,244 into reserves the
council still has $36,013 in surplus
funds compared to $52,351 going
into the year.
The biggest money-loser for the
village was the Brussels, Morris
and Grey Recreation Board which
lost $9,429 for the year on top of a
deficit of $3,442 coming into the
year for an accumulated deficit of
$12,866.
Operations of the Brussels
Cemetery showed a surplus of
$10,554 more than offsetting the
deficit of $2,001 coming into the
year for an accumulated surplus of
$8,553.
The Medical-Dental Centre fin
ished 1988 with a surplus of $3,117.
After starting the year with an
accumulated deficit of $6,146 it
leaves an accumulated $3,029 de
ficit at year end.
The Waterworks department be
gan the year with a $13,317 deficit
but built up a $3,591 surplus for
1988 to leave an accumulated
deficit at year end of $9,726.
The Hydro Commission showed
net earnings for 1988 of $32,242
which when put with the $178,489
utility equity at the beginning of
the year adds up to a total equity of
$210,731 at year end.
In total the village spent
$651,795 in 1988, not including
money collected by the village but
turned over to school boards and
the county level.
Further evidence of the village’s
strong position was shown in the
six-year financial review contained
in the report prepared by Pannell
Kerr MacGillivray which showed
that in 1988 taxes in arrears
amounted to only six per cent of the
total. By comparison in 1983 the
amount of 17 per cent of all taxes
while the amount remained at 16
per cent as late as 1986. Assess
ment in the village totalled $18.48
million last year, the first year in
which marketvalue assessment was
in place for all taxes.
