Morning Star meets
Despite the fact a number of
expensive repairs will be carried
out at the Brussels, Morris and
Grey Community Centre and pool,
the tax bill to area taxpayers will
decline in 1996.
In a budget approved by Brussels
council Monday night, the levy to
each of the three supporting munic-
ipalities will drop slightly. The
Brussels levy will drop $1,600
from $28,646.99 to $27,014.51.
The decrease will be $1300 to Grey
and $930 to Morris. Brussels pays
48 per cent of the expenses of the
arena and pool, Grey, 33 per cent
and Morris, 19.
The recreation committee's quar-
ter million dollar budget was
helped by a $6,150 surplus from
1995. Biggest single items in the
budget are salaries ($86,465 includ-
ing extra costs for bartending
wages since the community centre
got its liquor licence) and arena
utilities ($47,404).
The recreation committee has
budgeted to replace the pool liner at
the BMG pool at a cost of $4,800.
Other capital expenses include
$4,700 for a fryer for french fries,
$3,000 for gravelling a new parking
lot behind the arena (the cost being
kept down by volunteer labour),
installation of an electronic thermo-
stat/ temperature probe on the are-
na's refrigerating brine pump and
compressor at $2,000, repair of the
condenser fan at $1,000 and pur-
chase of a fax machine/copier at
$900. The committee will also
transfer $10,000 to reserves for
future capital needs, replacing
$10,000 taken out of reserves in
1995 to pay for the arena ceiling
renovation.
