Council supported the resolution that was initiated by Amabel Township, near Sauble Beach. The resolution asks the provincial government to initiate one of two alternatives - "to set up a licencing fee to campgrounds based on 80 per- cent of the total sites licenced at a maximum fee of $15 per site. This fee could be collected from the camp- ground operator. Those municipalities which feel there is no inequity in the present system would obviously have the alternative of not charging a fee." The second proposal suggested, "That the province make provision in their grant calculations to reflect, this permanency in campgrounds. Once again the number would be arrived at • by using a factor of 80 percent of sites licenced. Make a direct grant based on 50 percent of the current per household grant (fi30 per household, 1986 figure). These numbers could be confirmed to and checked by the pro- vincial assessors or alternatively through the Municipal Licencing System." Three different camping grounds are situated in Stanley Township and for that reason the proposals and resolutions from Amabel Township were sent to the municipal council here. Amabel Township Council is seek- ing support for its resolution as the Minister of Municipal Affairs has in- dicated that if the support can be gathered for this initiative, tie would be prepared to have his ministry chair meetings of concerned parties. Amabel Township Council initiated the proposal because it was felt by council members that there was an "obvious inequity between municipal revenues derived from campground operations, as compared to regular cottage areas." A letter on the subject, sent to Stanley Township Council noted, "Municipal taxation is not the answer as it would be both very cumbersome to administer and could very well payers, whereby it is not always reverse the inequity, to cause an un- possible to supply an adequate level due hardship on the trader owner or on maintenance from tax revenues to campground owner." meet the current operation needs. The letter further noted that while Stanley Township Clerk Mel camping grounds helped bring Graham agreed, noting, "We feel that tourists to the area, it was further they (campgrounds) give enough tax noted, "We feel it is also important dollars to us." that the municipalities involved have the resources available to create those community facilities which will attract and enhance tourism. We presently feel that the inequity is causing an undue burden on our tax - ad% it ea North CAFE Exet 190 Main Ster . 5.0453 Open 24 hours, 7 days a week Cakes Cakes Cakes made to order.
