Local taxpayers will have to pay 18.3 percent of this budget amounting to $1,114,- 955, while provincial grants will provide 79.5 percent amounting to $4,627,148, and the remaining 4.1 percent or $78,613 will be raised by mis- cellaneous revenue such as tuition fees from other boards. The projected tax increase will cost home owners in Huron and Perth counties an average of $15.00 based on an assessment of $5,000. Ronald Murray, board chairman, said, "It's a pret- ty good budget. We have cut as far as we could, especial- ly the property committee for the cutbacks made in maintenance." Jack Lane, superintendent of business and finance, ex- plained the percentage of in- creases in expenditures, partly due to a catch-up in inflation. He said the maintenance program shows an increase of 23.6 percent although it was cut by $15,- 000 leaving the amount to be 000spent in this program at $64,- The cuts included reduc- tion in the painting program, removal of fence projects and resurfacing of play areas. He said the painting program was indicated to be about five years behind. However, he said .this was one area the board could make cuts and yet not affect .the education program Plant operation showed an increase of 12.2 percent. One item here was a ;4,000 con- version from oil to gas planned for the heating system at St. James school, Seaforth providing the government comes through with the promised grant Last year the board con- verted two schools for a total cost to the board of 18,- 000 as no grant program was in effect in 1980. St. James is the last schodl to be con- verted as other schools are not in a "gas supply" area. A 11.1 percent increase in transportation expenditures has been set. Mr. Lane said but it could be that the budget in this area for $622,- 000 might not be sufficient to meet increasing costs such as operators' salaries, replacement of two buses at $45,000: Although there is sharing of busing with both the Huron County and Perth County boards of Education it still required 80 school buses total in the two coun- ties to transport the two- thirds of the school student body who require it. The increase in the . In- struction budget amounts to 8.9 percent. This part of the budget which includes teachers' salaries and classroom supplies has been set at $3,936,969 which is 67.6 percent, of the total budget. The increase in ad- ministrative , expenditures amounts to 3.79 percent. Goderich trustee Vincent Young said the board is spending just about at the maximum allowed by the ministry with expenditure per pupil at $1959. If more had to be spent it would have to come from the ratepayers. Mr. Young said. "It's good news for the local ratepayers." said Mr. Lane, "as $1730. is the maximum allowed per pupil but that this is adjustable according to the individual board due to such expenditures as special education costs which • allows increases of $1959. The board chairman said the average mill rate is lower than last year at 3.18 mills and this is due in part to increased assessment. Mr. Lane stated theincrease in assessment indicates the continued confidence in .the catholic shool board and the quality. of education main- tained. Mr. Lane said included in the budget is $10,000 to assist in the operation of a summer school program . at St. Patrick's school in Dublin and a library program in Stratford. Ministry approval is required but trustees hope assistance will be available to hire teachers and also college and secondary students in July and August for these projects. Following the meeting Mr. Lane was asked how the board ended up its 1980 year and he said with a deficit of $35,000. He said this was due to costs not budgeted for such as salaries which were higher than expected. He stated that while in r960 the board exceeded the maximum grantable ceiling, this year the board is right on ceiling. "We have re -organized the staff of 132 "full time equivalent teachers", and while enrolment is down by nine pupils in our system, we have 2475 pupils now," Mr. Lane said. "The ministry is recognizing 60 percent of the decrease of the nine students."
