Proposed expenditures for 1977 will amount to $245,822 and pro- posed revenue will amount to $150,667. Money to be raised for general municipal purposes is $95,155. Councils also received note of a new method the Ministry of Transportation and Communica- tions (MTC) will be using to determine special assistance for winter maintenance. Originally a municipality would receive a subsidy alloca- tion on the amount by 'which the 1977 winter maintenance ex- penditure exceeded 120 per cent of the highest expenditure of the previous four years. Turnberry Township did not qualify for assistance under this arrange- ment. Now, municipalities whose winter expenditures exceeded the highest recorded over the last four years by more than the actual percentage increase in their 1977 maintenance allocation relative,,to 1976 may qualify. All amounts are expressed in 1976 dollars. Council felt they might qualify under this new program.
