G B council strikes
$115,000 o
A $15,000 road repair reserve
fund was struck from the Grand
Bend budget Monday night when
council tried to pare the expected
increase in the general levy to the
minimum.
Originally, the budget, which
was not made public, contained a
20 percent increase in the general
levy to each ratepayer with the
only frill item being the reserve
fund. Without the reserve fund,
the increase will be 15 percent.
Only one percent of the increase
is attributable to the municipal,
county and Ausable • Bayfield
• Conservation Authority in-
creases; the other 14 percent is
going to the school board said
Reeve Bob Sharen.
There is a possibility that the
increase could be reduced by
another five percent if the
Ontario Municipal Board ap-
proves a request by council to
allow them to take $10,000 from
their $70,500 working reserve
fund.
Sharen said this would be
unlikely because the $10,000
would drop the reserve working
fund below tax arrears and the
OMB would not allow it. Last
year, 17.6 percent of all taxes in
