The Citizen, 1988-01-27, Page 8PAGE 8. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1988. Grey Twp. supports county tax reform Grey Township Council held its regular meeting on January 18 and one of the major topics of the meeting was the proposed county­ wide reassessment. Council de­ cided that the fairness of the proposed county-wide system out­ weighed the negative aspects of the system, and Council passed a resolution endorsing a county­ wide reassessment under either Section 63 or Section 70 of the Assessment Act, with preference being given to Section 70. A Section 70 reassessment would assess all properties on full market values(on a 1984base year) and would eliminate the present factoring system which is present­ ly used to reduce assessments. A Section 63 reassessment would still retain the present factoring system. The Section 70 system was favoured by Council over Section 63, because itwas felt that full market value assessment would be easier understood by ratepayers. The new system would mean an increase of 26 percent in taxes for a Grey township owner of a house assessed at $50,000 and a 10 per cent increase to the owner of a farm assessed at $90,000. The provin­ cial government will provide grantstohelpphasein the increase to property owners over a three year period. The 1988-89 insurance package was presented to Council for review by Keith Mulvey and Doug Sholdice of Cardiff & Mulvey Real Estate and David Reed, of Frank Cowan Company Limited. Several minor changes were requested and the insurance premium will amount to approximately $16,300, whichisafivepercent decrease from the 1987-88 premium. Council passed a by-law which appointed Gary Earl and Stewart Steiss as Fire Chief and Deputy Fire Chief respectively of the Grey Township Fire Department. The appointments were made neces­ sary when John Engel had asked to be relieved of his duties as Fire Chief because of work commit­ ments. Reeve Armstrong gave a report to Council on County Council briefs and business. In other business, Council approved a grant of $300 to the Brussels Agricultural Society for the 1988 Fall Fair.
