Stanley taxes
up 5.5 percent
STANLEY TWP. - The final draft of the
1985 township budget was set at $1,695,572, a
5.5 per cent increase over last year's
budget. According to Stanley Township
Clerk Mel Graham, there were no major in-
creases or decreases, but the uncertainty of
Amtpenes for the township's newly built
Igibmplex has left some areas "dicey."
The residential and farm mill rate for
public school supporters has increased 5.3
per cent, bringing the figure to 284.50. Based
on a $3,000 assessment, a taxpayer in this
category will pay' $853.50, or $43.14 more
than last year.
The same separate school supporter will
face a 5.7 per cent mill increase. They will
be required to pay $855.78, up $46.,44 from
1984.
The commercial public school supporter
will pay $1,006.44, up 5.3 per cent over last
year's figure of $953.34, an increase of
$53.10.
The same separate school supporter will
see their mill rate increase from 317.38 to
336.18 mills. This means a dollar increase of
$56.40 on 1984's figure of $952.14, bringing
the 1985 total to $1,008.54.
Breaking down the budget, there are three
significant expenditure increases alnd two
areas where the expenditures have been
decreased by a substantial amount.
Due to the construction of the new
Township of Stanley Community Complex,
an Ontario Hydro Municipal Office account
has been opened to cover the hydro costs.
The account has $8,000 to cover the year.
Material and supplies for the Brucefield
Fire Department has increased $6,501 over
last year's figure of $8,499.
"The Brucefield Department has bought
Alk
pagers. Tuckersmith will pay 50 per.
cent of the cost and we will pay the other
half," explained Clerk Graham.
Including the salaries, the township has
budgeted $22,200 for the Brucefield Fire
Department, $12,500 for Bayfield, $1,800 for
Clinton and $4,800 for the Zurich Fire
Department.
The reserve account for working funds
will have $12,000 in it this year. Last year the
account was empty.
"This reserve fund is used when we need
to spend money before taxations are col-
lected,'.' said Clerk Graham. •`Last year we
were trying to build ( the complex) so that
account was left empty."
To offset the working fund increase,. the
building funds expenditure has been.
decreased by $40,000, making the figure
$90,000.
Another major decrease is,the interest on
temporary borrowing. Council expected this
expenditulre to run no higher than $40,000,
compared to last year's actual figure of
$41,966.
On the revenue side, council expects to
collect $19,276 more this year on street
lights, the water system, residential, com-
mercial and business taxation. The pro-
ected figure for 1985 is $326,374.
It is also estimated that township Fevenue
for use of the complex for parties and sale of
pop, juice and proceeds from the bar will be
$12,000.
Unconditional grants are forecast at
$60,721, up $3,621 from the 1984 figure of
r57,10. The were
reduced by township's $10,300, making ng i anthe total
$180,700.
"Last year we had a larger supplemen-
tary, so we received a larger grant," ex-
plained Mr. Graham.
An overall view of the budget doesjl not •
show any drastic increases or decreases,
however, this is the first budget with the
completed Stanley Township •Community
Complex, therefore expenditures and
revenues connected with the building are
uncertain.
