Delegations Mr. A. E. Hart, Wilmot Creek Homeowners' Association, Box 42,
Group 1, R.R. 1, Newcastle, Ontario, LOA 1HO, submitted awritten
presentation to Council. The aim of the presentation was to
show that the budget of the Corporation of the Town of Newcastle
which is used to establish the base mill rate contains significant
cost items which should not be included in the base mill rate
calculation, which is applicable to the Wilmot Creek Development.
Any item in the transportation category that covers costs dealing
with streets and any services associated therewith are not valid
items to be included. The Wilmot Creek Development paid for its
own street construction and paving. Any street reconstruction
and repaving will be paid for from the maintenance fee that the
Wilmot Creek residents pay.
The same concept applies to Environmental Services. Wilmot
Creek Development have their own recreational centre, swimming
pool, tennis courts, etc. In conclusion, the Association
proposes that a review of the Town's budget of approximately
$21.2 million with consideration as rteuestedin into account,
should reduce the figure by approximately $ e millthat the
lower figure be used for establishing the Wilmot Creek base mil ely
rate. This would result in a mill rate reduction of approx
