All residents of Clarington are entitled to equal 911 coverage, and none should have to pay extra for it. They would like to propose that all residential properties affected receive some sort of rebate on their tax bill to partially compensate for the expense and inconvenience of changing their addresses. They further propose that those businesses affected be permitted to submit invoices and a detailed explanation following a set criteria for reasonable expenses incurred in adapting to this change.
