TR-16-89 Page 2
The original By-law #81-1 designates an area in the Village of Orono as
an Improvement Area. Section 16 of this by-law refers to the maximum
limits that can be imposed. Since the limits are changed from time to
time it would be appropriate to establish a separate by-law that deals
specifically with the maximum limit.
The following is a summary of the recent by-law amendments and
Orono B.I.A. budget and actual figures:
Year By-law Tax Limit Budgeted Actual
No. Authorized Tax Levy Levy
1984 81-1 $ 25,000 $ 3,000 $3,000.00
1985 81-1 25,000 4,500 4,500.00
1986 81-1 25,000 4,750 4,735.04
1987 81-1 25,000 5,000 5,261.00
1988 81-1 25,000 6,500 6,500.00
The limit set in the by-law is simply an authorized maximum. The budget
is set annually by the Orono B.I.A., and is subject to review and
approval by council in accordance with the Municipal Act Sec. 217 (10) .
It should be dealt with separately upon receipt of the B.I.A.'s request
for approval of it's 1989 budget.
The initial maximum limit was authorized at a level higher than the
current budget estimates so that the Town is not annually amending the
by-law to accommodate variance in the levy request. It has been adjusted
so as to more appropriately reflect the requirments of the Orono B.I.A.
Section 217(19) of the Municipal Act provides that before Council passes
a by-law specifying the maximum limits, notice of the proposed by-law
must be either:
a) published once a week for four weeks and passed after fourteen
days following the last publication
or
b) sent to each person occupying or using land in connection with
any business in the area, and passed after thirty days following
the last day of mailing the notices.

It is therefore recommended that the maximum limit of tax levy be set at
$20,000, and that the Clerk be authorized to publish notice of the
proposed by-law immediately for a period of four weeks and to bring forth
the by-law to Council for approval after fourteen days following the last
publication.
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation
