CAMPBELL, C.A.,TREASURER 40 TEMPERANCE STREET TEL.(416) 623-3379 BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 REPORT TO THE SPECIAL GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 11, 1985 REPORT NO. : TR-8-85 SUBJECT: 1985 CURRENT AND CAPITAL BUDGET RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following : 1. That this report be received; and 2. That the 1985 Capital and Current Budgets for local municipal services be approved; and 3. That the Public Works 1985 budget, which is supported in part by the 1985 MTC subsidy allocation be approved and the submission of a request for a 1985 supplement- ary subsidy from MTC to meet construction costs for the Baseline Road be made by the Treasury Department; and 4. That the Newcastle Hydro Electric Canmission be requested to present to Council a policy outlining the service levels for street lighting in Orono, Newcastle and Bowmanville; and r�� _ 2 _ TR-8-85 5. That the Treasurer of the Town of Newcastle be authorized to make application to MTC for a subsidy allocation for Handi Transit for the 1985 budget. BACKGROUND AND COMMENT: Assuming a general surplus of $440,000, the 1985 general municipal mill rate is 4.1% higher than the 1984 general mill rate. We have been able to hold the line on the mill rate for a number of reasons being: ( a) a slightly higher surplus in 1984 . ( b) useage of reserve funds to finance appropriate proj ects. ( c) 1 .4% growth in the taxable assessment. ( d) general restraint in the budget in 1985 and prior years. The 1985 mill rates which result from the budget as presented are shown on the attached schedules. Because of changes in the cost to provide street lighting and garbage collection, the area rates have experienced some substantial increases in 1985. The mill rate schedule indicates the impact that a $200,000 municipal building levy and a $83,334 levy for the hospital have on the 1985 General Municipal Mill Rate. Those two levies comprise 6.9% of the General Municipal Mill Rate and represent a cost of $5.68 and $13.63 representively to the average residential tax payer in 1985. By itself, the General Municipal Services Levy for . 3 TR-8-85 1985 has experienced a 3.1% decrease. The overall mill rate for municipal purposes represents 4.1% increase over 1984. The average residential taxpayer in 1985 will pay $278.95 in taxes as opposed $267 .96 in 1984. Revenue: The government grants have been conservatively budgetted , as we have not received any indication as yet regarding any increases in funding. The MTC grant has been budgetted at the same level as in 1984 plus a supplementary. The Unconditional Grant Revenue Guarantee has been budgetted for a 1 .5% increase over the 1984 1 evel . These items can be adjusted when more current information is available. Building and plumbing permits have been increased by 100% over the 1984 level to reflect the current activity. Penalties and Interest on Taxes and Investrment Income have been increased to still be conservative, but to more closely reflect our expectations giving consideration to the number of unknown factors effecting those two figures. 4 TR-8-85 There are numerous contributions from reserve funds and Ontario Hydro to fund capital projects in the Public Works Department, the Fire Department and the Planning Department. Expenditures: The salaries and benefits have been budgetted using the 1984 salary and benefit schedules. Ar. amount to cover the salary settlements has been provid,,d in the contingency account. Additions to staff have been 1 im-i ted to an additional inspector in the Building Inspection Department and the conversion of a part time secretary to a full time secretary in the Fire Department. There are four retirements scheduled in 1985, which result in payouts of accumulated sick benefits and vacation pay. Tax write offs are again budgetted fairly high to offset possible losses due to major reassessment cases which are pending. The donation to the hospital of $250,000 over a three year period, also has a substantial impact on the mill rate. In general , staff have attempted to follow Council ' s direction in minimizing increases wherever possible.
