THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON
REPORT
Meeting:
General Purpose and Administration Committee
File #: H/ h
Res.#:0/~.:s? 7-0/
Date:
June 4, 2001
Report #:
TR-42-01 File #:
By-Law #:
Subject:
RESPONSE TO ELECTIVE CONTRIBUTION
TO HOSPITAL FUNDING REQUEST
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following, FORTHWITH:
1. THAT Report TR-42-01 be received; and
2. THAT Region of Durham be advised that the Municipality of Clarington does not
support the elective funding request for hospital support.
Background:
1.0 The Municipality of Clarington Council received a request from the Region of Durham
(Attachment #1), to have local municipalities consider an elective funding proposal to
support hospitals.
2.0 The administrative burden would be significant and combined with the massive changes
in tax and assessment procedures and the problems associated with the prescribed tax
bill, lead to the conclusion that the request is not recommended.
3.0 In addition, as expressed by a number of Council Members, the initiation of this program
may ultimately lead to the introduction of hospital funding support through the property
tax bill.
4.0 Hospital funding has been a Provincial responsibility and in light of the potential for
health standards to be dependent on assessment wealth, any support on the realty tax
bill is not recommended.
5.0 The proposal put forward setting a 1 % target may affect contributions negatively if the
sponsor was inclined to give an amount greater than 1 % of the property tax bill.
