January 15, 1996
a) The Municipality of Clarington is in the midst of transition from a largely
rural municipality to a fully urbanized one in the southern half, creating a
large assessment imbalance between Industrial/Commercial and
Residential proportionments, thus the grant reductions create a major
impact on our residential tax base.
b) Grant reductions to more northern municipalities are substantially less,
even though the Industrial/Commercial assessments are far greater than
those of Clarington, creating an advantage in ability to absorb grant
reductions without impacting the residential tax base.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the Municipality
of Clarington urge the Premier and the Minister of Municipal Mfairs and
Housing to review the Clarington grant reductions based upon the circumstances
as stated; and
THAT a copy of the foregoing resolution be forwarded to Terry Mundell,
President, Association of Municipalities of Ontario and John O'Toole, MPP,
