Staff Report P2009-010 was circulated by staff.
In response to questions from Council, Fire Chief Groeneveld advised that in order for
the employer to demonstrate responsibility in vessel-based rescue services, the Med
A3 certification was included in the estimated third party training costs.
(b) Staff Memorandum Number 12 regarding Proposed 2009 Budget.
The Treasurer circulated and reviewed the Memo#12 dated March 9. She advised that
the items had been incorporated in the budget document in accordance with Council
direction from the budget meeting held March 3rd.
She noted that, due to increased revenues from interest on outstanding taxes and
investments in 2008 year end totals, she had increased the 2009 estimates by$4,000
and $10,000, respectively.
She advised that$40,000 for parks equipment is included in the$754,386 to be raised
from the capital tax levy.
As the capital tax levy requirement was greater than the targeted tax levy by
$14,330, Council determined to utilize $14,000 from the unallocated provincial
infrastructure reserve to fund new street lights/street light renewal and reduce the tax
levy requirement by a corresponding amount. This permitted the 3% capital tax levy
targetted increase to be maintained.
