Continued from page 1 time..." Bonnette said, add- ing they did reduce the potential tax increase down from the initial 10 per cent starting point. Bonnette also said he hopes to bring some changes to the budget proc- ess for next year to ensure councilors are more in- volved from the beginning. Thanking staff for the many hours they spent on the budgets, Bonnette said some might have felt a "little bat- tered and bruised" by the exercise, but he knows at the end that they can "hold hands and sing Kumbaya." Georgetown Councillor Ron Chatten was the lone politician to vote against the operating budget and its 5.8 per cent tax increase, argu- ing they could have "very easily" been in the 4 per cent range. "We have made no serv- ice cuts -- we've added, and. with a little effort we can shave down to just under five (per cent)," Chatten said, without suggesting any further cuts after his at- tempt to use part of a transportation reserve fund to pay for part of a new pavement management pro- gram was rejected by the budget committee. Regional Wards One and Two Councillor Clark Somerville said he was "not happy" with the tax increase, but would support it. "J don't think anybody can say that we haven't given, that we haven't gone over it very thoroughly...we have made cuts," Somerville said, adding the budget included cuts recommended by the chief administrative officer and budget committee to- talled two per cent. Highlights of this year's $16.9-million operating budget include: A commitment to dedi- cate a 2 per cent tax increase, or $320,000, in each of the next five years to pay for road improve-- ments using an unexpected $155,000 windfall in GST payments the Town will not have to make to Ottawa, to decrease the budget by 0.9 per cent the addition of $72,900 for a pesticide re- duction plan approval of $115,000 for two additional fietesti-eht-e 1s limplementation of a new pay-as-you go plan to fi- nance capital projects instead of relying on debt. Treasurer Ed DeSousa anticipates 5 to 7 per cent increases in the operating budgets in the next two years due to a number of factors including the 2 per cent tax increase for road improvement costs, in- creased rates for hydro and natural gas, and additional fire department staff. The budget committee also approved the capital fore- casts to 2006,when the current term of council ends. The committee moved accel- erating a $390,000 Georgetown road improve- ment project to next year's capital budget from the 2007 capital forecast. The capital budget for this year is $6.6-million, and the 2005 to 2013 capi- tal forecast totals $74.5-million. Warn of mail theft...
