In an unprecedented move, the 1993 Budget Committee reconâ€" vened in the heat of July to wrestle with financial matters members thought they‘d put to rest months ago. After hours of deliberation, a total of $481,000 was trimmed from this year‘s spending, or $55,000 more than the amount mandated by the Rae government. (The issue of $50,000 in renovations to Trafalgar Park will be settled by Council on July 12th.) By HOWARD MOZEL Oakville Beaver Staff Forced by the provincial Expenditure Control Plan (ECP) to trim an additional $426,000 from its 1993 budget, the Town met â€" and actually exceeded â€" that goal Tuesday night.

PuUD wrapped, such as savings negotiated with the Town‘s insurance carrier ($23,538) to diminished consumpâ€" tion by more fuel efficient Fire Department vehicles ($2,000.) Reduced operating hours for Oakville Transit as a result of GO Transit cutbacks alone accounted for substantial savings. Reconstruction of Belyea Street and renovations to the Woodside Library, however, will go ahead as planned. Tuesday‘s meeting did not tackle the Social Contract component of NDP reductions which are expected to impact the Town to the tune of approximately _ $1.2â€"million.

Town Manager Harry Henderson agreed, saying the Town would examine reduced service before increasing taxes. In an effort to deal with all this, each Town department submitted proposed cuts to Henderson who in turn recommended $530,000 worth to the Budget Committee. Among them was $138,200 in deferred or eliminated capital projects. The novel Problem Solving Task Force headed up by Ward 5 councillor Liz Behrens also came up with 62 "sugâ€" gestions" totalling more than $900,000. All, of course, were not implemented. Reaction to the Task Force‘s recâ€" ommendations were mixed. FORG (Federation of Residents Groups) spokesman Ian Croskell said he was "inspired but somewhat disilluâ€" sioned" by some of the suggestions but requested "urgent implementaâ€" tion" by the Town of the group‘s more clearlyâ€"defined propositions. pUJI YIAVAG 4TIANMV _CAW Local 1256 chairman Willie Lambert, representing Oakville Transit Workers, rattled a few cages by calling for less manâ€" agement and more frontâ€"line workâ€" ers to service the public.
