Friday, October 29, 1999 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER Town wants input on budget Anyone interested in influencing next year's Town of Oakville budget should take note o f the following meeting dates for the 2000 Budget Committee. The public is invited to participate on Nov. 3rd from 6 to 11 p.m.; Nov. 6th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Nov. 9th from 6 to II p.m.; Nov. 11th from 6 to 11 p.m. (if required); Nov. 13th from 9 a.m. to noon (if required). The committee chair is Ward 3 councillor Keith Bird, who says he will keep an eye on two guiding prin ciples: to meet the expectations of cit izens and to bring in a budget of less than the rate o f inflation. Public involvement, therefore, is essential. Front and centre will be the process of implementing such "strategic direc tions" imposed by Council as the Master Fire Plan, the Iroquois Ridge Library, dredging and seawall replace ment, the Inform ation Technology Plan, the Iroquois Ridge Recreation Centre and Town H all's expansion. According to the Preliminary 2000 Budget, the impact o f Council's strate gic directions total just over $1.2 mil lion, for a total forecasted tax levy change of 2.3%. Implementation of the strategic directions alone would result in a tax rate increase of about 0.6% on the total residential tax bills and 0.4% of the total commercial/industrial tax bills, which also includes regional and education tax rates. For a home assessed at $250,000, this works out to an increase of about $21 in 2000. tf you have a news tip or story idea, call the Oakville Beaver at 845-3824.
