The most recent wrangling stretched over a special administration and finance committee meeting and into regional council on June 29th, where the bylaw, approved in principle May 4th, came to a recorded vote with only two dissenters, Burlington councilor Bob Wood and Oakville councilor Kevin Flynn. The bylaw lowers residential charges by 9.7% from $5,212 to $4,706 on sinâ€" gleâ€"family detached units.
