PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Oct, 8, 1975 -- 7 Scugog Island Revised budget deadlines set by Region »® (continued organizations of Scugog Island and Manchester. New members, please plan to attend, to get familiar with the work. Sunday evening saw over 100 people gathering at the "*Head" Memorial Church for an old-fashioned "Har- vest Home Service. Actual- ly. only one-third were Island residents. - Others were former residents who wished to come back to the old memories. Then there were many new people who enjoy- .ed themselves so much, they promised a repeat visit next year. The music of the Lake Scugog Choir was outstand- ing as usual and made us forget all our problems. The decoration was in keeping with the season and occasion. The message by Rev. Preisler appealed to all ages and was much appreciated by everyone. The pie social and period of visiting added much to this annual event. This heritage church, though 115 years old, still fulfills its purpose. We hope to see all the "Head" U.C.W. members and their husbands at Red- man's tonight, where we have been invited to share in their recent. honour and recognition.

The proposal was present- ed by Finance Commissioner Jack Gartley, who expressed hopes it will prevent the long delays in setting budgets that the region's finance depart- ment has experienced in the two years since the inception of regional government. The proposal, which now will be forwarded for council approval, allows for later completion dates by cach of the region's departments - a move that Mr. Gartley said should allow an earlier 'real- istic" budget setting day in council chambers. Mr. Gartley told the com- mittee that in the past the department estimates were never presented within the time period set 'and, hope- fully, this year we are being a little more realistic in our "dates to eliminate that problem." --- "SCHEDULES Key completion dates in the budget scheduling are: --Deec. 19, for the standing committee or board review of the budget estimates and its recommendation to the fin- ance committee. --Mar. 12, finance commit- tee final review of the con- solidated budget estimates and preparation of that com- mittee's recommendation to council. --Mar. 17, regional coun- cil's consideration of the cap- ital and current budgets. Inits guidelines for the 1976 budget, and included in the recommendation to council, the finance committee pro- poses to ask all departments - to provide no increase in the levels of service with only two exceptions. Increases imposed by senior levels of government through changes in govern- mental programs op legis- lation and increases resul- ting from new programs which have received specific approval of council are the two exceptions. Each department and board will also be instructed to provide "only for those inflationary increases for commodities and services that are specifically known and are essential to main-- taining existing levels of service." The proposal asks tht Nis appropriations be ,z¢6ided for in departmental cstim- ates for theatquisition of new capita)-aSsets and also rules out-"major renovations or improvements except where necessary to maintain the existing level of service.
