The Township council will begin to wrestle with the 1979 operating budget this week, as the Finance Committee has scheduled a meeting for this Friday morning. Assessment Changes Scugog council will start to et its teeth into the thorny iSsue of equalized assess- ment at the next regular meeting slated for April 9. Officials from the provin- cial assessment office will be at the afternoon session of that meeting to explain exactly what equalized assessment entails. It is a complicated and potentially controversial issue, as Uxbridge Township found out this year when the assessment on certain older properties in that municipal- ity jumped considerably, - while other assessments actually went down. Contribution Council agreed to make a $200 contribution from the Township to the Harper family fund, set up in the wake of a tragic fire earlier this year in Caesarea. The decision to do so was. based on the fact the Mrs. Harper is an employee of the Township, and according to councillor Reg Rose who made the motion, "any responsible employer would do the same thing when an employee experiences this kind of hardship." Consultants Totten, Sims, Hubicki, the engineering and planning firm that acts as consultants for the Township, received a vote of confidence from members of council at a meeting with Mr. Ted Sims and Ron Patchell of the company's subdivision branch. Members of council a the consultants agreed cism on the part of develop- ers over delays in getting final approvals for sub- divisions, but council felt that this criticism was not substantiated. In hey to prevent mis- understandings, council has asked the company to provide the Township with a monthly status report of "each development underway in the municipality. Mr. Sims noted that there are currently 23 active sub- division developments in Scugog, a very high number for a municipality this size, and with this "amount of activity, he said it would be unrealistic not to expect a' few complaints. Councillor Reg. Rose told Mr. Sims that he has no complaints about the service the Township is getting from the company. Following the discussion with company officials, council agreed that it would ask developers to post a 100 per cent letter of credit, and not demand a partial cash bond to guarantee that the terms of any development in the municipality are met. New administrator (From Pagel) the: Committee came to the conclusion it is time to bring in a senior municipal execu- tive. He said he expected that the salary range for this position would be in excess of $20,000 per year.
