and remains fixed at that new level also difficult economic times sig nificantly increase the efforts required in such areas as arrears collections and in financial analy sis to support difficult and timely decisions no department was able to reduce its normal operating cost by 10 per cent and the treasury department increase was not the highest the guidelines of a 10 per cent reduction in every department was not an attainable goal due to the varying nature of the costs in different departments however on a townwide basis cuts were made to allow a 1 per cent overall tax increase to single out any department head without all the coirect facts was wrong in 1987 the council of the day had a 54 per cent increase and added an extra 1 per cent for road reserves this is not a new idea some residents objected to council spending reserves in 1992 to help with a 0 per cent increase the 2 per cent increase in 1993 will be placed in a rural roads reserve account and can only be used for this purpose and for no other expenditure including salaries this item was not dis- cussed behind closed doors fran sainsbury mayor dive into summer 14 x 28 pool incl gst 16 x 32 pool gst call today
