tax increase By SHEILA MCGOVERN Examiner Staff Reporter Simcoe County residents face an average $5445 in crease in education taxes this year according to preliminary budget presented Wednesday by the Simcoe County Board of Education The increase which equals just over 25 per cent will raise taxes on home assess ed at 320000 to $26979 from $1534 in 1975 on an average The preliminary budget calls for total expenditure of $63290631 in 1976 up from $57433383 in it 75 an 115 per cent increase Bill Straughan chairman of the budget committee said the increase in the tax rate is due to three main factors steadily increasing enrol ment increases in expen ditures over which the board has no control and is reduce tion in grant support by the provincial government An increased enrolment of 800 students in 1975 and similar increase in 1976 adds about $1 million to the budget Mr Straughan said Increases over which the board has limited control in clude salary increases and staff additions already com mitcd in 1975 up $5161000 transportation up $598592 fringe benefits including HIP up$542155 insurance up $27000 and utilities up $314000 Although these and other large increases affect 1976 ex pcnditures Mr Straughan said the provincial govern ment has drastically reduc ed its level of grant support automatically transferring much of the tax burden to local ratepayers AFFECT BOARD The provincial cutbacks af fect the board in two main areas Jack Ramsay director of education said costs at the elementary and secondary school level have increased by 16 to 18 per cent Provincial government ceilings at the elementary level have increased by 17 per cent but this is one area the board has remained under the ceilings At the secondary level the board was just under by the skin of its teeth Mr Ram say said and the provincial ceilings are eight per cent The cutback in the secon dary grant will mean the lx1ard has exceeded the limits by about $1 million which must be passed on to the tax payer directly Mr Ramsay said he did not believe the provincial govern ment expects school boards to live within the secondary ceilings But the major cutbacks come in the area of extra ordinary expenditures transportation and deben turc costs where the grant rate has been cut to 75 per cent from 95 per cent Mr Ramsay said the cut amounts to 65 per cent reduction in Simcoe Countys grant rate and 65 per cent of our current budget is heck ofa lot of money With the cutback in provin cial grants the board had originally forecast 40 per cent increase in the tax rate but adopted standpat budget and reduced expen ditures by $2900000 REDLCTIDNS INCLUDE The reductions included deletion of certain non recurring maintenance pro jects $651926 deferring half the construction cost of Bradford secondary school into 1977 $557073 reducing school budgets by 23 per cent $518478 deletion of con tingency $355000 reduc tion of services in the non teaching departments in cluding reductions in supply staff and overtime $257424 and reducing ongoing maintenance projects such as Strike benefits Toronto taxpayer Simcoe County residents cannot compare local educa tion tax rate increases with those in Metro Toronto Jack Ramsay director of educa tion said Wednesday While the tax rate increase in Simcoe County is an average of $5445 according to the boards preliminary budget Toronto residents will only pay $5070 in crease Mr Ramsay pointed out however the Toronto board saved $131 million during 38day teacher strike and this saving must be passed on directly to the taxpayers Teachers salaries in Sim coe County again took the biggest chunk of the preliminary budget 71 per cent this year compared to 65 per cent last year The next major item is plant operations at nine per cent followed by debit charges at 61 per cent and transportation at six per cent The provincial government will again pay the largest share of the costs of the budget 545 per cent down from 61 per cent the previous ear if the preliminary dget is accepted The local tax requirement would amount to $25191745 of which Barrie would pay the largest share $2533063 followed by Orillia at $1189397 Innisfil is third at $1017393 and the surroun ding townships would pay $445388 in Oro $451819 in Vespra and $341350 in Essa Education budget open for officials Municipal officials from Simcoe County

shocked that Barrie council is asking the province to delay its decision on the townships official plan He said there are some sec tions and aspects of the pro posed official plan which can not be delayed and will be adverselcy affected if not ap proved as soon as possible Weve been pushing to get the official plan approved as soon as possible he said The city has never made any proposals to Innisfil or the surrounding townships about annexation Reeve Gibbins said the township is trying to arrange meeting with DArcy McKeough provincial treasurer and the minister of housing John Rhodes Ald Iim Perri city development committee chairman in Barrie said council is concerned about areas abutting Barrie which may become part of the city inthc future Official plans are very ex pensive to

plan should proceed The city planning board is also objecting to roposcd 29 residential lot su division in Innisfil just south of Bar ne COMMENIASKEI The ministry of housing asked the city to comment on the plan proposed north of Dock Street In answer the board said it recommends the plan not be approved because further urbanization of land which may become part of Barrie is considered premature The board also said urban services are not available and the watershed boun daries of the land are not defined The nature of the existing neighboring residences is clearly that of permanent type housing it said adding the plan is for seasonal residential housing Reeve Gibbins said the pro posalis for ermenant house ing as infi ling of an area partially developed Theres no doubt that will be used for yearar0und hous ing thats what were an ticipating he said dont think objecting to the will hurt the township The reeve said one of the main problems between the township and Barrie is the

communication and co operation between the two municipalities Ald Paul Wesssenger city development member said he could have more sym pathy with Innisfils position if the council was not pushing plan
