(Photo by Azzopardi) Spending Curb Urged In Finance Forecast > BOWMANVILLE (Staff) -- Early in August, the Bowman- ville town council was presented with a five-year financial fore- cast for the town compiled by Clerk-Treasurer Jack Reid. The purpose of this projected program was to indicate to the municipality -- both officials and ratepayers -- the present financial istuation of the town and to probe the expected finan- cial situation of the town over the next five years. Along with the forecast itself are a series of recommenda- tions regarding particularly ex- penditure for capital works pro- grams. In its first stages, the fore- cast defines the position of the Town of Bowmanville in respect to debenture debt on capital works, as well as breaking down the per capita debs and tax levies recommended over the five-year span. The recommendations made are based on criteria for max- imum municipality debt drawn Commission of Finance, and by W. B. Bolton, Supervisor of the Municipal Auditing Branch, De- partment of Mi Altairs for Ontario. PER CAPITA DEBT It was their decision that the annual 'per capita debt for any municipality should not exceed will be $300.36. A second criterion suggested was that the total debenture debt for a municipality should not exceed 15 to 20 per cent of the taxable assessment. The forecast points out that, by the end of this year, the total debenture debt for Bow- manville will be 28.56 per cent of the taxable assessment. In terms of actual cash, this amounts to $2,267,781. Included in this figure are debentures on $400,000 for a sewage plant, and on the $68,000 industrial develop- ment program, as well as those taken out as part of Bowman- ville's share in joint municipal projects. The latter amounts to $493,578. A third point on which munici- pal financial positions are to be based is amount of tax levy paid against the annual deben- ture debt. A maximum of 20 per cent that in 1964, when repayment on this year's debenture begins, the tax levy on these debentures will exceed 28 per cent. CLOSE TO EXCESSIVE On the basis of this compari- son of the actual to the ideal, Mr. Reid has concluded that Bowmanville's 'present debt appears close to being excess- ive". By means of a table based on has pointed out that, if Bow- manville is to concur with the recommendations laid from the Federal and Provin- cial. governments, "no capital works, other than those of an essential nature should be undertaken before 1964". He has further recommended that the amounts necessary to conduct improvements on capi- tal works projects be based on an anticipated increase in as- sessment. By 'means of a table, Mr. Reid has extablished maxima for de- benture debt over the next ten years, basing his findings on projected increases in assess- ment which is in turn based on anticipated population increase. In order not to exceed the recommended $200 per capita debt he has proposed that no more than $243,797 be borrowed in 1964. The amount increases in accordance with the total tax- able assessment and in 1972 the predicted amount which the town will be able to borrow will be $1,393,099. This figure is established from an expected assessment of $11,736,600. The forecast cautions, how- ever that these figures, and those for the intervening years he down at the disposal of the Council. SIX POINTS major points, in the form of questions: tribution of the improvement to the welfare of the community? generally, or only some of the citizens, and will it create dis- advantages for some of the citi- zens? facilities provide needed serv- ices without renewal or replace- ment? JACK RE: progressive increase) are max- ima. WITHOUT DEBENTURES On this basis, Mr. Reid has recommended that future Coun- cils seek out means to carry on as many projects as possible without resorting to the issuing of debentures. Essentially, he has stated that the less the amount taken out in debentures, the less the mu- nicipality will have to pay out in interest on these debentures; therefore he recommends that all non-capital projcts such as street, sidewalk, and building maintenance, and 'as many capital projects as possible' be financed from the current rev- enue at the council's disposal. As ant indication of the amount of interest paid on loans by municipalities he has cited the following example: "The significance of the cost of borrowing money may be ap- BOWMANVILLT (Staff) -- In the section of his five-year fore- cast for Bowmanville, dealing with assessment, Clerk - Trea- urer Jack Reid has recommend- ed that future councils demand a '"'subdividers' development charge" of $200 per lot: He has considered the pur- poses of this charge to be five- fold: | It is designed to relieve the municipality of excessive costs consequential to new residen- tial development; it would de- fray the costs of building a school (or schools) which would be of benefit to the immediate residents of the subdivision. It would ease the provision ccsts of "residentia ameni- ties'; it would allow more property taxes to be spent for the general benefit. It would discourage the pre- mature buildsig of subdivisions. Mr. Reid has pointed out that the extra cost to the home-buyer approximates only 1.5 percent of the average building costs and would not 'materially in- crease mortgage or, down pay- ment". "This development. charge is placed in a special fund to be used only for purposes of pro- viding new schools, recreation facilities or amenities directly beneficial to residential areas:" ASSESSMENT The greater part of the sec- tion on assessment deals with the problems incurred in the in- crease of residential in porting in whole or part? revenues property values? the cost of the P nm to ities?" tions the capital works forecast years, with all projects subject Charge Proposed For Subdividers +/ing on serviced Jots. preciated when it is realized that it costs $174,360 to repay @ loan of $100,000 over 20 years at 6 per cent interest."

These new projent: would ne- cessarily include schools, roads, public utilities; police and fire protection; hospital, recreation and parking facilities. In order to relieve the burden of the taxpayer, councils have already taken steps to reduce the percentage of residential as- sessment, and to insure . that subdivision costs would not be- come entirely the responsibil- ity of the town. INDUSTRY ENCOURAGED Industrial expansion has been encouraged by the servicaig of an industrial area. The purpose of this project was to decrease residential assessment by in- creasing industrial assessment. The forecast indicates that in- dustrial and commercial. assess- ment will rise from about 30 percent of the total, as it is now, to 40 percent in 1972. The second method already implemented to reduce the tax burden is the bylaw which re- quires prospective subdividers to service their own land for housing. This bylaw was designed to discourage speculators and to prevent the establishment of "shanty-towns"' for persons un- willing to pay the costs of liv- in relation to the increase in population, Figures, based on an average growth since 1945 indicate that the population of Bowmanville will increase by 800 persons by 1967 and that 170 homes will be built in that period.
