es ge gt SO ee ee a ee Oe ke ee eR ee ee tO le Rn a ce eee re by Adrienne Graham Gardner Tiny Township council has set the 1982 municipal budget at $3,603,283. This represents an 11 per cent increase over last year's budget. "Only 21.78 percent of this total levy will be used for township general purposes, in- cluding roads, and are the only funds that Council have direct control over,' ac- cording to treasurer Sue Gignac. The vast majority of taxes (68.43 percent) is collected by the municipality on behalf of the various school boards. However, the municipality has no control over education costs or spending. Although school board levies increased modestly (public 13 percent, Secondary nine percent and Separate twelve percent), the Simcoe County levy was up a whopping 28 per- cent over last year. Building picture not that pretty... Twenty building permits were issued in Midland last month for construction valued at $129,300. In May 1981 there were 18 issued for a total of $289,400. To date a total of 48 permits have been issued this year in Midland for con- siruction valued at $602,600 During the same period in '81, 59 were issued for a value of $796,500. Tiny's budget UP 11 per cent only 21.79% of it will be used by township The County levy of $355,256 represents 9.86 percent yiny's total levy for 1982, and is used for general 'county pur- poses, including roads. Tiny -Finance Chairman John Butler commented 'Year to year we're covering up for increases in levies over which we have no control,"' in making his budget report to council. Tiny Reeve Morris Darby agreed: "We're subsidizing the county and school boards with our budget." Earlier ,Jast month, Tiny endorsed a resolution by Midland council calling for direct taxation by _ school boards and otehr bodies. Midland's resolution said "the inclusion of these outside requirements in municipal tax bills tends to undermine the principle of political accountability by confusing in a single bill, three different taxes for three different purposes, by three different taxing authories."' Garbage collection rates in Tiny have been set at $22.50 per unit for 1982. Mill rates in Tiny will be as follows: Residential public school supporters 186.98, residential separate school sup- porters 186.61, com- mercial separate school 219.54.
