The goal is to allow municipalities to go to tender for insurance and natural gas purchases for social housing projects. The EOWC also wants improvements to the medical priority dispatch system to increase efficiency for ambulance service. A dedicated provincial fund for roads and bridges is on the minds of caucus members for future infrastructure improvement needs. The EOWC will also continue to lobby the province for changes to the farm and managed forest property tax system. Some prudent and cost-effective spending last year may pay off with a small surplus for Alfred-Plantagenet Township. The township’s 2011 financial summary suggests that the municipality may have finished the year with a $250,000 in leftover budget funds.
