On y retrouvera également de l’information sur la collecte des ordures ménagères ou les collectes spéciales et sur plusieurs autres su- jets touchant la municipalité. Un calendrier détaillé a aussi été inséré dans les pages du guide. On y retrouve également l’horaire de Russell Transpo. «Le mandat que nous nous étions donné, explique Melany Chrétien, l’agente de com- munication de Russell, était d’informer la But the combined water and sewer ser- vice user fee will increase by just two per cent next year instead of 4.82 per cent as recommended in the preliminary budget report. During last month’s two-day line item review of the budget, council told ad- ministration to find ways to either reduce the water-and-sewer fee increase to two per cent or eliminate the increase altogether. The administration report also included suggestions for dealing with a tanker truck replacement issue for the Russell Fire De- partment. If council chooses not to go ahead with a $160,000 allocation in the budget for purchase of the vehicle, then there are four possible options for using the money.

EMBRUN | No change to the property tax increase but residents may not see as big an increase to their water and sewer rates as was planned. Russell Township administration pre- sented council with an update brief on the 2014 municipal budget report during the Nov. 4 committee of the whole session. The brief noted that the proposed 3.48 per cent increase in the property tax rate should remain part of the 2014 budget. That will allow for a needed increase in the municipal levy portion of the budget to cover regular operation increases for town- ship services, program, and staff salaries along with a $170,000 increase to the infra- structure portion of the budget.
