Fire on Nelson Street

Noisy cars, please be quiet! The arrival of warmer weather brings muscle cars and noisy cars on the roads. The Hawkesbury OPP Detachment has received many complaints regarding vehicles that emit noise levels that do not conform to the Ontario Highway Traffic Act. This problem contributes negatively on the quality of life for a majority of citizens. This summer, officers will be on the lookout for vehicles that infringe the law. Those found in contravention of section 75 of the HTA may be subjected to a fine totalling $110.00 and will be required to make adjustments to their vehicles in order to meet the provincial standards. Hawkesbury Budget Approved The Hawkesbury municipal council approved the 2015 budget on May 25, during the regular council meeting. The budget was discussed on May 13 with a final report mentioning a budget of $19,937,630, a decrease of $1,372,033 compared to last year. Several elements come into play for reducing expenditures, including the elimination of Director-General position and discontinuing the contributions to Pioneer Place, which generate a $214,681 savings. A decrease of more than $260,000 in expenses for the OPP contract also reduces the bill. The fire service salary expenditures remain high at $725,000, compared to approximately $675,000 last year. A balanced budget also means a drop of more than a million dollars in revenue for the city. The city is opting for caution in business development, budgeting a decline of more than $800,000 in building permits. The rate for restructuring ice time at the Robert Hartley Sports Complex, as well as the absence of a second ice for a second season could also lead to decreased income of $50,000, nearly $17,000 from minor hockey. A small decrease in municipal taxes will mean a small savings in taxes. According to the city, the average resident paid $1,792.07 in taxes in 2014. The new rate will create a savings of $36. – Diane Hunter No ecoLarose project means savings for Hawkesbury The United Counties of Prescott-Russell voted May 13, during its committee meeting, to cancel the proposed conference and environmental interpretation centre project and redirect the UCPR’s investment in the project to help member municipalities with their own budget needs. This means that investments made by local municipalities for the project will be returned. Hawkesbury will be receiving $402,400, which mayor Jeanne Charlebois said the council will need to confer to decide what to do with it. “We will take time to talk about it,” said Charlebois. “Most likely the money will be used to purchase a new municipal vehicle, or go towards the skate park. We will know more once the council has had a chance to talk about it.” While both the federal and provincial government expressed support for the project through the MP and MPP offices, there were no corresponding signs of financial backing. – Diane Hunter
