Counties council turns budget cut request
he is reluctant to vote against the second consecutive zero-per cent tax rate budget that counties administration has managed to achieve. “I can’t change my position,” Kirby said. “I’m going to support zero per cent.” St-Amour’s request received sympathetic support from Clarence-Rockland Mayor Marcel Guibord and Champlain Township Mayor Gary Barton, though Barton noted that the counties council has to make sure administration has “clear direction” what to do with the budget tax rate. UCPR council voted 5-3 to maintain the 2014 budget as is with no further change to the zero-per cent property tax rate pro- posed. St-Amour said during a later inter- view that he can accept the decision. “I knew I was bringing a subject like that late in the game of the budget process,” he said. “But we had a good frank discussion.” The Nation council is still working on its own 2014 budget plan with at least one more review session planned for Novem- ber. Mayor St-Amour hopes that his munici- pality can have budget approval before the end of this year so it too can get an early jump on tenders for capital projects and save money during the bid process. He also hopes that the UCPR will be able to maintain its zero per cent budget tax rate record for another few years because that will also help landowners in rural munici- palities like his. “The end result would be the same,” St- Amour said.
council (UCPR). He expressed sympathy with St-Amour’s argument that trimming the counties’ share of the 2014 property tax by another 2.5 per cent would help ru- ral municipalities like The Nation, which are already trying to keep their budgets and tax rates as low and tight as possible for the benefit of their residents. But changing the zero-per cent property tax rate increase for the 2014 UCPR bud- get to a minus 2.5 per cent decrease would mean trimming the municipal levy portion of the budget by close to a million dollars. That could mean postponing final ap- proval of the 2014 UCPR budget to either December or early in the new year while administration tried to figure out possible cuts to either the daily operations or capi- tal works portions of the budget. That could affect the ability of the counties to take ad- vantage of early budget approval through cheaper contract bids on road works and other capital projects from an early jump on next year’s public tendering process. St-Pierre noted that both the UCPR and his own township have benefited that way because of early budget approvals. He sug- gested the counties council and adminis- tration look into other options to help The Nation and other municipalities rather than make a sudden further reduction in the 2014 budget proposal. Mayor Robert Kirby of East Hawkesbury supported St-Pierre’s argument. While East Hawkesbury is a rural community, Kirby noted that it has managed well enough and

L’ORIGNAL | The counties budget will stand fast at the zero per cent tax rate in- crease as planned. But a request from The Nation Mayor François St-Amour could have seen the first negative tax rate in- crease ever for the counties. St-Amour presented his fellow mayors during the Nov. 13 committee of the whole session with a resolution from The Nation council asking for a 2.5 per cent reduction to the zero per cent tax rate hike proposed in the 2014 counties budget report. After a long discussion the counties council turned down the request. “I amprepared to support the budget as it

is,” said Mayor Jean-Paul St-Pierre of neigh- bouring Russell Township. Mayor St-Pierre was one of the first to declare his support last month for the ze- ro-per cent tax rate increase proposed in the preliminary budget report presented to the United Counties of Prescott-Russell
Hunting accidents prompt police warning Three accidental shootings in the woods of Eastern Ontario have prompted a plea from the OPP for hunters to take more care this season. The incidents occurred in the upper part of the region and no fatalities were reported but police are concerned that similar “close call” accidents have happened in other counties while the fall hunt continues. Hunters are reminded to wear their fluorescent red warning vests or simi- lar brightly coloured clothing while out in the woods and to take time to ensure of their target before shooting. Also review and practise general firearms safety while out hunting. Details on weapon safety and also current hunting rules and regulations for the region are available at www.mnr.gov.on.ca or at www.ohep.net.
