4.25 per cent. The owner of an average residence, assessed at $136,699, will pay $1,520.39 in property taxes this year. Last year, the owner of a $132,717 home paid $1,530.50. The township’s share of this bill has inc- reased from $632.36 to $650.88 while the counties’ cut has decreased from $616.78 to $592.01 and the school boards’ portion has dropped from $281.36 to $277.50. Property evaluation increases have been phased in since 2008. Taxpayers whose homes’ evaluation has not increased by more than 3 per cent will benefit from tax reductions. However, those

whose properties have increased in value by more than 3 per cent will pay an average of $65 to $95 more this year. The owner of a waterfront residence evaluated at $380,736 in 2008 paid $4,629 in 2013. This year, with an assessment of $422,086, the bill will climb to $4,694. The owner of farmland assessed at $100,000 in 2008 paid $402 last year. This year, the evaluation will rise to $179,500, increasing the bill to $499. St-Eugène, Ste-Anne and Chute-à-Blondeau residents will pay $550 per household for sanitary sewage sys- tems, the same amount they paid last year. Garbage collection and recycling service fees will stay at $191 per household. This year, the municipality intends to spend $1,175,627 on roads, compared to the 2013 actual expenditure of $1,096,780. General government will cost $494,000, compared to $440,554 in 2013. Police services will cost $409,390, compared to $347,005. The fire department has been allotted $184,535, compared to $208,852, while recreation has been allocated $109,556, compared to $119,860. Report gets “Alleluia!” RICHARD MAHONEY RICHARD.MAHONEY@EAP.ON.CA PLEASANT CORNER | “Alleluia!” Champlain Township Mayor Gary Barton rejoiced when an evaluation of the township’s 10 bridges, culverts and guiderails was presented to council Wednesday. “That is good news. They are all up to scratch,” said the mayor. Although the magnitude of required work may not warrant rehabilitation in the short or medium term, “it is recommend- ed that these be considered for a regular maintenance program in order to arrest deterioration and delay the need for future major rehabilitation,” reads a report pre- pared by HP Engineering. “It should be noted that, if the identi- fied repair/rehabilitation needs are not addressed in the short to medium term, deterioration will progress and this may re- sult in a significant increase in construction costs,” the firmwrites. The replacement val- ue of the six bridges, one culvert and three guiderails that were inspected in the Fall of 2013 would be about $3.39 million. However, immediate repairs for all 10 bridges, culverts and guiderails would be $180,000, which would consist of $160,000 for bridges and $20,000 for guiderails. The short-term repair costs, for work to be carried out in one to five years, would be $350,000 -- $250,000 for bridges and culverts and the balance for guiderails. Over the longer term, six to 10 years, re- quired improvements would total $50,000. The bridge management study was pre- pared to enable the municipality to proj- ect budgets and set priorities for future bridge, culvert and guiderail rehabilita- tion / replacement programs. More ac- curate cost estimates for each structure’s needs would be provided based on more detailed scopes of work developed during the detailed investigation and design engi- neering stages.
