United Counties: mayors want zero tax increase "$56"- * 5 r /&84 GREGG CHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca

previous counties council had turned down the roads transfer deal withHawkesbury and Clarence-Rockland last year, the UCPR bud- get for this year would still need a two-per cent tax increase on the public levy to cover all the items listed in the preliminary report. Parisien told council that he and the de- partment heads just need specific direction from the mayors about their budget vision for the UCPR this year. Counties council directed administration to try and achieve a zero-per cent tax inc- rease for the 2015 budget or at least limit any increase to two per cent. Administration will present a revised budget report to counties council January 28. The goal is to have the

Counties staff have their marching orders from themayors representing all themuni- cipalities in Prescott-Russell. Find a way to keep the tax rate increase for this year’s counties budget at zero per cent again or at least hold the line at two per cent. “What would you like to see?,” Warden Robert Kirby asked his fellowmayors, after counties council received the preliminary draft of the 2015 budget during the January 14 committee of the whole session. “Ideally, I’d like to see zero per cent,” said Mayor Gary Barton of Champlain Township. His quick response was echoed all along the counties council table, though mayors Fernand Dicaire of Alfred-Plantagenet Township and François St-Amour of The NationMunicipality allowed that repeating the past two year’s trend of a zero-per cent tax rate hike for the counties budget might be difficult, given some of the extra capital maintenance duties that the United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR) has taken on since last year. “It would be very hard to achieve,” St- Amour said, “sincewe downloaded the roads.” Mayor St-Amour referred to a decision that the previous counties council made to allow for a road exchange between the UCPR and the Town of Hawkesbury and the City of Clarence-Rockland. The roads that the counties took over responsibility for will require some expensive upgrading work, creating an estimated $4.2 million bump to the capital works portion of the budget. Also, the previous counties council agreed that present and future county roads will have their shoulders paved to help make themmore bicycle-friendly. “If you don’t like that number,” St-Amour said to his fellow mayors, “we can always re-open the roads file.” St-Amour noted that the decision opens the discussion door for another look at fu- ture improvements to the Prescott-Russell Recreational Trail, among other issues. He expressed doubt that the UCPR can have a zero-per cent budget again this year. “I would say two per cent or less,” he said. Barton also noted that counties council is just at the start of its budget review process and all themayors need to read through the preliminary budget report first before they can make proper informed comments to staff about proposed operations and capital works costs. “I would like to have more information too,” saidMayor Guy Desjardins, of Clarence- Rockland. The preliminary budget report proposed a four-per cent tax increase to the public levy to cover all the listed operational and capital works expenses for Prescott-Russell during 2015. Stéphane Parisien, UCPR chief administrator, told council that, even if the

2015 budget approved by mid-February to allow the UCPR to get its public tenders out for bid early and take advantage of the chea- per bidding from many construction and

supply outfits at the beginning of the year. The UCPR has until the end of April to adopt its final property tax rates schedule for 2015.
