The proposed increase will provide the ROCK the flexibility with financial resources to respond to significant emergencies or deal with facility developments as necessary.
ALTERNATIVES: Council can choose not to consent to the Amending Bylaw No. 2662. The Recreation Commission will only be able to tax to the limits set in Bylaw No. 1909.
IMPLICATIONS:
(1) Social This increase will allow the Commission to respond to emerging issues in a timely manner but with legislative limits in place to control spending. (2) Environmental NIA
(3) Personnel NIA (4) Financial The additional room to tax does not necessarily mean a tax increase. It only gives the Commission the ability to tax if it deems it to be necessary.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS: Legislation under Regulation 113107 allows bylaws to be amended and increased through consent of the participants (Castlegar, Area I and Area J).
IMPLEMENTATION/COMMUNICATION:
