The proportion of the county levy varies among munici- palities but averages around 30% of the tax bill. On a house with an assessment of $300,00, the increase will be under $10. County councillors approval of the budget was com- plicated this year with the municipal election in October which saw the election of 17 new county councillors. County councillors spent two days this month reviewing the proposed budget which had initially proposed a two percent tax increase. A court decision to award the county $450,000 in added blue box revenues helped to drive the size of the tax in- crease.

Essa mayor Terry Dowdall, the county deputy warden, told county councillors that the county had worked very hard to reach the one percent increase in the levy. “For me, the difference between 1.00 and 1.06 per cent increase this year is pretty damn small. I’d love to be facing that position in my municipality,” he said. County councillors eventually decided to include the hir- ing of the economics development officer through the levy. In a press release issued after the passage of the budget, County Warden Gerry Marshall said “Meeting the needs of our residents while remaining fiscally responsible and ac- countable is the top priority for our Council,” Total county expenditures for 2015 will total $432 million with the county spending $84 million on Ontario Works, $50 million on Long Term Care and Seniors Services , $47 million on Solid Waste Management $43 million on Social Housing and $45 million on Paramedic Services.

shephard Ave. to get 4–way stop sign at Cowan By Wendy GaBrek Despite numerous traffic calming measures taken by coun- cil over the past several years, Shephard Avenue in Alliston re- mains “a speedway”. Council heard additional concerns from three residents at the January Committee of the Whole meeting. Residents reported speeding vehicles, accidents (including mirrors being ripped off parked cars), and motorists failing to stop at existing stop signs – this despite the fact that Shephard Ave. is located in a family neighbourhood. Ward 1 councillor Marc Biss asked council to consider the installation of a 4-way stop sign at Cowan Avenue on Shephard to slow traffic, in addition to the existing 40 km/hour speed limit – that seems to be ignored. Council had previously eliminated north side road parking on Shephard and increased OPP patrol to mitigate concerns, brought forward by residents last summer (2014).

Coyotes drop to Hornets end regular season with a shoot–out win Toronto Ice Jets BY BRIAN LOCKHART The Alliston Coyotes took at hit during their Thursday (Jan. 29) night home game against the Toronto Blue Ice Jets, but not after making a good third period come back. At the end of the fi rst period the Alliston squad was trial- ing 2–1. They got a good jump in the game when Viacheslav Chegrintcev scored on a powerplay just :47 seconds into the game. But the Jets response was two goals before the buzzer sounded to end the frame. Two goals from Andrej Jamnicky and Austin Cunning- ham in the second period placed the Coyotes down two when Toronto scored three more in the second frame to make it a 5–3 game when the teams returned for the fi nal 20 minutes of play. With the pressure on them to get back in the game, the Coyotes came out hard in third and scored twice to tied the game at fi ve – both on powerplay goals. Egor Grishatov scored at :51 seconds into the period the followed up with a second goal just 37 seconds later. It was a short lived tie when Toronto scored two more to again take the lead. The Coyotes challenged scoring another by Kaleb Rossel at the 13:41 mark into the fi nal period but they couldn’t get the tie goal and had to settle for the 7-6 loss.

Adj–Tos extend interim control by-laws on medical marijuana farms BY RIChARD BlAnChARD Adjala-Tosorontio council has extended its interim con- trol by-law on the development of medical marijuana fa- cilities in the township for a further year. Council passed the original by-law in February, 2014 which prohibited the development of these facilities until the township had put the appropriate development controls in place. Township staff is continuing to work on a study for council to make its decision and expects to have a report for council within the next few months. The extension will run until February 2, 2016. Essa takes another look at 2015 budget BY RIChARD BlAnChARD Essa council will spend this Wednesday afternoon re- viewing a revised draft of the 2015 budget. The meeting will take into account suggestions made by council to reduce the township portion on the tax bill to something approaching the four percent increase which was adopted by council last year. The revised budget sees the municipal levy increasing by almost a million dollars from 2014 to $5,505,789 this year which if adopted would represent an increase of 18.5% With an average house in Essa assessed at $281,391, this would mean 18.5%% The township has seen a major cut from the province Municipal Partnership Fund of $284,300 and $200,000 has been dedicated for the purchase of a new Fire Rescue Pumper in 2015.
