ADJOURNMENT Page 3 of 80 CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF TERRACE BAY DATE: April 6th 2021 REPORT TO: Council SUBJECT: 2021 Operating and Capital Budget Information: For Council’s adoption, Administration has prepared the 2021 Operating and Capital budget. As discussed, any modifications to the Waterfront Development Project regarding roadways will be funded from reserves, having no impact on the budget bottom line. Current Discussion: Administration is bringing forward a proposed 2021 budget with a Municipal tax levy of $3,344,465.11 This amount is an increase of 0.87% over prior year. The following property classes are affected ‘on average’ as follows: • Residential = 1.11% • Multi-Residential = 0.00% • Commercial = (0.94)% • Large Industrial = (0.62)% Council should note that individual properties will be affected differently depending on changes to their respective assessments. An average residential tax bill of $2,300 will see an increase of approximate increase of $25.60/year or $2.13/month. Financial Implications: The proposed budget brings about a Municipal tax levy of $3,344,465 and an Education tax levy of $290,381 for total 2021 taxes of $3,634,846. Options: (A) Approve the 2021 Operating and Capital Budgets as presented and that the appropriate bylaw be brought forward. (B) Do not approve the budget as presented and direct Administration to come back with changes. Recommendation: Administration recommends option (A) Approve the 2021 Operating and Capital Budgets as presented and that the appropriate bylaw be brought forward.
