2014 BUDGET PRESENTATION Tuesday January 28, 2014
2014 BUDGET • The complete budget document can be located on the Lanark Highland’s web site at www. lanarkhighlands.ca/Services/Budget.php • The assessment in Lanark Highlands for 2014 taxation increased on average 5.53%. Of this, 1.65% relates to real growth, 3.88% relates to assessment phase-in increase. • The 2014 budget includes a municipal tax levy increase of 2%. This approximates about $ 84,000 of additional revenue for Municipal operations. • 2014 is the forth consecutive year the tax rate increase has been maintained at 2%. • Policing Cost has increased $ 43,544 for 2014. This equates to about 1% of the tax levy. Policing Cost represents about 8.5% of the Township’s total gross expenses.
2014 BUDGET • The Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund Grant ( OMPF ) increased by $114,800. Since 2009, this grant had been steadily decreasing . The increase for 2014 is a welcome reprieve. • At this time, a $ 150,000 surplus is forecast for 2013. The 2013 year end must still be completed as well as the 2013 audit. Therefore, this forecast is subject to change. • This surplus is attributable to actual expenses being approximately $ 60,000 less than budgeted but also tax revenue being $ 90,000 higher than budgeted. Most of the tax increase was created by additional tax supplementaries based on reassessments by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation ( MPAC )
