Street Rob Boomhour - 12 - 3/81 (III) DELEGATIONS 2. Mr. Bruce Freeman, representing Bramalea Limited, addressed Council with respect to the Notice of Motion regarding a study of assessment and stated that his company has been able to attract industry to Pickering because of the favourable tax base which is lower than municipalities in Metropolitan Toronto and the surrounding area. A reassessment under Section 86 of The Assessment Act would affect not only the industrial and commercial sector but also older homes on large lots, and farms. Such a reassessment may effect the Town's portion of the Regional levy. Mr. Murray Stroud addressed Council with respect to the Notice of Motion regarding a study of assessment and states that inequities in the assessment base was not an issue in the election and The Assessment Act states that there must be significant inequities before conducting a study. This motion could create a division in the municipality by setting one group of home- owners against another. Those living in older homes and on farms would be most affected by a reassessment. 1. 3. Mr. Rick Hull, representing the Rosebank and East Rouge Ratepayers Association, addressed Council with respect to the Notice of Motion regarding a study of assessment and stated that if there are inequities in the assessment base a study should be conducted and the report of the study made public.
