Recorded Vote:

.chatton .
Reeve Williams, re this Resolution, said that the Ontario Municipal
Board had approved the Capital Forecast which included $225,000.00
for an arena. This does not mean we have automatic approval for an
arena, but rather an approval in total. He further explained that
a debentu~e of $225,000.00 spread over 20 years based on the current
assessment would cost in the neighbcurhood of .5664 mills on all
properties in the municipality amounting to $2.83 on a $5,000.00
assessment. On a debenture of $500,000.00 with interest at 8% over
20 years, it would cost $6.79 per year on a $5,000.00 assessment.
The Reeve hoped that consideration could be given to an arena, a
community hall and a swimming pool complex.
After budgets are struck, a public meeting will be called in April
or May.
