During its regular meeting on December 6, Clarence-Rockland council voted to approve the 2022 operating and capital budgets with a total amount of $53,243,607. The draft operating budget called for a 4.09-per-cent tax increase, but after further consideration, this was lowered to a 2.95-per-cent increase. <\/p>\n
Originally, the tax rate was supposed to increase by 4.09 per cent, but after some discussion during last month\u2019s committee of the whole council session, this was revised down to a 2.95-per-cent increase. This was done by cancelling planned increases to several reserve funds: the economic development reserve, the equipment reserve, the fleet reserve, and the building reserve. <\/p>\n
This 2.95-per-cent increase represents an additional $62 in property taxes for a home valued at the average of $310,000. <\/p>\n
The operations budget estimates a total of $45,660,059 in revenue for 2022, with an estimated $46,311,776 in expenses to be offset by $651,717 in taxes. This means that the revenue and expenses will match up exactly, assuming everything goes according to the estimates for revenue and expenses. <\/p>\n
The capital budget estimates a total of $6,931,831 in expenses for a variety of services, including $20,000 for the library, $270,000 for various municipal building and park expenses, $435,000 for public works, $882,500 combined for sewer and water, and $4,406,846 to be invested into the township\u2019s roads. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
