Another Town financial policy is to set aside any yearâ€"end surpluses in a capital reserve to assist in funding future capital projects. this policy allowed the Town to take full advantage of the Canada Infrastructure Works program in 1994, without increasing taxes. For any business, it is critical to constantly monitor its current financial position. This allows a business to promptly react to any fluctuations in revenues and expenditures not accounted for in its budget. The Town of Oakville has excelâ€" lent financial reporting mechanisms in place that continuously report the curâ€" rent financial position to Council and Town departments. Unexpected vari ances can then be quickly addressed. "The Town of Oakville Council and staff are committed to ensuring that the interests of ratepayers and the assets of the Town are protected and safeâ€"guarded," said Mayor Mulvale. As a community that is continuing to grow, and based on the principal that new growth should be selfâ€"supporting, the Town has imposed development charges. In the past, these charges were collected in the form of lot levies. Currently, however, the Town‘s development charge bylaw is under appeal. Among the key reasons why the Town is in a good financial position include the fact that Oakville‘s debt continues to be the lowest in Halton region, at four per cent of total expenditures. To illustrate the significance of this figure, the Ontario Municipal Board‘s guideline for debt capacity is 20 per cent. At four cent, the Town of Oakville is well below the recommended debt capacity. Compared to other municipalities in Ontario, Oakville‘s reliance on provincial funding is relatively low. As a result, the Town has been able to react promptly to any decreases in Provincial funding. The Town of Oakville‘s recently released 1993 financial results show that a number of Town policies are having positive effects on the bottom line. "The Town of Oakville is in a good financial position," said Mayor Ann Mulvale, commenting on the release of the 1993 financial report. "This is a direct result of prudent financial planning over the years," she added. Prudent financial planning has benefited the Town in a number of other ways The ten year capital forecast provides for a plan of action to construct and replace the Town‘s infrastructure. In addition, the Town has a policy to set aside money in reserves, to ensure that funds are available for the future replacement of equipment and vehicles as required. The Town has also established a Mill Rate Stabilization Reserve to protect ratepayers in the event of major unanticipated expenditures that may occur in any given year. Low debt and prudent financial planning key factors in Town of Oakville‘s good financial position. The Wild Guys, May 2â€"3, 1995.

Thursday July 7, Skydome, 7:00 p.m. Argos vs The Baltimore Colts Tickets only $10.00 (an $18.00 value), from the Town Hall Kiosk, 1225 Trafalgar Road. Tax rates are generally determined by weighing the net budâ€" getary requirements (funds needed to perform Town, Region and educational functions) against the total taxable assessed property values (funds available in the tax base). However, even in achieving one of the lowest mill rate changes in recent history, Town of Oakville ratepayers are still experiencing a mill rate increase of 2.93 per cent. The key factor in this rise is the issue of region wide market value assessment. Under the current system, the Province is responsible for determining the equalization factors which are used to apportion the education and Regional tax burden between the different municipalities within the region. In 1994, apportionments for the Region and education were based on an average of the 1989 and 1993 equalization factors. Although the Town of Oakville and Region Councils approves a zero per cent mill rate change, and the school boards a 1.3 per cent increase, the total increase is 2.93 per cent. This is partially due to reapportionment. The change in the Regional and education mill rates is calculated as follows: Implementation of this new region wide market value assessment in 1994 as originally proposed, would have resulted in an even greater tax increase for a number of Oakville ratepayâ€" ers. However, due to a compromise reached in Halton Regional Council, the implementation of region wide market value assessâ€" ment has been delayed until 1995 or 1996. Region Approved net budget increase 0.0% Apportionment factor change* 1.8% Assessment local revenue changes â€"0.8% Continuation of discussion on Organization Review (inâ€"camera portion) The shift to Oakville is not unusual. Since 1986, Oakville has been absorbing a greater share of the Regional and eduâ€" cation budgets, because property values in Oakville have been increasing faster than those in other Halton municipalities.
