2014 BUDGET PRESENTATION
Tuesday January 28, 2014
• 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.
• 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 )
The 2014 budget includes $ 2,000,500 to be spent on capital items
and projects.
$ 236,865 of this amount will be funded through the tax levy. The
remainder will be funded from reserves, development charges and a
$ 1,099,088 grant from OMAFRA - MIII
