Whereas Covid 19 has caused a huge change to all of our day to day lives.
And further that the pandemic is causing huge future uncertainty for families dealing with job loss which is adding much day to day financial stress.
And further the deadline for finalizing the 2020 budget is now literally last minute due to Covid 19 and other delays earlier in the year.
I move that the 2020 Capital Budget be reduced by a minimum of $275,000 and the same amount removed from 2020 tax levy as follows:
- $50,000 for tile drainage Douro Ball Park.
- $50,000 for Fuel Pumps at Douro and Warsaw
- $75,000 defer portion of Daleview Ave.project to 2021
- $100,000 deferral of capital items at the 2 Community Centres (Manager indicated that approximately $112,000 could be deferred in this new age if required).
And further these capital reductions will reduce the 2020 taxpayer levy requirement from $471,720 to $196,720 for 2020.
And further that the 2020 Budget be approved after the above changes are processed
