Council revisit discussion over local tax increase
An increase in 2011 B.C. Assessments for local properties prompted another council discussion about a potential tax increase in the village this year.
As reported in the Lakes District News edition of Dec. 8, 2010, during village budget talks councillors were split in the decision on how much to raise taxes for 2011.
Most councillors agreed an increase in taxes was necessary to make way for a number of village initiatives, including a municipal bio mass heating project and employing a full time sustainability coordinator.
