Budget and Tax Increase Plans From Local Council 1986
The 1986 budget approved on May 10 faces a 10 to 25 percent tax rise as the municipality grapples with a 32 percent drop in assessed value. Streets and roads need about 5 million over five years, with upgrades planned for Munch and Rodeo, 43rd Street ditchwork, storm sewer and 45th Avenue works, and airport fencing. The council found area tax rates are 35 percent below regional averages, and business taxes 55 percent below. They aim to reach 95 percent of the 1985 average in 1986 and 100 percent in 1987, with residential taxes rising less than business. The plan prioritizes streets, roads, and services while maintaining lower overall levels than the area average.
