That increase has been offset by assessment growth of approximately $106 million or 2.4 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The overall tax-supported levy represents about $22 million and an annual increase of $2.6 million over last year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the Huntsville portion of the property tax bill, the tax hike represents an increase of $137 for a total of $1,420 per $300,000 of assessment. The overall tax increase once education and the District are factored in, represents an increase of $177 for a total of $2,850 per $300,000 of assessment for 2024, without factoring in water and sewer rates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find the Town&#8217;s media release, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huntsville.ca\/en\/news\/media-release-huntsville-prioritizes-services-in-final-2024-budget.aspx\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Here<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Councillors discussed whether to reduce requests from the parks department to create four full-time positions with existing part-time staff. Staff explained that as the Town has grown the department has been feeling the pressure, which has also resulted in high staff turnover rates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colleen MacDonald&nbsp;who was previously the Manager of Parks and Cemeteries and is now the Manager of Roads Operations for the Town defended the request, noting that the need is even greater than the four full-time positions being requested. She said staff will probably return with further requests for that department next year.  You can find her report, <a href=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2024\/01\/Parks-Department-Overview.pdf\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">HERE<\/span><\/a> (pdf).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Councillor Dione Schumacher said the Town should lead by example by providing full-time jobs while Councillor Cory Clarke said he&#8217;d be in favour of creating two rather than four full-time positions given the current pressures on taxpayers. In the end, the majority of council agreed to leave that budget item in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Staff made two other recommendations that could bring the tax increase down further. One of those items included transferring more than the current $180,000 being transferred from the Town&#8217;s Municipal Accommodation Tax into general expenditures. Prompted by a question from Deputy Mayor Dan Armour, staff indicated that the reserve held about $1 million. Armour noted that those funds could be used to help create incentives in order to alleviate housing shortages in the community. Councillor Bob Stone also said there were some great initiatives on that file coming forward and he did not want to jeopardise that. Council decided not to further deplete that reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another recommendation from staff involved decreasing funding to capital reserves but councillors expressed concerns with that idea and Clarke said he could not support it. Huntsville Mayor Nancy Alcock also noted that the municipality is obligated to maintain funds in order to fix or replace existing capital through the mandated Capital Management Plan. She also noted that the municipality is obligated to maintain infrastructure created by previous councils such as the Algonquin Theatre, the Canada Summit Centre and Conroy Park \u2014 infrastructure she said she and members of the community appreciated, but debt the municipality has to carry in the amount of an estimated $840,000.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alcock said the services the Town currently offers, including the overall beautification of the Town, are important to residents. &#8220;If we all asked and said ok, let&#8217;s try and bring this in at 7 per cent, I don&#8217;t know what we cut. There are so many things in our budget that are mandatory &#8230; I don&#8217;t want to cut back on what we do in Community Services. I&#8217;ve heard nothing but positive feedback over the Holidays about what we offer there&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Councillor Scott Morrison who chairs the finance committee said while he appreciates that the public keeps the municipality and councillors accountable, he had some terse words for those who would &#8216;bash staff&#8217; over the budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Hundreds and hundreds of hours have gone into this and if we thought that we could give you a four per cent tax increase, and still have the town that you want to live in, we&#8217;d do it&#8230; When our staff are working their ass off all year to make things work for this town and then we as a council go to our senior leadership team and say bring us a budget that runs this town the way we want to run it, and the way that the public wants it to be, and then we shit on them saying that they&#8217;re spending money willy-nilly, no, I won&#8217;t deal with that,&#8221; said Morrison. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;And if you want to go on social media and bash us, bash me. I can take it. I&#8217;m the chair of this committee. I&#8217;ll take it. You can call me. You can email me. I&#8217;ll answer any questions but I will tell you if you sat down with me or our CAO or our Treasurer for half an hour even, you might have a different outlook on why we&#8217;re making these decisions. You might not bash people on social media,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, the majority of councillors voted in favour of the budget with a tax increase of 10.68 per cent for the Huntsville portion, except Councillor Clarke who voted against it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Council is expected to ratify the budget at its January 29 meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Related<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/huntsville-council-to-continue-budget-discussions-thursday-january-11\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Huntsville Council to continue budget discussions Thursday, January 11<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/proposed-budgetary-changes-would-result-in-a-10-98-tax-increase\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Proposed budgetary changes could result in a 10.98% tax increase<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/huntsville-starting-budget-discussions-with-a-proposed-15-26-tax-hike\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Huntsville\u2019s draft budget is currently sitting at a proposed 15.26% tax hike<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/district-passes-its-2024-budget-with-a-3-94-tax-increase\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">District passes its 2024 budget with a 3.94% tax increase<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At its January 11 meeting, General Committee ended up approving a revised budget presented by staff with a tax increase of 10.68 per cent.
