Kincardine Council details changes to Budget in Efforts to Achieve 7% Increase

The Municipality of Kincardine held its fourth 2023 budget meeting on Monday.

The meeting saw council follow up on its previous January 25th meeting in which a tax rate goal of 7% was requested and staff was asked to provide a list of options on the impacts any reductions or eliminations of items would have on services.

Decides made in efforts of reduction include applying $27,000 from the Ontario Cannabis Legalization Implementation fund to maintain the School Resource Officer, one time reductions of $2,000 from the office equipment and $1,000 from office supply budgets, reduction of seasonal By-Law Enforcement Services by one position, bag tags for garbage to increase by $1, and closure of the Re-Use building at the Kincardine Waste Management Centre.

A fifth budget meeting is set for Monday, March 6th at 5pm. You can find the agenda at the link below.
