Budget up |
3.2 per cent

By CasNews Staff

Castlegar council Tuesday gave'three readings to its
1983 budget, which totals $4.7 million. That's a 3.2 per
cent increase or $145,700 more than 1982.

Of the total $4.7 million, $1.2 million is for the water
and sewer system and $3.62 million for general city costs.

The $1.2 million for water and sewer costs is broken
down into $528,100 for water, $607,800 for the south end
sewer system and $132,300 for the north end sewer
system.

The $3.52 million for general purposes is a 5.4 per
cent increase — or $181,792 more than 1982.

The following is a breakdown of the $8.52 million the
city will spend in 1983.

General government services is up 4.5 per cent this
year, from $462,057 last year to $472,198 — or $20,141
incrase.
increase.

Protective services is up 1.9 per cent or $11,070,
from $569,879 in 1982 to $680,949 this year.

Transportation services dropped .7 per cent or
$6,416 this year, from $884,217 last year to $877,801.

Environmental Health Services is up 6.5 per cent or
$5,911 this year, from $91,089 to $97,000.

Public Health and Welfare is down 51 per cent this
year or $26,683, from $50,133 to $24,550.

Environmental Development Services is also down
by 18 per cent or $16,153 this year, from $84,290 to
$69,137.

Recreation and cultural services is up 7.7 per cent
this year or $14,303 — from $185,647 to $199,950.

Fiscal services is up 71 per cent this year, or $147,167
— from $207,892 to $354,559.

And the city will sock away more money in its
reserve fund this year, which is up $30,351 or 3.7 per cent
over last year, from $820,450 to $850,802.

In order to meet those expenses the city will need to
spend $320,000 from its reserve fund. That figure
includes $173,000 from its capital works program that the
city didn’t spend last year, $47,734 from a surplus from
last year, $50,000 from a development reserve and
$50,000 the city saved from by laying off city, workers for
a week last Christmas.

City administrator Larry Cruikshank said the city
will have to lay off staff for another week this year in
order to save money. .

Mayor Audrey Moore said general government
services shows a 4.5 per cent increase this year because
the city included grants in that section which were not
' included last year.

As well, she said the figure allows for legal costs the
city may have to pay in several court cases scheduled for
this year.

Cruikshank said the huge increase in fiscal services

‘this year is for the paving program approved by
referendum in November, 1981. The city has to begin
repaying the loan for the program this year.

Meanwhile, the city’s 1988 capital works program.
(which is included in the overall general purpose budget)
will increase 51 per cent this year — from $253,079 in
1982 to $381,920 this year.

However, $173,000 of that is money that was not
spent last year. That includes $98,000 set aside for the
public works yard and $75,000 remaining from the
Dumont storm sewer project.

Projects planned for this yeas include:

e $7,420 to p
sweeper

e $3,000 for a transit survey

e $2,200 for planning

e $1,000 for administration

© $3,000 for an oven, tables and chairs for Kinnaird

e $6,000 for city hall renovations — up from $5,000

© $5,000 for sidewalks

$2,000 for a wheelchair ramp for city hall, $5,000 for

As well, the city will spend a total of $30,300 on parks
and ing $15,000 for sprinkler system for
Kinnaird Park, $5,000 for north tennis court drainage,
$3,000 for playground equipment, another $8,000 for ball

A BREAK

continued from front poge

One area that won't be cut back this year. is work on
storm sewers in the south end. Moore said the work has to
be done in order for property owners in the replot area to
subdivide.

In addition, sho said the work is necessary if the city is
to keep its public works crew working and avoid layoffs.

Moore cautioned that the city only accounts for 80 per
cent of local taxes. The remaining 70 per cent goes to school,
hospital and regional district taxes.

Meanwhile, in other examples of tax bills (for city taxes
only)‘a commercial property owner whose land and buildings
had a taxable assessed value of $12,872 in 1982 paid $655.86
in city taxes. .

This year that same owner would pay about $35 less -
$620.14.

An industrial property owner whose lands and buildings
were valued at $55,013 last year would have paid $2,904.06
in city taxes. This year, the same owner would pay $2,991.66
or about $27 more.

MAIN
WON'T CLOSE .

A Canada Customs official based in Trail said he had
heard “rumors” that the U.S. government was consider-
ing cutting service at varous border crossings,

Area Manager George Profili also said that any
reduction in service would mean Canada would have to
follow suit.

“There is no way you can keep offices open for
returning Canadians because there is no way you can
control those crossing the border illegally and the Ameri-
cans wouldn't like that, We'd almost have to go along
with it,” Profili explained.

Kootenay West MP Lyle Kristiansen credi*s U.S.
Senator Henry Jackson and Congressman Tim Foley for
putting an end to proposals for closures and reduced
hours of operation.

In a prepared release, Kristiansen said, “I'm very
pleased that outrage expressed by them and other
congressmen, backed up Ye a Browing protest ‘from
agencies to

change their minds.”
