<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong> <strong><em>Development Charges - June 22, 2009 - Public input sways district to 13% per year </em></strong><span><p>Last nights public meeting at district saw council change its position and agree to a 13% per year increase . The Corporate services committee had recommended a 10% change in development charges over the next 5 years. Interestingly, after the public meeting during a one hour break several councillors determined to listen to the public presented an amendment in the order of 13% per year. (see attached schedules) The motion was made by Margaret Casey and seconded by Brian Thompson. The initiative has the potential to raise an extra 2 million from developers, instead of the tax base, over the next 5 years. The slowing economy may cause this figure to shrink. However we cannot ignore the victory for Taxpayers considering the recent issues raised with the budget and Sewer and Water. </p></span></strong></span></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: Arial;
