11 (~~ IW-LAW D.) DEPARTMENT CORR~SPONDENCE People Serving People DA TE: May 23, 2000 TO: R. E. Brooks City Manager FROM: A. Dean Anderson City Treasurer Re: Update on 2000 Taxes To update City Council on the municipal taxation issues affecting the issuance of the 2000 municipal tax bills. Background: City Council adopted its 2000 Current Budget and levy requirements during deliberations held February 1 st, In addition, City Council at its May 15th, 2000 meeting allocated its 2000 Community Reinvestment Fund (CRF) funding allocation to the 2000 Current Budget as a revenue item thus reducing the amount of taxes required to be levied for municipal purposes. The Lambton County's final 2000 Budget has been adopted and their 2000 tax rates have been established through County By-law 28 of 2000 and County By-law 29 of The County has committed to fund the Lambton Hospital Group $5 million over 6 years which will be raised through a special hospital tax rate. This levy will be shown separately on all municipal tax bills. The Province recently announced that there would be no changes in the education tax rates for Only the industrial tax classes education rates will be reduced by 2.73% in accordance to previous legislation requiring education tax cuts for commercial or industrial tax classes above the provincial average of 3.3%. Details of education tax rates have been previously presented to Council. Therefore the City has all of the information necessary to adopt the final 2000 tax levy Bylaw. This By-law has been prepared and is included for Council's consideration.

12 Comments: Provincial tax reform continues to provide many complications that must be resolved prior to the City being able to issue municipal tax bills to all tax classes. We are in position to issue final tax bills for properties in the residential, pipelines, farmland, and managed forest tax classes. These bills will be issued in June 2000 with due dates for the first working day of July and September. The Fairness for Property Taxpayers Act (Bill 79) imposes a mandatory limit on property reform related tax increases on all multi-residential, commercial and industrial properties above pre-assessment (1997) tax levels as follows: 10% for % for 1999, and 20% for the year 2000 This legislation requires municipalities to recalculate 2000 taxes for properties in the affected tax classes based on 1997 tax levels rather than 2000 tax rates. To date the Province has not adopted all of the necessary legislation to make these calculations thus final 2000 tax bills can not be issued to these tax classes. The County continues to engage the consulting firm of Municipal Tax Equity Consultants Inc. (MTE) to provide maintenance of the required frozen assessment listing, to perform the necessary Bill 79 calculations and to prepare the necessary reports and notices for all of the lower tier municipalities within the County including the City of Sarnia. Once the 2000 Bill 79 calculations have been completed, Council will be requested to establish the 2000 tax due dates for the affected tax classes by resolution. Once again, there will be a delay in issuing final tax bills for the capped tax classes which will seriously affect our cash flow and may result in cash shortages and unplanned borrowing. Recommendation: This report is for Council's information only and requires no further action to be taken at this time. c. A. Tuplin A. Lamarche J. Moore
