"WHEREAS the York County Board of Education have, by their

interest claimed by them on a late payment of a portion

Board shall prepare and adopt estimates of all sums

in the School Division on, or before, the 1st. day of
March in each year,
AND WHEREAS the late submission does not relieve the Area
Municipality of its duty to levy prior to the inclusion
of the Divisional Board requisition and rates that all of
the cost of the collection can be charged back to the
Divisional Board '"hich \.rould result in extra expense to
the ratepayers of that Municipality,
AND WHEREAS the Municipal Act allows an Area Municipality
on a local level, to strike an interim tax levy to collect
up to 50% of the previous years' levy,
AND \iHEREAS in 1975 the York County Board of Education levy

REGULAR MEETING
RESOLUTION~90~~
-17 -DECEMBER 15th. 1975
AND WHEREAS the Region of York has adopted a policy in the
year 1975 because of the late levy that the first two
quarterly instalments namely, March 31st. and June 30th
be based on the estimates of the 1974 levy and the balance
payable on the last two quarterly payments of the 1975
requisition namely, September 30th and December 15th.
1975,
AND WHEREAS the Council of the Town of Aurora feels that
this is a reasonable approach in that Local or Area
Municipalities could not be in a position to collect tax
revenues to make the payments requested until the third
quarter of the calendar year,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED
1. THAT the Town of Aurora appeal to the York County
Board of Education to write-off the interest billed to
the Town of Aurora and to treat all Area Municipalities
in a fair manner.
2. THAT the York County Board of Eduation study their
financial policy to reflect the fiscal and financial
restraints which are placed on Local Municipalities
in collecting tax revenues to pay the requisitions to
School Boards, and further, that should the Boards of
Education require their monies as stated in the Act in
their quarterly instalments, that the requisition be
submitted not later than the Act provides, namely,
March 1st. of each year.
3. THAT this matter be dealt with expeditiously as the
books should be cleared prior to the end. of the
calendar year for both the Local Municipality and the
Board of Education."
