As part of its annual tour of Pontiac’s municipal budgets, CHIP 101.9 spoke with Alleyn-et-Cawood Director General Isabelle Cardinal about the goings on in the region’s eastern corner.
Revenues
Cardinal explained that much like the previous several years, the municipality is keeping their mill rate at $1.13 per $100 assessed. She said that while the overall tax base had increased, they had maintained the same mill rate to account for increased expenses, adding that next year they would be receiving their new triennial roll, which she anticipates will bring an increase in property assessments and perhaps a change in the mill rate.
Expenses
Cardinal said that they were planning some upgrades to their municipal park this summer, including new soccer field, a pickleball court and more. They were also allocated funding for camping infrastructure at Mount O’Brien Park, including campsites, new outhouses and signage.
