The Red Shield Appeal, an annual Salvat

ion Army fund raising campaign, got support fr
city of Terrace last week with signing of a proclamation by alderman Ruth Hallock. Present to
witness the kick-off were Sheri Onstein and Salvation Army Lieutenant Mike Hoeft.

~ It’s a budget that’s not going to
cost the ordinary taxpayer more
money, says Terrace city council
Finance Committee chairman
‘Danny Sheridan. In fact, with the
1991 city budget, most residential
property owners can expect cuts of
between three and cight percent on
their property taxes.

Most businessmen will find even
greater cuts, but on the other side
of the coin, a few commercial
ventures whose five-year Partner-
ship in Enterprise agreements have
expired will see a dramatic rise in
property taxes. Skeena Cellulose
goes up 17.61 percent and Mo
Takhar’s Terrace Precut has
jumped 58.58 percent.

The bottom line is a 5.44 percent
increase in revenues in 1991. The
budget estimate is $14,022,960.

§ This will cover an 8.68 percent
s increase in expenditures which is

made possible by using a $396,272
surplus from 1990.

The city’s capital budget for

1991 offers something for every-

onc. At the head of the list, per-
haps, is a $25,000 donation to the

s REM Lee Foundation’s CAT scan
a project. The fire department gets a

which is a beginning for replacing
their aging and underpowered 01
rescue truck.

Public Works gets better storage
facilities and a few minor projects
around town. The Recreation
Department gets $54,000 for public
washrooms in George Little Mem-
orial Park and $34,000 for air
conditioning the ‘arena banquet
room. Nearly $20,000 will go into
restructuring the sewage line from
the bench at the north end of
Katum and $40,000 goes to an Eby
spring study.

On the operational side of things,
the biggest gain was seen by the
city’s planning depariment. An
overall increase of 184 percent
gives this department the $218,735
they need to complete Phase II of
the Community Development Plan
and our new Official Community
Plan.

The Aurora Summer School of
the Arts got the $25,000 they were
seeking and the Arts Council got a
big boost, from $6,600 to $15,000.
This will cover growing demands
from the arts community. The Art
Gallery’s request of $30,000 was
declined but the Arts Council will
have the financing to help them
