Section 766(1) defines a "general service" which includes
Paragraph (e) "the giving of grants -in-aid to those who
benefit the community."

Section 771 gives a regional district "the full power to
undertake general services.

Section 803(1) limits the budget for grants in aid to "the
amount that would be obtained by a levy of $.02 per $1,000
of net taxable value of Property within the regional
district." In 1988 this would amount to $1,185,347.

Section 804(2) states "the costs of providing the services
described in paragraphs (a) and (e) of the definition of
general services shall he apportioned among all the
municipalities and electoral areas that comprise the
regional district on the basis of the net taxable value of
land and improvements in the regional district."

Under the new legislation a resolution authorizing grants-in-aid would
require a majority vote of the directors who are at the meeting, with each
director having one vote.

A grant of $1,715,000 would produce a residential tax rate of 2.06% per
$1,000 taxable value or $2.06 on a $100,000 home.
