December 15, 2021 - General/Finance Committee - Agenda Package
A budget is a financial plan for money coming in and money going out for the Township of Muskoka Lakes. There are two building blocks to the Township’s budget: operating and capital.
The Operating Budget is like you paying your house bills to keep the lights on. Just like in a normal household, our bills go up with inflation. For the Township, it includes things like salaries and benefits for staff, insurance, utilities, professional fees and contracted services.
The Operating Budget also includes contributions made to reserves, which is a “save now and use later” approach to funding capital and other anticipated expenditures.
The Capital Budget is like your major outlays: vehicles, house renovations etc. For the Township, it includes items like road construction, fire trucks and snow plows.
Money comes in from three sources: property tax levy, user fees and grants/subsidies.
Municipal Council, with the input of administration and the public, decide how best to balance the municipal budget guided by Provincial legislation.

Please build a much larger component in the budget for by-law enforcement. We need more people following up on by-laws and decisions made by Committees.

The local Chamber of Commerce needs to receive ongoing funding. It does an incredible job for businesses and other organizations in our community. I understand it asks for funding every year to deliver economic development related services and receives less money than other Chambers in Muskoka. I rely on free WI FI and other services, and can see they are doing a good job. Please fund them.

1. Have proper maintenance at Hanna Park YEAR round including Canada geese control as past years which was reduced this year. Received many negative comments this year with the Park condition this year. 2. Re post NO Parking signs from Hanna Park dock to Harris street (on Bailey Street) and patrol it.This was a SAFETY hazard when entering Bailey Street from driveway. Could not see what was coming down the street and have to drive into oncoming traffic to turn into Bailey street to avoid trailers and parked cars. A few years ago there were NO Parking signs and all traffic was visible.
