Board stresses staff confirmation to avoid delayed tax bills
Summary
Board members agreed they needed prompt confirmation from staff (Darlene) about how rate components are combined on bills to avoid delaying mailings and possible repercussions; the board asked staff to finalize bill formatting immediately.
Committee member 4 repeatedly urged the board to confirm calculations with staff so that tax bills could be mailed on schedule, warning of consequences if billing were delayed. "If we don't do it tonight, we don't get the bills out," the presenter said, arguing the board should proceed if staff can confirm the arithmetic.
After the amendment, the Chair confirmed that Darlene had called back and verified that municipal, local-agreement and education components are combined as discussed. The board directed administrative staff to finalize the export and mailing schedule so bills go out on time.
