W. Van taxpayers to
quiz council, school board

Recent increases in West
Vancouver property taxes
are the subject of a public
information meeting
tomorrow (Thursday, June
26) starting at 8 p.m. in the
auditorium of West Van
Secondary School, 1750
Mathers Avenue.

The meeting is sponsored
by a number of West Van
ratepayer and _ citizen
groups. Representatives of
West Van council and
school board will be in at-
tendance.

Obdjectives of the meeting,
say the sponsors, are:

¢ To provide a forum for
objective criticism, input
and constructive suggestions
from taxpayers to. their
elected representatives on

taxation and _ financial
resource allocations;

© To clear away confusion,
receive accurate factual data
and identify the current legal
constraints under which
council and school board
must work;

®To reveal and examine
critically provincial
government policies and role
in funding and cost-sharing

for secondary schools,
regional district functions
and certain municipal

operations (e.g., policing in
a community penetrated by
major provincial highway
traffic); .

© To call -for closer and
continuing liaison between
local government and the
provincial government
through the municipality's
MLA.

This year’s average in-
crease in municipal taxes is
10.9%. School taxes are up
by approximately 13% —

due in part to a cutback in

cost-sharing for schools by

the provincial government.

However, numerous
homeowners whose
assessments were increased
by the provincial ent
authority as a result of rising
property values have found
the increase im their 1980 tax
bill to be considerably higher
than the 10.9% average for
municipal operations.

The municipality collects
school taxes on behalf of the
school board but has no
control over the level of
those taxes —- which are set
by the elected = school
trustees.
