For two years | have worked hard and sincerely as your Mayor to provide
responsible leadership to get things done for the betterment. of our community. Our .- |
District Council is comprised of talented individuals who each bring their particular.
personality and point of view to the Council table, and as Mayor | attempt to co-
ordinate these into constructive policies and actions.

Concern. for the resident and his ability to pay his annual tax levy remains
foremost in my mind. This year's zero-increase tax levy for general purposes,
which does not include schools, highlighted a two year reversal of past budget
trends which had seen up to 18% annual tax increases. It is unfortunate tht major
property assessment valuation changes implemented by the Provincial Authority

The last two years have been a time of combining significant community progress _
with fiscal tax restraint. | seek your support to serve another term as your Mayor to
