THE provincial election has
left local governments high
and dry in a tax quandary,
says West Vancouver's
Mayor Derrick Humphreys.

As a result, commercial
tax-payers could get hit
again, he warned after
Monday's council meeting.

The election was called
before the provincial
government had time to
fulfil its pledge to introduce
legislation allowing a
variable mill rate, he ex-
plained. This would have
enabled each municipality to
share out the tax burden
equitably among its tax-
payers.

Without the legislation,
municipalities will have to
fall back on the old system
which requires them to tax
residents using a set formula.
Under fthis system, com-
mercial taxpayers bear a
lion's share of the school tax
burdens, says Mayor
Humphreys.

It is possible that if the
existing government is
returned to power it will
bring in the needed
legislation in the ten days
before council’s May 15
budget deadline.

“So we're up in the air, not
knowing what to do,”
commented a _ frustrated
Humphreys.

He thinks that West
Vancouver will take the
advice of the Union of
British Columbia
Municipalities and prepare

to send out two alternative
tax notices — one if the
variable tax rate legislation
is brought in and the other
using the old system.
Although it will be
something of a scramble to
get all the paperwork done

ri | it's the same old
song for taxpayers

in the 10 days between May
5 and May 15, it is possible,
says Mayor Humphreys.

West Van council has one
more budget meeting to go
before hammering out the
final details of its budget, he
added.
