THE REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF PEEL

BY-LAW NUMBER 35-2000

A by-law to adopt estimates of all sums required during the year 2000 for the purposes of the Regional Corporation and to provide a general levy and special levies on Area Municipalities.

 

WHEREAS the Regional Corporation is required by Section 365(1) of the Municipal Act, (hereinafter referred to as the "Act") to adopt yearly estimates of all sums required during the year for the purposes of the Regional Corporation, including the sums required by-law to be provided by the Regional Council for any local boards of the Regional Corporation;

AND WHEREAS Section 366 of the Act contemplates that a general upper-tier levy will be raised in each year and that a special upper-tier levy or special upper-tier levies may be raised in each year on some or all property in the upper-tier municipality rateable for upper-tier purposes;

AND WHEREAS the Council of the Regional Corporation has chosen to delegate to the councils of the area municipalities its authority to establish tax ratios for both regional and municipal purposes, in accordance with By-law 24-98;

AND WHEREAS such delegation effectively prevents the Council of the Regional Corporation from directing the council of each area municipality to levy a separate specified tax rate in order to raise the general upper-tier levy and any special upper-tier levy as otherwise contemplated in Section 366 of the Act;

AND WHEREAS Section 366(7) of the Act provides that the Council of the Regional Municipality of Peel shall ascertain and by by-law direct what portion of the aforesaid amounts shall be levied against and in each area municipality, on or before specified dates;

AND WHEREAS the cost of policing will be allocated so that the Cities of Mississauga and Brampton will be levied for the cost of the Peel Regional Police, with the allocation of costs to be levied on each municipality’s pro rata share of the combined transition ratio weighted assessment for the two municipalities in accordance with the foregoing authority and in accordance with Ontario Regulation 230/99, as amended;

AND WHEREAS the Town of Caledon will be assessed the full cost of providing municipal policing services by the Ontario Provincial Police in accordance with the foregoing authority;

AND WHEREAS the Council of the Regional Corporation has adopted By-law 114-94 which provides for the establishment of a Waste Management rate per tonne based upon estimated tonnage amounts to be requisitioned from each area municipality at the same time as the Levy;

AND WHEREAS the difference between the Waste Management levy established for the prior year based upon estimated tonnage amounts and estimated expenditure amounts and the Waste Management levy that would have been established had the actual tonnage and expenditure amounts been used to calculate the levy is to be corrected by an adjustment to the Waste Management levy to be established for the current year inclusive of surplus management adjustments pertaining to actual operating expenditures;

AND WHEREAS the Regional Council has adopted By-law 25-2000 which enacted an Interim Levy against the area municipalities in the year 2000;
