Parts of my letter of May 12/2023, which was presented in the May 23/23 agenda.

Dear CEO (Mayor) and Councillors,

I am writing regarding the Financial Budget package that had ONE page replaced with new tax rates with a 2023 heading. Thank you to the person that was able to catch the WRONG insert.

I did notice it also, and I did talk to Deb (accountant) about it.

It is very strange that after all the readings passed except for the final reading that this ONE PAGE was inserted in the package.

These packages have been photocopied reading after reading and yet only ONE was inserted wrong at the FINAL reading of the

Financial Budget.

The presentation from the Young Learners group is good but they need to remember that in the last 3 years at least if not more, the community garden that already exists in Willson Park has been asking for people to rent the plots. There is an expense for the taxpayers to break ground and give water to this new community garden in Willson Park. Who is going to continue to pay for the water? This has not been budgeted for 2023.

Apple (fruit) trees can be planted on the school grounds.

The pump track did the same thing by asking for insurance from the Village. A pretty large amount up to $800.00 yearly for a type of grant-in-aid money. This was not in the budget either.
