UPDATE Dec 21, 2022 –
One of the first issues to be decided by our new Council is how to manage storm water in Cobourg and who pays. The proposal is that storm water management should be funded by a separate annual charge rather than being part of our property taxes as is done currently.
A slim majority of Cobourg Council showed total disregard for scarce taxpayer dollars when it went on a $4 million spending spree last evening says the Cobourg Taxpayers Association (CTA).
The CTA slammed a decision by a majority of Council when it ignored the advice of its Deputy Mayor to delay a $4 million relocation of the Town’s Public Works facility until a proper cost/benefit analysis and examination of alternatives is conducted.
Another important issue has come up that could have a big impact on our taxes. It will be up for final vote in Council this Monday December 7.
Mayor Brocanier and five other Councillors voted at Committee of the Whole on November 30th to spend $4 million of our money so the Public Works building can move into new digs at the town-owned Northam Industrial Park.
