✓ Décisions: Council approves conditional 50% development charge cut for wastewater projects
Council approved a report that conditionally increases development charge (DC) funding for the South Niagara Wastewater Treatment Plant, Outfall and Trunk Sewer (SNWTPOTS) to 90% and, if federal-provincial grants are secured, implements a 50% residential DC rate reduction for three years (March 30, 2026 to March 31, 2029). The motion also approves budget increases for SNWTPOTS and the West Lincoln Water and Wastewater Infrastructure (WLWWI) projects, contingent on receiving at least 90% grant funding ($509,280,000 for SNWTPOTS and $241,791,022 for WLWWI). A friendly amendment requires a special council meeting if the province offers less than 90% funding. The motion carried, and five by-laws were passed to implement the changes.
- Approved increase in DC funding for SNWTPOTS to 90% (carried)
- Approved conditional 50% residential DC rate reduction for 3 years (carried)
- Approved $326,777,869 budget increase for SNWTPOTS (carried)
- Approved $355,335,960 budget increase for WLWWI (carried)
- Approved borrowing up to $56,427,975 for WLWWI (carried)
- Approved delegation to CAO to negotiate Transfer Payment Agreements (carried)
