TO Mayor and Council: October 4th, 1976

FROM: Alderman M.A. Thompson

The dissolution of the Dyking District presents us with an opportunity to

formulate a more equitable method of taxation for acquiring funds for

Dyking maintenance. In light of the fact that surface water removal and
its disposition is a responsibility of all members of the community and not
limited to those who live in the lower area accepting water from the more
elevated areas. I would move that the Finance Committee be charged with
the responsibility of investigating and bringing forth recommendations that
-would do away with the present form of Dyking Tax and make proposals for a
more equitable method of cost sharing within the community together with

information as to anticipated costs of the new maintenance programme.

M.A. Thompson
