Board says it needs 'new money' to effect the mandate and meet the responsibilities brought on by amalgamation
As budgets for regional service commissions grow to accommodate new responsibilities handed down from the province, Fundy Regional Service Commission members say they don't want that money taken from local municipalities.
Ouellette told Brunswick News that this year's budget was prepared with"intention" following direction from board members and review from local chief administrative officers, as well as from the commission's strategic plan passed in August, and was"consistent with the vision established by the board.
The budget has increased from $18.3 million to $19.3 million, and includes money from a provincial grant called the Regional Services Support Fund , an increase in tipping fees and additional money for committee representatives. The increase in funding from the RSSF, which Ouellette said amounted to $400,000, has gone up as money that goes directly to municipalities through the Community Funding and Equalization Grant has gone down.
"We want new money. We want to see that there is new funding for the regional services commission," she said.
