DELEGATION, PUBLIC MEETINGS AND PRESENTATIONS 6.1 Municipal Property Assessment Corporation – Justin Johnson and Judy Brosseau Justin Johnson and Judy Brosseau, Representatives from the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) attended the meeting to provide information on the 19
oles and responsibilities of MPAC, information on the “AboutMyProperty” program and the 2012 assessment update and local trends. Mr. Johnson noted that the changes resulting from the 2012 assessment update would be used for the 2013-2016 taxation years, and advised that any decreases in assessment are implemented immediately, and any increases are phased in over the 4 year time period. A question was raised on the increase in the values of farmland, and Deputy Mayor Davis-Dagg questioned if there was flexibility in the assessment process that would allow for a reassessment if the values decreased over the 4 year assessment period. Mr. Johnson advised that the Assessment Act regulates how and when reassessments are done, and while individuals are welcome to file appeals each year, a full reassessment of a class of land could not be undertaken except within the legislation. When asked the process in the event of a “housing crisis”, it was noted that there wouldn’t be a reassessment unless there was a change in legislation. A discussion ensued on the change to the valuation of multi –residential units, which was changed to a “sales based model” similar to residential. Also questioned was the geographic area for the current value assessment comparatives, and it was explained that the goal is to find “homogenized neighbourhoods” with similar schools, same shopping opportunities, etc. The valuations for “trailer parks” was explained as having a number of variables, depending on whether or not it is a seasonal park or full time, and that the lands are assessed as “residential” and any commercial component, such as a sales establishment or “store” would be assessed as commercial. 6.2 Ontario Provincial Police Representatives – Inspector Scott Janssen and S/Sergeant Jason Younan Inspector Janssen and S/Sergeant Younan attended the meeting to present information on the Lambton Group Policing costs and services provided by the Ontario Provincial Police. It was noted that a significant amount of resources are dedicated to the Village of Grand Bend in the summer months, however, the number of complaints in the Village has been reducing each year. Discussion took place regarding the enforcement of illegal ATV’s, drug use in the schools, interaction with “Victim Services”, tagging and graffiti and proactive options for “Skip School Day”. With respect to “fine” revenue, Inspector Janssen advised that the Police are not in the business of making money, but ensuring the safety of the residents and that staff receive fair compensation for a fair days work. 13-0122-01 Moved by: Councillor Scott Seconded by: Councillor Underwood That the Council meeting adjourn at 3:50 p.m. Carried 20
