Mr. Gruba requested that Council consider freezing the property tax rate.  He indicated that even if there is no tax rate increase, the Town will still see an increase in revenue because property taxes increase when assessments increase.  He asked Council to ensure that it approves a balanced budget and suggested that staff should investigate and apply for more federal and provincial grant opportunities.
