I think it&#8217;s a proper thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it turns out that extending the streetlight program into more rural areas would be an additional cost for rural residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Treasurer Michael Beal explained to council that street lights are part of the transportation budget and therefore not a shared service covered by the shared portion of the Tantramar budget. Rather, current streetlight costs for Sackville and Dorchester are only covered by taxpayers in Sackville and Dorchester. If the program were to expand into former LSDs, then taxpayers in LSDs would eventually have to absorb the annual cost of their new lights. Beal has predicted the annual cost could be covered by a rate increase of .5 or one cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That didn\u2019t convince Councillor Barry Hicks. \u201cI feel that this should be done sooner rather than later, and I don&#8217;t agree with raising taxes one cent on it,\u201d said Hicks on June 23. \u201cWe&#8217;ve already raised 10 cents and spent nothing in LSDs yet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deputy Mayor Matt Estabooks agreed. \u201cWe\u2019re hearing this in our areas, from our constituents,\u201d said Estabrooks. \u201cI know we&#8217;re kind of off the script and and things weren&#8217;t planned, but I feel it&#8217;s important. And, I also think we need to figure out another way to fund this\u2026 instead of raising taxes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if council approves the new rural streetlight program, the additional .5 to one cent raise in taxes won\u2019t affect LSD residents for a few more years. That\u2019s because former LSD areas are currently on a schedule of five cent tax rate increases each year as a result of amalgamation, until their rates for shared services come into line with what\u2019s already paid by Sackville and Dorchester residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tantramar council meets on Tuesday evening next week, and rural streetlighting is expected to be on the agenda, awaiting a motion from council.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tantramar council has its regular monthly meeting next Tuesday evening, and a proposal for a program to install 27 LED street lights at rural intersections is expected back on the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":60558,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_tec_requires_first_save":true,"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_tribe_blocks_recurrence_rules":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_description":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_exclusions":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[472,482,558],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-60557","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-front-page","category-weekly"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tantramar council to consider rural streetlighting, but it could cost rural residents eventually &#187;
