On Saturday,
November 15, 2014, qualified electors within the Central Cariboo Recreation and
Leisure Services Area will be voting on the following question:
Are you in favour of the Cariboo Regional District adopting Bylaws 4906
and 4907, which will authorize the borrowing of up to $10 million over 20 years
and increase the Central Cariboo Recreation and Leisure Services annual
taxation limit to a maximum of the greater of $3,500,000 or $1.98/$1,000 of
assessed value of land and improvements, to provide for the upgrade and
renovation of the pool and amenities at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation
Complex?
(Based on
2014 assessed values, the estimated annual cost to undertake this borrowing and
operate the upgraded pool translates to a residential tax rate increase of
approximately $40/$100,000. The new taxation limit for recreation services of
$3,500,000 translates to a residential tax rate of $148/$100,000 of the net
