Colby Robak brings home gold... See page 7. RMs set tax rates for 2008 By Audrey Kotak The Rural Municipalities of Grandview and Gilbert Plains have completed their 2008 budgets and in both cases, municipal tax rates will be going up. For Grandview taxpayers the municipal rate will increase by 2 mills from 38.89 to 40.89 and the special levy for Mountain View School Division is increasing from 24.74 to 25.68 or .94 mills. The total for mill rate for most property comes to 66.57 mills. An additional 16.08 mills is applied to commercial property with those dollars going to the Public Schools Finance Board. As an example, a farm property with no residence on it and with a market value of $80,000 would expect a tax bill of just under $1,400.00. CAO Joan Scott explained that the municipal increase was necessary to cover the continually rising costs of operating. No major new projects are planned for the year. continued on page 1 and 3
