FINANCE The Perth East Finance Department is responsible for the financial and accounting affairs of the Township. Services include accounts receivable/payable, municipal taxation, water and sewer billing, annual budgeting, asset management planning, procurement, collections, investments, payroll and information systems.

Introducing the Budget Builder- Annually starting September 20th, a link on the homepage of our website www.pertheast.ca allows residents to adjust the capital and operating budgets and get a preview of what impact those adjustments have on taxes. For each budget, residents choose whether they would like the budget for that service area to stay the same, increase by 10% or decrease by 10%, then leave a comment about the specific changes they want to see. Once the data is submitted, the Builder then shows the tax impact of those adjustments on each type of property.

Residents are encouraged to use the Budget Builder to provide feedback each year. The Budget Builder is active from September until November 20th, after which the data is collated and forwarded to Council for annual budget consideration.

Perth East Mayor Bob McMillan hopes this new tool will lead to more resident engagement.

“Each year, Council is tasked with the responsibility of ensuring our residents receive excellent service and value for their tax dollars. Often, difficult choices must be made.

Community engagement is improved when everyone understands each other’s position, ideas and challenges… especially when it comes to the budget. These kinds of tools allow residents to sample that process, see the impact of certain decisions and then provide their feedback to Council.”

NEW

BUDGET PROCESS Annual Budget Process – The annual budget process begins each July. Department Managers, the Treasurer and Chief Administrative Officer complete fee reviews and draft operation and capital budgets. All members of the Township Council form the Budget Advisory Committee and meet from January until April. Township Council reviews priorities and normally approves the Corporate Budget in April.

Operating budget - Provides for the day-to-day expenses of the Township, such as salaries and materials.

Capital Budget -Is a multi-year financial plan that provides for the construction or acquisition of capital works. The capital budget Includes future financial resources required to finance capital projects and identifies the financial resources to be allocated from the operating budget to operate and maintain capital assets. The capital budget is prepared at the same time as the operating budget, and approved by the Township Council at the same time. This is to ensure that any contributions from the operating budget to the capital budget are coordinated and understood and that the effect on the ratepayer is seen. In addition, a capital asset may be slated for completion in mid-year and require an operating budget provision to pay for utility costs, staffing, and other operating costs. www.pertheast.ca | page 15

PERTH EAST FIRE DEPARTMENT SMOKE ALARMS Every home in Ontario must have a working smoke alarm on every storey and outside all sleeping areas.

Homeowners - It is the responsibility of homeowners to install and maintain smoke alarms on every storey of their home and outside sleeping areas.

Landlords - It is the responsibility of landlords to ensure their rental properties comply with the law.

Tenants - If you are a tenant of a rental property and do not have the required number of smoke alarms, contact your landlord immediately. It is against the law for tenants to remove the batteries or tamper with the alarm in any way.

Home Escape Plans - Do you and your family know what to do and where to go when the smoke alarm sounds? Create and practice a home escape plan. Have two ways out of each room and choose a meeting place outside the home.

Only working smoke alarms save lives.

WORKING CO ALARMS - Your everyday hero right in your home Carbon monoxide is an odourless, invisible gas that can be fatal. Your only protection from this “silent killer” is a working CO alarm.

CO alarms must be installed outside all sleeping areas. If you cannot hear the alarm when it is sounding you will not get the necessary early detection when CO is present. Experts are also recommending one alarm for every level of the home.

Already have a CO alarm? Take a few minutes to check the date of manufacture / installation…

Homes with CO alarms that are past their optimal life span may also put occupants at risk.

What is sometimes misunderstood by many homeowners, is that CO alarms, like smoke alarms, do not last forever whether they are battery powered or hardwired.

Some symptoms of CO poisoning: • Headache, nausea, burning eyes, fainting, confusion, drowsiness.

• Often mistaken for common ailments like the flu • Symptoms improve when away from the home for a period of time • Symptoms experienced by more than one member of the household.

• Continued exposure to higher levels may result in unconscious, brain damage and death. www.pertheast.ca | page 26

PERTH EAST FIRE DEPARTMENT A CLEAN CHIMNEY IS A SAFER CHIMNEY Simple steps to prevent a fire: • Inspect & clean your chimney - especially important to do before heating season. Clear any obstructions and make sure the damper is working properly. Cresote and soot buildup should be cleared. Consult a WETT (Wood Energy Technical Training) certified technician to be sure.

• Check woodstove pipes - make sure all joints are securely fastened • Burn dry, clean wood - to reduce build-up, burn only properly dried, seasoned wood.

Never place plastics, wet or green wood in the fire. Never burn gift wrap in a fireplace or woodstove.

• Ash removal - ensure the ashes are cool before using a (metal, non-combustible) container to remove them. Take them directly outside and store in a non-combustible area well away from any structures.

OPEN-AIR BURNING During the warmer seasons, we get a lot of calls for burn permits. While it’s great that residents are notifying staff of their intent to have open-air fires, some residents still burn without confirming they have permission to do so.

Leaving a message with this information does not give you permission to burn. You must obtain approval directly with staff. All staff at the Municipal Office can address your request, so speak to reception staff; they can help you.

There are a few rules with regard to having a controlled burn: • Stay with the controlled burn at all times and ensure the fire is fully extinguished at dark.

• Burn only clean materials (wood, brush, etc.) - do not burn household garbage, rubber or plastics.

• Your fire should not be a nuisance to neighbours in terms of smoke or noise, so be mindful of wind strength & direction • Consult the by-law for full rules and regulations To obtain a burn permit, please call 519-595-2800 during regular municipal office hours.

The Open-Air Controlled Burn By-law is available for you to view on the Perth East website. www.pertheast.ca | page 27

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SEVERE WEATHER HOW TO STAY SAFE IN SEASONAL STORMS Special Weather Statements, Watches and Warnings—Be Sure You Know the Difference!

A special weather statement means actual or expected weather conditions may cause general inconvenience or concern, but do not pose a serious enough threat to warrant a weather warning.

A watch is issued when conditions are likely for the development of what the watch is for (e.g. a severe thunderstorm watch is issued when conditions are likely for the development of severe thunderstorms).

A warning is issued when a severe weather condition has developed (e.g. a tornado warning is issued when one or more tornadoes are occurring in the area specified or detected on the Doppler radar).

Winter Watches and Warnings Wind chill is issued when wind combined with very cold temperatures create outdoor conditions hazardous to human activity.

Winter storm is issued when conditions are favourable for the development of severe winter weather such as heavy snowfall, strong winds and/or freezing rain.

Snowfall is issued when 15 cm or more of snow is expected to fall within 12 hours or less.

Snow squall is issued when there is a combination of heavy snowfalls, strong winds and reduced visibility. Squalls are a dangerous condition that can mean sudden changes of visibility and road conditions with little warning.

Blizzard is issued when a combination of cold, strong winds and blowing snow will cause widespread poor visibility for four hours or more.

Freezing rain is issued when it is expected to pose a hazard to transportation or property, or when freezing rain is expected for two hours or more.
