2020 Financial Plan Public Meeting Salmo and Area G February 10, 2020
Agenda • Summary of Regional District Taxation Model; • Service Delivery; • Overall Assessments and Impact; • Sub Regional Assessments and Impact; • Summary of Taxation for 2020 – Major Changes; and • Service by Service Discussion.
Regional District Model • BC Specific; • Allows rural residents to benefit from services normally seen only in municipalities; • Reduces the cost of those services for all by bringing in broader assessment base; • Service in rural areas either covers the whole area or a defined portion based on benefit derived.
Defined Area • Not all of a rural area benefits from every service; • When the service was established, an area was mapped out to determine who would benefit; • Some are easy to determine (fire protection, mosquito abatement); • Some are more difficult to derive (parks, recreation, contribution services).
RDCK Services • Governance and Administration; • Planning and Land Use (Rural); • Building Inspection (Rural and Municipal); • Fire Protection; • Recreation, Parks; • Resource Recovery, Waste, Recycling; and • Taxation to Fund Societies and Organizations providing service (library, community halls, museums, recreation (Summit Lake Ski Hill).
Board Strategic Priorities • Board did a complete review of its strategic priorities in 2019. • Adoption of the Plan will occur in February or March. • Many projects the RDCK is currently working on line up with these priorities.

Assessment Changes • Many factors impact the assessment movement; • Market vs. Non Market Change • Market change means the current inventory of properties is worth more; and • Non market change means that there are more properties and the tax base grew in “numbers” as well as value.
Area G / Salmo 2019 2020 Change 42,902,746 45,188,919 5.33% ELECTORAL AREA ‘G’ 12,566,705 14,174,496 12.79% VILLAGE OF SALMO • Assessments increased in both the Village and Area G, however at different increments. The level of change does have an impact on the portion of taxation that each area. • The fact that Area G increased more than Salmo means that if taxation in a service remained constant ($100,000), then Area G residents would collectively pick up more of the tax burden in 2019 than they did in 2018. • Different impact for services that work on % basis (Museum, Library, Recreation, Salmo Pool).
