As part of the Authority's annual budget preparation process, a 15 year forecast is prepared. This forecast shows that in order to have a balanced budget by 2027, the amount assessed annually by the Authority to the City of Windsor and the 7 County municipalities will need to increase 4.1% for each year beginning with the 2019 budget. It is acknowledged that this is a significant annual increase but it is required due to the increasing Authority costs relative to debenture repayments and other non discretionary costs. Also contributing to the increase is the need to gradually move away from the past practice of unsustainable budget revenues budgeted to come from the Rate Stabilization Reserve, a practice that would eventually result in a very dramatic rate spike.

Conclusion:
The proposed 2020 increase for the EWSWA budget represents a balanced approach to addressing budget pressures while ensuring sustainable funding through gradual increases in tipping fees and municipal allocations.
