Re: Notice of Intention to Pass a By-Law to Undertake the Construction of Sanitary Sewer and Private DrainConnectionsonBaselineRoadfrom7thConcessionRoadto8th ConcessionRoadundertheNEW Local Improvement Policy I am a resident on Baseline Road and have concerns with the per meter charge and private connection fee. This cost is considerably more than before November 2019, and quite an extreme increase.

Our homes were amalgamated in 2003 and for 17 years we have paid more taxes than when we were part of Tecumseh and no additional services in return. We do not have sidewalks, streetlights, a library, a community center or even a park to utilize close to our neighbourhood. Why wasn’t our “extra tax money” from new city taxpayers set aside for local improvements to our infrastructure, specifically sanitary sewers to replace our septics? How did the City not earmark our extra tax income for our street improvements when, in all seriousness, they knew, we knew, EVERYONE knew a detention centre, airport improvements, and future hospital would happen. Not to mention other development, residential and commercial around our little street.

The current construction cost of the sewer system will add $1K-$2K per year to our already very high property taxes, even if we choose the City provided financial assistance option. This is unacceptable, especially in this economic reality we are facing because of Covid-19. Additional concerns regarding the above.

I am asking that the rates revert back to the pre November 2019 rates for both the per linear meter rate and private connection fee.

Thank you, Hardeep Jhattu
