Homeowners in Beaconsfield probably won\u2019t receive their property tax bills from the city until late February this year, according to Mayor Georges Bourelle.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no choice, because Montreal has delayed [passing] its budget by one month,\u201d he told The Suburban.<\/i> \u201cRight now we\u2019re considering convening a special [city council] meeting on Feb. 17, to adopt our budget and the agglomeration council budget, by which time we will have enough information to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Beaconsfielders wait to find out how much they will have to fork over to the agglomeration collective, they won\u2019t be seeing a tax bill for their own city appear in their mailbox.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously our own billing to our taxpayers will be delayed,\u201d Mayor Bourelle said. \u201cNormally we would have had to pay by March 1 or thereabouts. That will be deferred until the end of March.\u201d<\/p>\n

He did not expect that the city would have to borrow from the bank in the meantime, to pay for day-to-day municipal operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt won\u2019t have a cash flow impact on the city,\u201d he reassured, \u201cbecause it will be in the same block of time as the delay of billing for the agglomeration, so our cash flow should not be affected unless there is a last-minute change that we\u2019re unaware of at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n

No multimillion-dollar windfall<\/b><\/p>\n

Mayor Bourelle also took issue with news reports during the holidays that the city \u201chad received $4.2 million saving money.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important that be clarified, because I\u2019ve received a lot of questions from citizens asking me what we were going to do with the [purported] savings,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn fact, we spent $5.4 million during 2013 on infrastructure maintenance,\u201d he explained, \u201cincluding the complete reconstruction of fresh water or sewage systems in one area, with the complete relining of the drinking water pipes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were simply able to recover some of those expenditures through government grants,\u201d he added. \u201cThe federal government paid us about $750,000 in cash and the rest will be paid to us by the provincial government\u2014over a period of ten years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe grants merely reduced a very large investment but the city still had a $1.2 million outlay and needs to borrow to finance the remaining work, Mayor Bourelle said. \u201cIn 2014, we expect to go through a similar process of infrastructure investment that will cost a substantial amount of money. Hopefully, we\u2019ll get grants again to reduce our net expenses. But no one should think that we ended up with a surplus of $4.2 and don\u2019t know what to do with it.\u201d <\/p>\n
