Income ’offsets’ budget overrun However, estimated revenue puts it under its $68‘088,594 total by $307,286, he said. The figures were contained in a report giving the estimated exâ€" penditures and revenue for the year ending Dec; 31. The report was requested by Trustee Warren Bailie of Richmond Hill “with a view to ac- cumulating the largest possible surplus to reduce the mill rate for 1977." According to superintendent of business George Ford, the differing figures were the result of the additional cost of supply teachers and the board’s inability to foresee exact costs of set- tlements negotiated after the budget was completed. AURORA â€" York County board of education director Sam Chapman has taken a close look at the board‘s 1976 budget and found it over spent by $287,890.

Aurora trustee Norm Weller asked that the board meet “right away“ to make cuts for all 12 months next year, but the board decided that Nov. 29 would be soon enough. He served as assistant superin- tendent of the Royal Winter Fair poultry division and was to have been superintendent this year. She said the board had always in- tended to give parity in its negotiations, and the over expenditure in the budget was “just bad arithmetic” and won many grand champion awards and plaques at the Canadian National Exhibition and Royal Agricultural Fair. He was a member of St. John’s Baptist Church. Following the meeting, trustee Joy Horton of East Gwillimbury, told The Liberal she felt the report was “misleading.” Regardless of where the money came from, there was still a deficit of $287,890. The secondary surplus couldn’t be used for elementary pur- poses. u u “They didn't give us what we needed to make a decision,” Mrs. Horton said. “We must see if some of that money can be used for elementary needs, such as in staff adjustments.“ She said they already had a 10 per cent increase in the mill rate for next year. and suggested the budget be frozen at its present total of $68,376,484.

Joyce said the approval could take from two to three months. Other changes included in the new settlement regard fringe benefits, group life insurance and dental in- surance. Joyce said the board has agreed to increase life insurance policies from $15,000 to $25,000 and will pick up 55 per cent of the cost if the AIB agrees to the settlement.

Whatever the deadline, however. Knight said the matter would be too late to be considered this year. It would take to the end of the year to compile municipal comments.
