Comment:
Hilton Township’s total operating costs for general
government support totalled $91,126. (18.5% of the total municipal
operating costs of $492,429).
The reduction in operating costs over the Year 2000 is the
result of two items: 1) In the Year 2000 we were invoiced for
three years of legal services 2) In the Year 2000 we incurred
significant miscellaneous costs associated with the disposal of
surplus land.

Efficiency Measure
Operating costs for fire services per $1,000 of assessment.
Objective
Efficient municipal fire services.
|
|
Comment:
The Township of Hilton and the Village of Hilton Beach jointly
own and operate the fire department. All revenue and costs are
shared equally. The department is comprised of volunteer
firefighters.
The total operating costs for the Year 2001 was $18,369. This
figure is divided in half to represent the actual cost of fire
services for Hilton Township.
The results of the above calculation mean that if your property
was assessed at $100,000, your annual tax bill would include costs
of approximately $29.00 to cover the operational fire costs. This
is a $1.00 increase over the Year 2000.

Comment:
Hilton Township’s operating costs for the Year 2001 for
winter and summer maintenance of 10.8 km double lanes of paved
roads was $7,266.
These operating costs do not include those costs associated
with contract work performed by our Roads Department (ie. Village
of Hilton Beach).
A breakdown of costs for maintenance on paved roads was not
part of the Year 2000 reporting schedules.
Factors such as significant fuel cost fluctuations; excessive
snowfall; wind and rain storms can have a dramatic impact on costs
from year to year.

Comment:
Hilton Township’s operating costs for the Year 2001 for
winter maintenance of 40 km of double lanes of roads was $17,080.
Factors such as significant fuel cost fluctuations; excessive
snowfall; wind and freezing rain storms can have a dramatic impact
on costs from year to year.
In comparison to the Year 2000, costs were reduced by $70/per
km. This was largely due to the easier winter our area experienced
in 2001.
|
Comment:
The 4 km of double lane paved roads that we do not consider to
be in good to very good condition are roads that were paved many
years ago. Reconditioning these roads to bring them up to
municipal standards involves significant costs that will need to
be phased over the next several years.

school bus routes are clear. Following that, all other winter
maintained roads are brought to a safe and passable state.

Efficiency Measure
Operating costs for solid waste diversion (recycling) per tonne
or per household.
Objective
Waste programs divert garbage from landfills and incinerators. |
|
Comment:
Recycling is a new service offered to our residents since June
2001. The operation is run jointly with several neighbouring
municipalities. Each municipality pays an equal share regardless
of the size of their population. The above figure has been
adjusted to estimate a full year’s results, based on the actual
six month calculations. If the tonnage figures are used, Hilton
Township diverted 7.4 tonnes of solid waste at a cost of $167 per
tonne. |
|
This measure is reported by municipalities which are
responsible for solid waste diversion.
This measure is optional for municipalities with integrated
solid waste management systems.
A municipality is required to report result in total tonnes. If
tonnage figure is unavailable, the household numbers may be used.
