Councillors keep new car for Warden in budget

Posted October 30, 2012

Simcoe County provides its Warden with a vehicle, which is replaced new every three years. The next purchase is scheduled for next year and will proceed as planned after councillors agreed today to keep the replacement policy in place.

The worst case scenario, according to the draft budget package was "the Warden will keep the current vehicle in use and the County will have surpassed the County policy time frame regarding Warden vehicle replacement by one year."

The draft budget includes $60,000 for a new vehicle but with the estimated trade-in value of $25,000 on the current vehicle, the budget impact is $35,000.
