Questions & Answers

1. What services do you believe should be considered basic and essential for the Village?

Amberley Village is regarded as a great community to live in because of its core services- police, fire and maintenance. Expenditures beyond these core services are not required.

2. How would you balance the Village Budget?

Some limited tax increases will be necessary to balance the budget. The Village has been operating at a deficit for a number of years now and using surpluses built more than 10 years ago. The surplus is almost gone now and it is not possible to simply cut expenditures to eliminate the deficit. We should target the tax increases to be temporary and as new revenue sources are developed, we must have a discipline to review the continued need for the tax increases.

3. What actions will you take to support clean air?

As individuals living in Amberley, there are small measures that we can all take, however,this is not an area that Amberley Village through its local governance can make a difference.
