The South East Health Unit is delaying a decision on how to divide the cost of its funding between the municipalities it serves.
At its meeting yesterday, the Board of Health deferred motions related to the harmonization of municipal levies to the September meeting, and asked staff to include a summary of information presented to the board previously and key points from prior discussions so that they can make an informed decision.
The board is considering splitting contributions to the health unit’s funding on a per-capita basis, with each municipality contributing an equal amount per resident.
Staff will be preparing a briefing note with additional explanatory information, including a comparison of the impact to services at different funding levels.
