At their meeting earlier this week the Town of Creighton reported receiving a request from Creighton Community School regarding scholarships.  The Town usually does two at one thousand dollars and a motion was passed to accept the request.

Council agreed to pass a motion giving first, second and third final reading to Bylaw 1-2023 to authorize tax levies and mill rate factors for the year 2023 for municipal and school purposes.  They also passed a motion to do the first, second and third final reading to Bylaw 2-2023 to provide for a minimum tax for the year 2023.  These Bylaws are pursuant to section 304 and 306 of the Saskatchewan Northern Municipalities Act 2010 to authorize tax levies and mill rate factors this year for municipal and school purposes.  A levy of nine mills will be made on local taxable assessment of the Town for Municipal purposes.  This year’s mill rate set by the Ministry of Education of Saskatchewan sees agricultural property at 1.42 mills, residential at 4.54 mills, commercial at 6.86 mills and resource at 9.88 mills.
