Total Liabilities $ 21,864,965
Annual Payments $4,506,792
Here is our list of our current debt projects. I did not include: Drainage as it is user pay, Shoreline Assistance Grant program as it is user pay, and minimal amounts for Waterworks related to Energy Upgrades as the amounts are small but are included in the total debt figures.
If you would like a copy of our complete list of long term debt please reach out to me via email and I will provide it to you. sbondy@essex.ca
I believe in the next term of council and even in the final year of this term we MUST get serious about our debt. This is the highest I have ever seen our debt levels and its time to reevaluate spending and find partnerships for wish list projects. For example, we still have not found naming rights for our Twin Pad Arena.
