The average homeowner with a home valued at $322,204 will pay an extra 48-cents per day on the township's portion of their bill.

It works out to $174.93 for the year.

Council approved more than $9-million in capital expenditures, over $5-million for operating requirements and a more than $786,000 contribution to the infrastructure levy.

The construction of a new fire hall is one of the big projects in the budget.

It's going to replace station 1 and station 2 and will act as the department's primary headquarters.
