The attached agreements have been reviewed by the staff and solicitors of all three participants and are now being forwarded for approval. The tax agreement provides for tax sharing of the Municipal portion of taxes with Langford receiving 59 2/3 percent of the taxes, Beecher Bay 33 1/3 percent and Metchosin receiving 7 percent for the proposed Industrial Park lands and a 60% Langford and 40% Metchosin split for the Ridley land being incorporated into Langford. ### Options Source pages: 1–1 ## Options That Council: 1.
