Brad Knight, CAO/Clerk 72 Main St. S., PO Box 610, Seaforth, ON NOK 1 WO 519-527-0160 HE reconsiders council size By Shawn Loughlin The Citizen Huron East Council will again examine reducing its size after a debate at its upcoming meeting on Aug. 22. After council passed a resolution to reduce the size of council from 12 members to 11 by eliminating the at - large deputy -mayor position and rather appointing a deputy -mayor from one of the 10 elected councillors in April, 2016, Chief Administrative Officer Brad Knight wanted council to wait until he drafted a bylaw to make the decision final. At council's Aug. 8 meeting, Knight said that, among other things, he wanted to wait until the council restructuring in Ashfield- Colborne-Wawanosh (ACW) was made final before council made its decision. While Knight thought the ACW decision would provide guidance for Huron East, ACW council went in an unexpected direction, he said, deciding to elect a reeve and deputy - reeve at large, one councillor from each ward and an additional two councillors at -large. He also said that budget implications would be minimal. While one councillor honorarium would be eliminated (because the councillor appointed to the deputy -mayor position would then receive the deputy -mayor level honorarium of $6,989 per year compared to a councillor's honorarium of $4,338) the deputy - mayor appointed from within would still do all the work of an at -large deputy -mayor. The April decision came after a recommendation from the Administration Committee that suggested reducing the size of council to seven members. One mayor and one deputy -mayor, both elected at -large, and one councillor for each of the five wards. The committee also recommended the abolishment of the administration, personnel and water and sewer committees and a move to three council meetings a month. Councillor Ray Chartrand, who, along with Councillor Bob Fisher, first raised the issue when council voted down the reduction to seven members, insists that the move to abolish the at -large deputy -mayor position makes sense. Chartrand presented written notes on the subject at the Aug. 8 meeting, saying that he found hundreds of municipalities and cities throughout Ontario that function without an at -large deputy -mayor and he felt it was a good way to improve efficiency at the council level. In his report to council, Knight worried that eliminating the at - large deputy -mayor position would hurt democratic engagement in the municipality — both from a voter turnout standpoint and by encouraging fewer people to run for elected positions in Huron East. The bylaw, which has now been run through the legal vetting process ahead of the 2018 municipal election, will be up for debate at council's Aug. 22 meeting. Mill Street project to go ahead By Denny Scott The Citizen The long-awaited infrastructure work on Mill Street is slated to start next month. In early August, pre -construction started on the project which will see improvements to road infrastructure resulting in more controlled overland stormwater flow, as well as changes to alleviate flooding on the sanitary sewer system. The project has been on North Huron Council's to-do list for years with provincial funding being sought for nearly half a decade. During a recent Blyth Business Improvement Area (BIA) meeting, Interim Chief Administrative Officer Larry McGregor explained that the construction is expected to start a week after Labour Day and that this phase of the project will be done by the end of October. He said those estimations are weather - dependant. During the construction, portions of Westmoreland Street will be inaccessible. In addition, he said it is foreseeable that during the Festival of Wizardy in October, the Bainton's Old Mill parking lot will be inaccessible. The business itself, however, will be accessible on -foot. This phase of the project will include work nearly to the intersection of Mill and Drummond Streets. For more information on the project, contact North Huron Township at 519-357-3550. 1 Breathe through a straw for 60 seconds. That's what breathing is like with cystic fibrosis.
