Huron East says no to sharing drainage supt. services
Huron East has said thanks, but no
thanks in regards to sharing the
services of a drainage
superintendent with North Huron
and Morris-Turnberry — at least for
the time being.
In a letter from Nancy Michie and
Sharon Chambers of Morris-
Turnberry and North Huron
respectively, the two municipalities
inquire about potentially sharing
services with Huron East. The letter
states that in the two municipalities,
drainage is handled through the
public works department and the
workload is becoming too heavy.
In Huron East, Chief
Administrative Officer Brad Knight
told councillors at their July 19
meeting that the municipality's
drainage needs are also handled by
the public works department.
Ten years ago, Knight said, Joe
Ryan took on the job as the
municipality's drainage super-
intendent. Since then, he's been
made a foreman in the department
and the workload has increased.
Knight also suggested that Huron
East's costs for drainage are very
low compared to some of the figures
that were being discussed. Annual
costs for drainage in Huron East are
$6,000, half of which is covered by a
government grant.
Compare that, Knight said, to the
$138,000 in drainage work that was
done in Huron East last year and the
municipality is getting off cheap.
In recent years, as Ryan's
workload has increased due to his
promotion to foreman, the workload
has been tough at times, Knight said,
but much of the work has been able
to be back-filled at the office.
Councillor David Blaney, among
others, suggested that Huron East
shouldn't completely shut itself off
from the potential sharing of
drainage superintendent services
with Morris-Turnberry and North
Huron, but just respond by saying
that the status quo in Huron East is
working fine right now.
Councillors agreed and
correspondence will be sent to the
municipalities asking that Huron
East be kept in the loop in regards to
future decisions regarding the
position.
