The committee requested that North Huron Township provide seed money, as they had for other homecoming events, and that the funds be channeled through the BIA as the committee doesn't have the ability to handle the funds. While council was in favour of giving the money, Councillor Bill Knott, the Blyth BIA's representative on council and vice - versa, pointed out the committee had "jumped the gun a little bit." "To the best of my knowledge this letter is from the committee chairperson [Crystal Taylor]," he said. "It should be from the BIA itself. Although it was discussed by the BIA, there was no formal vote by the BIA to actually do this. This letter from the chair is not a valid application for a loan. It should go back to the BIA, be voted on properly and then brought back to council." Knott said the letter needed to come from the BIA, not a committee and the issue should be deferred until the issue is properly requested from the BIA. Councillor Brock Vodden said he appreciated Knott's thinking, but suggested that council look at reducing the bureaucracy in some way and take the request at face value until the BIA could provide an official comment on it. Reeve Neil Vincent, however, said the legality of the issue was at question and that the letter is from an individual and not the group. Chief Administrative Officer Sharon Chambers suggested that council approve the loan, pending approval by the BIA, which council agreed with. NH to discuss development charges bylaw North Huron Council is looking at increasing development charges throughout all its wards, however Blyth could see the highest increase. The charges are paid by those looking to build new structures within the municipality to offset the cost of infrastructure work necessary for development. While some municipalities have been using the charges for more than two decades, according to B.M. Ross and Associates representative, Matt Pearson, North Huron will soon reach the end of its first five- year term with development charges. Pearson went through the changes to the policy that allow municipalities to collect the money and explained that the municipality's existing policy will expire in October. "The previous bylaw can't be extended," he said. " A new bylaw and background report is required" While charges can be applied to any development, North Huron, as well as other municipalities, decided to only charge for residential development so as not to drive industrial or commercial developers away. Over the past five years, 23 single family houses and three multi -unit structures were constructed in the municipality which were affected by the charge. As some members of council were not on the council -of -the -day that approved the previous document, several questions were asked about the process through which the original document was designed. Pearson explained that the township, along with local developers, decided on charges both felt would work. This resulted in residential developments in the East Wawanosh and Blyth wards being charged up to $1,475 per development, the full value possible, and Wingham ward development being charged $4,500, slightly less than half what the municipality could have collected. For the next five years, however, with significant infrastructure projects planned in the Blyth ward, development charges there could increase to a maximum of $2,563.56 for residential builds. This comes as a result of water services and the fact that the charges can now be used to offset transportation fees, including roadways. Changes in both East Wawanosh and Wingham wards could also increase based on the inclusion of the transportation charges. Wingham ward developments could be charged up to $5,104.39 while East Wawanosh, where the largest amount of residential development has occured in the last five years, could be charged up to $1,651.26. Charges vary depending on the type of residential unit. Council approved a recommended motion from Director of Finance Donna White which will see a draft bylaw prepared and made available by Sept. 2. This will allow the municipality to host public consultation on the document before making a final decision prior to Oct. 17, when the previous bylaw expires.
