Huron East begins second review in three years Huron East will begin its service delivery review, in a way, next month when council begins reviewing its previous service delivery review. After being faced with the ever- escalating costs associated with running three recreation centres, two of which were significantly over budget in 2014, and ongoing Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund (OMPF) cuts, several councillors requested a service delivery review. This comes just two years after the municipality carried out a service delivery review, however, very few, if any, actions came out of the 2013 review. Council has committed to hiring an outside consultant to review the municipality’s level of service and to search for potential efficiencies going forward. New councillors, however, felt that in order to stand on the same level playing field as councillors who were in office for the 2013 review, there needed to be a comprehensive review of the previous review, to ensure that everyone was up to speed. Councillor Ray Chartrand led the discussion, saying it was unfair to councillors first elected to office last fall to comment on service delivery alongside councillors who had been through a similar review in 2013. While Chartrand and Mayor Bernie MacLellan have butted heads over the issue in previous meetings, councillors agreed they would spend several meeting hours, rather than MacLellan’s suggestion that new councillors catch up on the 2013 review on their own time, re-visiting the review of two years ago. At council’s July 7 meeting, Chief Administrative Officer Brad Knight said that the review will begin next month, as Treasurer Paula Michiels will be absent for council’s scheduled July 20 meeting.
