Please Recycle This Newspaper Continued from page 12 however, who has been clamoring for a strategic planning session for the municipality for years, stated that it’s important to remember the difference between service delivery review and strategic planning, as the lines are often blurred by councillors. When asked, Marshall said that he hoped the strategic planning session would help establish goals and priorities for the municipality in the long-term future. The document, he said, could be a reference point for councillors and staff down the road when developing policy and shaping the municipality going forward into the future. Councillor David Blaney said that raising taxes is always going to be a hot button issue, but if the value for those taxes is clearly explained to residents, he has found in his travels, that residents are far more understanding and accepting of taxes. He said, for example, that if most residents were told that their taxes would rise $10 a month in order to keep the local community centre open, most would likely be happy to pay it, provided they know what that money is going toward. Chartrand said he was satisfied with the figures Michiels provided to council. He said that further review may be necessary, but after what he saw from Knight and Michiels, he was convinced that it could happen internally, rather than by hiring an outside consultant. Councillor Larry McGrath said that taxes aren’t a complete picture, saying that assessment has risen dramatically in the last 12 years. After being handed a copy of the assessment on their own homes since 2003, councillors all saw how taxes had affected their own properties. McGrath, looking at his own tax bill, said that costs associated on his property had risen $1,000 over that time period. Rising taxes and assessment are inevitable, McGrath said, but where Huron East can make progress is by cutting services, something council never wants to do, he said. Deputy-Mayor Joe Steffler, always an advocate for economic development, had a different take. He said that while cutting services and raising taxes are short-term solutions, in the long-term Huron East needs to increase its tax base through welcoming more business and growing its population. He said it may be tough immediately, putting money into economic development initiatives, but that it would pay off in the long run. After the lengthy conversation, council decided to send the concept to the administration committee, which would then decide how to proceed with strategic planning and a service delivery review, with recommendations to come back to council. Review goes to admin. Cramped conditions at the Blyth and District Community Centre have caused another increase in the cost of the new Blyth well system according to North Huron Chief Operator Don Nicholson. Constructed on a property adjacent to the community centre, the facilities for the well were supposed to be run from the centre. Nicholson reported to council that, after review, it was decided there wasn’t enough space or privacy for the equipment, so, at a cost of approximately $120,000, a new building will be erected. The costs will be taken from the water reserve and added to the 2016 budget. *** The extreme weather on Aug. 2 which resulted in a downburst near Lucknow also had significant ramifications in the area according to North Huron Reeve Neil Vincent. Due to the storms, some people lost power in Huron County until Tuesday evening, Vincent reported in his Aug. 4 Reeve’s Report. He said that estimates at the time would have the power out into the night on the day of the meeting. *** The Wingham RC Jet Rally brought 63 registered pilots from Quebec, Ontario, New Jersey and Illinois to the Richard W. LeVan Airport outside of Wingham according to North Huron Director of Recreation and Facilities Pat Newson. She reported, during council’s Aug. 2 meeting, that 200 cars and 30 campers, tents and trailers were involved with the weekend. She also stated that the weekend was the focus of an economic impact study which will be included as part of the airport’s feasibility study. Building to cost $120K
