Central Huron is introducing new
cemetery fees for the first time in a
decade, but the proposed increases
did not pass without some debate.
Councillor Alison Lobb
questioned whether some of the fee
increases, which in some cases are
more than double, are too much too
soon.
While Mayor Jim Ginn noted it
has been a decade since the feeswere increased, clerk BrendaMacIsaac explained it took a number
of years to make the changes since
municipal staff were waiting for
provincial officials to make their
final changes to the Cemeteries Act,
which was just completed last year.
Though both Councillors Lobb
and Brian Barnim suggested phasing
in the new fees, the clerk noted it is
important to begin to bring the fees
up the actual costs involved since,
for example, $16,000 in cemeteryfees were collected this year whileactual expenses for the municipality
totalled $84,000.
“What caught everybody off-guard
is the care and maintenance [fees set
by the province]”, she said.
While Lobb noted neighbouring
municipalities have fees in the $300
to $589 range, she asked whether the
new charges would allow the
municipality to break even. “No, but
it will bring it closer,” replied the
clerk.After some debate, council alsochose to continue to allow the
purchase of extra deep plots, at a
newly-increased price of $500, so
that families can use one plot if they
so choose.

Central Huron Mayor Jim Ginn
Central Huron is facing some
“difficulties” with the Ministry of
Municipal Affairs and Housing with
regard to the boundary adjustment
agreement with the Town ofGoderich.“This needs to be done by the end
of the year,” said Ginn, adding the
ministry wants the water lots
removed from the agreement,
meaning the document itself has
changed, thereby necessitating
another public meeting.
Central Huron has set 5 p.m., Oct.
8 for the time and date of a special
public meeting to discuss the
boundary agreement.
Cemetery fees increase for first time in 10 years
