The Citizen During their first meeting of the new year on Jan. 3, North Huron debated the usefulness of a proposed program to help offset costs of increased security for courts and transportation of prisoners. The proposal sees the downloading of responsibility and costs associated with some prisoner transfers and the security of the court in Wingham from the Ministry of the Attorney General to the township with some financing to aid with the costs. Deputy Reeve David Riach suggested Council read the proposed bylaw twice but hold off on a third reading until some discussion could be had. “I read through this probably five or six times and from what I can see it’s a nice gesture on behalf of the Ministry of the Attorney General to give us this $6,000 over three years, but it’s a bit of a joke,” Riach said. “It’s a form of downloading with very little remuneration to cover our costs. I think this is going to be a very costly venture and the amount of dollars they are proposing to give us versus what it is actually going to cost us doesn’t match up.” Reeve Neil Vincent was similarly concerned about the issue, but did provide some background on it. “By 2018 this is supposed to be among many things that will be absorbed by a higher tier government,” he said. “It was downloaded as part of a shift in the 1990s by the federal and provincial governments to bail their budgets out. Actions like this are supposed to reverse that trend.” Councillor Ray Hallahan stated that even if it was set to be re- absorbed by a higher tier in 2018, it was more expensive for the township until then. Vincent stated that it seemed like a very complicated system in which the money can’t sit in an account until it’s needed, but must be returned if it’s not being used. “If we put it in an account or use it in the wrong way, it must be returned and it seems like it would be difficult to know exactly how to use it,” he said. “To me it looks like a program that is meant for a lot bigger municipalities and budgets than ours.” Vincent stated that the program would cost as much to implement and train staff on as it would save the township for the first few months. NH debates CSPT program R.I.D.E. charges laid The OPP Festive R.I.D.E campaign from Nov. 25, 2011 to Jan. 1, 2012 removed a total of 1,203 impaired drivers off our roads and highways that are policed by the OPP.
