HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2012-12-13, Page 24THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2012. PAGE 23. The Council of the Municipalityof Morris-Turnberry recognizes thatit is important for the municipality to
have ownership and equity in the fire
services used for protection of the
property and residents in the
Municipality of Morris-Turnberry.
The Council of Morris-Turnberry
understands the importance of
working co-operatively with North
Huron, for the benefit of the entirearea.The municipality has given the
public an opportunity to comment
on the best options for the residents.
Morris-Turnberry Council and
North Huron Council met with
representatives from the Fire
Marshal’s office on Sept. 6, 2012
and discussed a joint fire service
model. Since that date, the joint fireservice option has been reviewedand discussed.
Therefore, the municipality has
made the following proposal to the
Township of North Huron:
• Morris-Turnberry Council is
willing to purchase 50 per cent of the
North Huron Fire Department and
enter into a joint fire service
agreement with North Huron for theoperation and capital purchases forthe department. Morris-Turnberry is
committed to pay North Huron up to
$1,000,000 for the purchase of 50
per cent of the actual assets of the
department.
• As a second alternative, Morris-
Turnberry would give consideration
to a fire suppression agreement, with
the levy based assessment, which
will vary every four years. In this
scenario with no ownership, Morris-
Turnberry will not pay a share of fire
prevention costs, reserve funds or
capital costs. • Morris-Turnberry Council askedfor the opportunity to address the
North Huron Council with this
proposal, on Dec. 3, 2012, however
Morris-Turnberry Council was
denied the opportunity to address the
North Huron Council.
• Morris-Turnberry will be giving
North Huron until Jan. 8, 2013 to
respond to this proposal.
“I feel that it is important to work
together for the betterment of the
area,” says Morris-Turnberry Mayor
Paul Gowing.
Continued from page 1
after the meeting, North Huron
Reeve Neil Vincent said the decision
was made not to allow Gowing’s
presentation because of the nature of
the negotiations between the two
sides.
Vincent said part of the problem is
Morris-Turnberry’s leaders
continually rehash issues spanning
back decades ago while the fire
service is something that took a lot
of effort and investment.
“One-million dollars doesn’t even
come close to covering what we’ve
invested,” said Vincent in reference
to the first option of Morris-
Turnberry’s offer. “Our volunteer
fire departments are such a gift to
our municipality. It is my obligation
to give these guys the proper
training and the proper equipment to
use.”
North Huron Council, which
meets again Dec. 17, is likely to
discuss Morris-Turnberry’s
options as presented at its Dec. 4
session, though Vincent notes
that meeting will likely be held in
camera (closed to the public)
session.
Vincent also noted Morris-
Turnberry has presented North
Huron Council with an array of
deadlines in the past. He adds
Morris-Turnberry is also on record
as pledging to create its own fire
service.
“Every time we’ve been in the
same room, they’ve been throwing
dirt at us, and trying to blindside us,”
said Vincent.
Vincent said it is his understanding
negotiations are underway
with Central Huron, and he said
attempts have been made to f
ind a compromise with Morris-
Turnberry.
“For not being in contract
negotiations, we’ve tried to have
joint meetings to see if there are
points we can work on.”
Morris-Turnberry releases its fire terms
