M-T still against
inspection program
Morris-Turnberry will not
reconsider participating in the
county’s mandatory septic tank
inspection program.
At their Jan. 6 meeting,
councillors decided not to reopen
the issue. The 2010 council had
been one of three municipalities in
the county not to approve the
program in principle. The county
had offered to come and make a new
presentation since there had been
such a wholesale turnover of the
council in the 2010 municipal
election.
If all nine municipalities were
involved, the county’s program
forecast a cost of $31 per year per
household, with every septic tank
required to be pumped out and
inspected every five years. At a total
projected cost of $125,000 a year,
the per-home costs will be higher if
all municipalities don’t take
part.
Deputy-Mayor Jason
Breckenridge said he could see the
need of septic tank reinspection for
homes that were near municipal
wells but “I don’t think it’s in the
best interests of taxpayers for
everyone to do it.”
Mayor Paul Gowing reasserted his
doubts, made in the 2010
discussion, about the effectiveness
of the inspection proposal.
***
Councillors learned that the cost
of Ontario Provincial Policing for
Morris-Turnberry will increase 2.7
per cent for 2011.
“It’s one of the areas (of the
budget) we don’t have much control
over,” Gowing told council.
***
Morris-Turnberry’s premiums
under the Workplace Safety and
Insurance Board (WSIB) will
increase by 10 per cent this year
after a similar increase in 2010.
***
Tax arrears stood at 9.7 per cent at
the end of 2010, down from 10.3
percent at the end of 2009 but up
from 8.7 per cent in 2008. Arrears
have ranged from only 7.2 per cent
in 2006 to a high of 11.3 per cent in
2005.

In planning issues, council agreed
to lift the “hold” designation on a lot
on Corbett Drive in Belgrave to
allow the construction of a house.
The designation had been placed on
the property in 2002 to assure
“appropriate and orderly
development” on the property which
has a “natural environment”
designation on part of the lot.

North Huron Councillors were
confused and concerned with the
way they were appointed to
committees during their recent
meeting.
North Huron’s Reeve and Chief
Administrative Officer (CAO) have
traditionally assigned the positions
of the various committees that
council has representatives sit on,
and did the same thing this year,
however some councillors
questioned the practice.
“I think council members would
have appreciated the opportunity to
say which committees they wish to
be a part of,” Councillor Brock
Vodden stated. “I’m not unhappy
with the list, but I wish I would have
had a chance to express an opinion.”
Deputy Reeve David Riach asked
if councillors could request to be
transferred from a position if they
find they have a conflict with the
group.
“If, after a year or two sitting on a
committee, can a replacement be
found if we need a change?” He
asked.
Reeve Neil Vincent said that that
is always an option.
The current list of committee
appointments was approved by
council, but there may be some
debate before the list is repopulated
for 2012, as it is decided annually.
“We’ll talk about changes for the
2012 bylaw later in the year,”
Vincent stated.

practising their lines.
Last week each student in the
school received a Christmas book.
The school has purchased many
books from easy reading for
younger students and young adult
books for Grade 6, 7 and 8 students.
We also have a couple of new Kobo
readers to allow students and staff to
read ebooks (electronic books).
These are great tools to encourage
students to try reading by using
“cool technology” to get them
interested.

The Huron County Farm and
Home Safety Association may be
getting some much-needed help, if
North Huron council has its way.
The group, which visits schools
and events to inform about farm
safety, has been running on minimal
staff for some time, and wrote a
letter to North Huron council
requesting aid.
Reeve Neil Vincent stated that,
while the letter simply requested
help, he believed it to be more a
manpower request than one for
financial aid.
“They’ve done very good work
teaching safety, especially to public
school age children,” Vincent
stated. “The problem is they only
have three volunteers to cover the
entire county.”
Vincent went on to state that the
problem facing the group is finding
volunteers who aren’t busy and that
are willing to get out and help.
Councillor Brock Vodden stated
that it was unfortunate that the
group was facing these problems.
“With a small group, you find one
person committing themselves to a
lot of time and energy spent,” he
said. “They’ve got a good mandate,
it’s a shame they can’t find the help
they need.”
Deputy Reeve David Riach, who
had recently been appointed to the
Central Huron committee for Injury
Prevention (CHIP), suggested that,
since the two groups share a similar
mandate, they may be able to help
each other.
“I’ll bring it up to CHIP and see if
we can work together,” Riach said.
Vincent agreed, stating that if
Riach could find the help, it would
be beneficial.
“My understanding is that their
mandate is farm safety [and
different from CHIP’s],” he said.
“But with [Riach] being on CHIP,
maybe... some kind of alliance can
be formed.”

Huron East Councillor Bill
Siemon, of the wind turbine hotbed
McKillop Ward, brought a motion
to Huron County Council at its Jan.
5 meeting.
He had crafted the bylaw with the
help of Huron East councillors in
December, asking that a committee
be formed with members of the
lower-tier municipalities, as well as
members of Huron County staff and
the Huron County Planning
Department to investigate the issue
of wind turbines.
He said he felt it was time to get
Huron County Council involved on
the issue and felt it was time to
bring the motion forward.
Siemon was forced to officially
bring the motion forward for
discussion at the Committee of the
Whole meeting on Jan. 12.
