Huron East councillors have found
a solution to their clerk-
administrator issue and it (he) was
right in front of them.
Current treasurer Brad Knight will
be taking over for long-time clerk-
administrator Jack McLachlan when
McLachlan retires at the end of July.
This is the first time Huron East
has had to fill the clerk-administrator
position, and subsequently, the
treasurer position.
The decision was officially
announced after a closed-to-the-
public session of Huron East
Council at the end of its May 17
meeting.
McLachlan first took the position
of clerk in Tuckersmith on July 1,
1977. He remained at that post until
Tuckersmith amalgamated with four
other townships into Huron East in
2001, at which time he assumed the
role of clerk-treasurer for the newly-
formed municipality.
Around Christmas, McLachlan
officially announced that he would
be retiring from the position he had
held for nearly 10 years. He said he
would stay on until the end of June
in order to give the municipality
ample time to find a replacement.Now that the decision has beenmade, he has agreed to stay on for
one more month (which will
officially give him a full 10 years at
the position) in order to see Knight’s
transition through, in addition to the
hiring of a new treasurer, as Knight
will be vacating the position when
taking over as clerk-administrator on
August 1.
McLachlan said that Knight has a
great working knowledge of how
things are already being done in
Huron East and that his years of
working alongside McLachlan have
done nothing but help Knight to
know the issues Huron East faces
even better.
“I think he’ll do an excellent job,”
McLachlan said. “He knows the
issues and he and I have worked side
by side for years, so he has the
experience and he knows the area.”
Knight, who first took the post of
clerk-treasurer in Grey Township in
1985, followed a similar path to
McLachlan in coming to be
employed with Huron East. After
serving for over 15 years in Grey
Township, Knight was made
treasurer for the newly-formed
Municipality of Huron East, and has
served at that post ever since.
He said that going into last year,many of those involved with HuronEast, both staff and councillors,
knew that it was only a matter of
time until McLachlan made the
decision to retire, so Knight says
he’d be lying if the thought of
applying for the position hadn’t
crossed his mind.
When McLachlan officially
announced that he would begin
taking steps towards retirement,
Knight said he began taking the
application much more seriously.
Knight says that when he does
take over the position, he doesn’t
have any grand plans of change,
saying that McLachlan had been
doing a great job in running the
municipality and he hoped to build
on what McLachlan had already
accomplished.
“I think the municipality is fairly
stable and I hope that stability will
continue,” Knight said. “I’m not
anticipating drastic changes. We’re
all happy with the staff we have
here.”
Huron East Mayor Bernie
MacLellan said that while he hoped
to not take anything away from any
of the other applicants, he wanted to
congratulate Knight on being the
successful candidate for the position.
Huron East had brought in aprofessional consultant to help withthe hiring process and MacLellan
said he feels that the consultant
helped immensely with the hiring.
“It certainly was a long process for
the administration committee,”
MacLellan said. “It’s not a process
that we’re familiar with and it’s not
one we want to be familiar with.”MacLellan says that Knight willbe greeted with a tough job as soon
as he comes out of the gate in hiring
a new treasurer to fill the position
that he will be vacating.
“This is going to be something that
[Knight] is not accustomed to,”
MacLellan said.
