HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1973-04-05, Page 11The initial steps toward county-wide plumbing and building inspection were ap- proved by Huron County Council at last Thursday's session in the court house at Goderich. It is expected the cost of the plumbing and building division of the Board of Health will be fully supported on a user pays basis and with a sliding fee scale of $15 for the first $1,000 of constructive value; $7.50 per $1,000 for the next $24,000 of construction; $5 per $1,000 for values of $25,000 to $50,000; $2.50 per $1,000 for $50,000 to $100,000; and $2 per $1,000 for values in excess of $100,000. Medical Officer of Health Dr. Frank Mills told council that a plumbing inspec- tion bylaw would be drawn up by the county board of health and a presentation concerning its content would be made to every municipal council in the county. Although the municipalities are automomous as far as plumbing inspection . is concerned, Dr. Mills said it would be hoped that a majority of the municipalities, if not all, would adopt the suggested plum- bing bylaw for their own. Chairman of the committee, Gerry Ginn of Goderich Township, said the board hopes that uniformity across the county where plumbing inspection is- concerned, will be achieved. Ginn said the main purpose of the county inspection plan is to protect the public from "poor contractors and that sort of thing". "We know from past experiences there are houses that are not very old and they're having real problems," said Ginn. "The matter has been under discussion for about a year now." Mrs. Helen Jermyn of Exeter said the citizens of that community are "grateful" for the building inspector and she felt a plumbing inspection would be welcome, too. Derry Boyle, also of Exeter, said that the main concern centres around new con- tractors coming in from outside the area. He told of one house in Exeter that con- tained 57 infractions of Exeter's building bylaw and sold for $28,000. Dr. Mills said that when the program is initiated, persons who issue building per- mits will be charged with the responsibility to be certain the building lot is suitable for the use intended; that the proper plans have been presented; and that the plans are carried out in the building as it is con- structed. He said a typical problem now shows up when the property is resold, after the septic system is covered, after the plumbing and wiring has been hidden behind panelling and plaster. He said a call from a lady with a contaminated well in a home just recen- tly purchased revealed the septic system too close to the well although the new owners had been given assurances the well was in another spot on the property. He said in too many cases, the problems arise "after the fact" and he noted that while he was as reluctant as anyone to get into the business of plumbing and building inspections on a county basis, it was impor- tant for the protection of county citizens. It was estimated the program from July I to the end of 197:3 could run as high as $20,000 for one qualified administrator, secretary and two combined building and plumbing inspectors. Everett Mcllwain said he felt the estimate was low and should be multiplied by two or two and a half. Rec. program to go again Huron County will have a children's recreation program again this summer and the emphasis will be on communities where there is no recreation committee or recreational director to get things under- way. According to Spence Cummings of the development department, it will be much the same as the program carried out last summer by Mrs. Moira Conner except this year there will be one co-ordinator and two student helpers, one for the north of the county and one for the south. Total cost of the program is estimated at $6,029 with the province picking up $5,100 and the county less than $1,000. Stan Profit of Goderich told council that while the program is basically for children, it will provide adults an opportunity to get involved by helping to provide some leadership. "That can be a recreation and very rewarding," stated Profit. Cummings said the object of the program this year will be to encourage recreation committees in communities where there are none. Huron County board of education will be asked April 16 by one of its members to consider rescinding an October 1971 resolution and to return to its original for- mat of two open meetings. Mrs. Dorothy Wallace, a Goderich representative on the board, gave notice-of- motion that she will ask that a resolution organizing the board into standing commit- tees be rescinded. :Fr She said the original setup of the board offered better communications among members and between the board and the Wants meetings 'opened up again public. The original format, established with the board in January of 1969, called for two monthly open meetings and made provisions for committee of the whole meetings and committee of the whole in camera meetings. Since October 1971, the board has been operating under five standing committees and holding one open meeting a month — a system that was devised4in an attempt to make fewer meetings necessary for mem- bers to attend.
