Although the Ontario
Municipal Board just approved
the formation of the Exeter
Downtown Business Improve-
ment Area program last week,
members of that group's board
of directors have already ac-
complished a considerable
amount of work in anticipation of
that decision.
Ron Cottrell, who spearheaded
the move to get the Ontario
government backed program in-
stituted in Exeter, said a number
of meetings have already been
held since businessmen asked
council to establish the group.
In order to do that, council
were required to circulate a
notice of that intention to all
property owners in the
designated area. Only two ob-
jected and these were subse-
quently passed on to the OMB
who handed down their ruling in
favor of the project in a letter to
council last week.
Cottrell has been named chair-
man of the group and vice-
chairman is Bob Swartman. The
secretary's job is being under-
taken by Harold Gunn and Earl
Campbell is treasurer.
Other directors include Gerry
Gray, Jon Dinney and council's
appointee, Reeve Si Simmons,
"We've had a number of
meetings," Cottrell advised this
week and explained that two
main committees have been ap-
pointed, those being promotion
and planning.
Gray is chairman of the plan-
ning committee while Dinney
and Swartman are co-chairmen
of the promotion committee.

spender, the road department
budget is not the largest. The
social services budget holds that
honor.
Operations of Huronview will
take most of that budget though,
with estimated expenditures over
the next year of $2,420,398, an
increase of about 10 per cent, Of
that sum the department of
community and social serices of
Ontario will provide $1,159,762
however, leaving the county
share at $200,438.
The 1977 budget will also
provide an 18 percent increase in
council members' honoraria over
last year's actual spending,
although the new figure of $84,800
is nearly $10,000 less than the
total allotted last year.
County inspections and en-
vironment have been given
$144,350 this year as compared to
$94,000 in 1976.
The county health department
budget has been increased from
$920,720 last year to $984,212 this
year.
The recreation and culture
budget, which includes operation
of the Huron County Library
sytem and the Museum at
Goderich has been increased to
$449,550 from $429,177 in 1976.
The planning and development
budget has been struck at
$236,900 for 1977 as compared to
$229,800 last year.
County officials say income
during 1977 should include
$2,666,000 from the
municipalities, $3,893,165 from
the province and a Local
Initiatives Program grant of
$15,300 from the federal govern-
ment.
Another $1,258,378 should be
raised during 1977 through in-
vestments, fees and licences.
Clerk Treasurer Hanly noted
that almost all county agencies
and departments came in under
budget in 1976 and that Huron's
revenue,especially iw the area of
investments, brought in more
than was expected.
"There is no doubt," he ob-
served, "that the county is in a
sound financial
The terms of reference for the
board are to beautify and main-
tain municipally owned land
within the business improvement
area beyond that normally
carried out by the municipality
and to promote the area as a
business area.
The planning committee have
already undertaken an overall
look at long term plans and
priorities for the rejuvenation
and beautification of the area.
They've engaged the services
of a fourth year UWO geography
student, Dave Maki, who is un-
dertaking the project as his
thesis. Since October, Maki has
been taking various marketing
surveys, parking inventories and
interviewing consumers and
retailers on the various aspects
of retailing in Exeter.
"We've had a good reception
from 90 percent of the people in-
volved," Cottrell reported.
Maki's initial report is ex-
pected to be completed by the
end of March and it will then be
presented to all property owners
in the designated area some time
in April,
At that time some indication of
a proposed budget will be
presented to the business owners
and will then be given to council
for their approval.
Costs involved in any promo-
tion or beautification programs
are apportioned to the property
owners on the basis of their
assessment.
There is no cost on the general
tax levy unless council chooses
to aid the program and Cottrell
said the board would probably
During 1977 it will be possible to
add $550,000 to county reserves,
meaning it will not likely be
necessary to borrow money to get
through cash flow problems until
the taxes are collected. That fact
in itself will mean considerable
savings in bank interest charges.
Huron also boasts no large
outstanding debts. The largest, a

ask for some assistance because
any beautification projects un-
dertaken would be an asset to the
town as a whole and not just the
businessmen.
Although no budget has even
been considered, the board chair-
man suggested it would probably
be in the range of $8,000 to $10,000
per year. He said that when this
is apportioned to the 83 owners in
the designated area, it would be
an average cost of just dver $100.
Those with large assessments
would pay more and conversely
those with smaller assessments
would pay less than that
average.
In addition, the board will in-
vestigate provincial loan and
grant assistance that may be
available to them. The Town of
Tillsonburg was recently promis-
ed a $3,000,000 loan for a mam-
moth project in that community.
Cottrell said that the program
would hopefully make the down-
town area more viable and more
attractive to any future commer-
cial growth as opposed to that
future growth taking place
elsewhere in the community.
In the matter of promotions,
he indicated that the summer
sidewalk sale and the Santa
Claus parade would continue to
remain on the local agenda, but
said the members were attemp-
ting to come up with some new
types of promotions which would
involve the entire community
and the surrounding area.
These would have both a com-
mercial and entertainment con-
notation.
10 year debenture to expand
facilities at Huronview was paid
off in 1976.
1977 represents the third
consecutive year that Huron has
managed to hold the line on tax
increases despite the fact
spending has increased from
$5,600,718 in 1974 to the 1977
budget total of $8,321,207.
