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. Hero Continued from front page 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 Anonymous U.B. 78 The Bilcke's Jim, Anne, Christopher Neil Sterling Champion Fuels 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. womsn,exiMMANNFO.,N8M.
