Subject now to the final sign-
ing of the rental lease with the
Ontario government, the tender
of Genan ,Construction Ltd. of
Waterloo for the construction
of the addition at the Huron-Perth
Regional Assessment office was
approved Monday morning.
At the special meeting. f Huron
• County Council, members agreed
to aceept the Genan ender for
$164,551. This price is for the
building only. An additional,
$26,000 has been budgeted for
architects' fees Of $13,000; land-
scaping, $1,000; parking, $2,000;
and a contingency fund for furn-
ishings, a public address systems
for the general meeting room,
partitions, etc.
Clerk-treasurer John Berry told
council he has a letter from the
Ministry of GovernmentServices
indicating the province is agree-
able to the rental' conditions.
Mr. Berry said the agreement
would call for a rental fee of
$5.25 per squire foot or.$43,980
per annum for the entire build-
ing. The contract would be drawn
up for fiVe years with an option
providing for another five' year
contract.
Further income from the build-
ing 'would come from rental of
space at, the back part of the
ground floor. Consideration has
been given to moving the Child-
ren's Aid Sodiety into these
quarters although nothing defin-
ite haa been decided.
Mr. Berry said that although
completion of the building has
been estimated in 17 weeks from
the beginning of construction, he
felt this may be a tea little ambit-
ious”. There will be no penalty
clause in the contract with Genan,
the same firm by a new name
as built the original assessment
office.
In answer to, a specific ques-
tion, Mr. Berry advised it would
be from. , 20 to ,30;,,,years before

erest on the money would be.

Chairman of the Property Com-
mittee, Reeve Harold Lobb
Clinton, told council he was
pleased' the committee had seen
fit to recommend that Huron,
County's 'construction safety in-
spector Everett Smith act as
clerk Of the works during the
construction period. He would
work closely with architectsSni-
der, Huget and March.
"I'd like to have a county
inspector on.th,e job," remarked
Reeve Lobb.. believe it will
be of great benefitto the council
here."
However, it was learned that

pital on the morning of the county.
council, and decision was reached
' to leave the matter of inspection
to the discretion of the cern-
mittee.
Reeve Girvin Reed of AShfield
asked why $2,000 had 'been put
in the budget to cover parking
when the Town of Goderich had.
promised promised to making parking
space available. Mr. Berry told
council some additional offstreet
parking will be provided by the
county around the fornaer jail
wall on' the north side of the •
jail building since the parking
to be- provided by the Town may
be taken up at times with tourist
parking, particularly in the sum-
mer months.
