The new council did not pass their Number one by-law, which hires all village staff and sets salaries. Salaries for village employees are now under discussion. Clerk Bill King, whose salary was $9,000 in 1974 requested a raise to $11,000 per. year, citing area clerk salaries ---Blyth, $10,000 in 1974, Seaforth $12,000 starting salary for a new clerk and Atwood , $10,500. 60% of Mr. King's salary is paid by the PUC and 40% by the village. Village employee Harry Crich, who is presently paid $2.75 an hour, requested $1.00 an hour raise. Council discussed hiring part time office help for Clerk King, but no decision was made. An advertisement for. part time help in the fall brought 12 applicants. Six of these were interviewed and the top three applicants were voted on by council in December. Clerk King's wife Joanne won the elimination vote but no by-law was passed autorizing her hiring. -Clerk King told 'Council that part time work by his wife in the past had helped him to clear up the backlog of 'work in the Clerk's office. Council accepted the resignations of Jim Cardiff as its representative on the Wingham and District Hospital Board and George McCutcheon as representatived to the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority.

Both jobs are voluntary.MVCA members are paid $25 a day by the Authority for attending meetings and 15 cents per mile. Brussels council has in the past paid the Hospital representative a small amount for mileage. Reeve McCutcheon said he would be willing to take the MVCA appointment but agreed with council members that the general public should be given the opportunity to apply for both jobs. Clerk King suggested that it was an advantage having a member of council as an appointee because direct reports are always available to council. Last year Brussels contributed $1173 to the MVCA and councillors were. concerned about the lack of expenditure by the Authority in the village. "This will give me a chance to think it over and maybe with- draw", the Reeve joked. Council will review applications for the two appointments, and for the paid post of Village Building Inspector at a special meeting Monday night. Clerk King said the number one by-law would also probably be passed at this meeting, after salaries are set. Council also discussed hiring another village workman but no decision was made. In general discussion about local problems, council learned that the Saturday garbage pick ups are working well. Brussels uses the Morris Twp. landfill site and pays 55% of their fees.
