held for more information
A donation to Clinton Public
Hospital was put on hold by Blyth
village council March 11 and
representatives of the hospital will
be asked to make a presentation
before further action is taken.
A request had been received
from D. C. Steyn, hospital admini
strator for council to budget $1800
for each of the next two years.
Councillor Lloyd Sippel pointed out
Blyth council takes
look at building permits
Whatshould and what shouldn't
be subject to building permits in
Blyth? Village council considered
the problem at its March meeting
March 11 and will ask its building
inspector for more information
next month.
The subject arose when council
lors received a report showing that
19 building permits were issued in
the village last year for a total
construction cost of $288,450
(bringing the village $1427 in fees).
Clerk Larry Walsh asked what
construction projects should need
a building permit and which don’t.
Generally, he said, he issues a
permit for someone siding a house
but there have been siding projects
undertaken where the owner has
not applied for a permit. “Where
doyou draw the line?’’, Mr. Walsh
asked. Ifsidingahouseneedsa
permit, should putting a new roof
on require one? If those items are
included what about improve
ments inside a house that increase
its value?
Councillors couldn’t provide the
that this was an increase of 20 per
cent over the $1500 donation of the
last two years (the grant before that
had been $500). Councillor Tom
Cronin asked if a donation had
been made to Wingham Hospital
and Clerk Larry Walsh said
Wingham has not asked for a
donation for several years, having
been able to raise funds for its new
addition last year without ap
answers but suggested that build
ing inspector Eugene McAdam be
asked for his suggestions. Council
also wants to talk to him about
people who conveniently under
estimate the cost of their construc
tion projects.
Looking down the listof building
permits from last year, several
councillors remarked on what they
felt were inequities between the
stated cost of construction between
some projects and similar projects.
“What kind of control do we have
on the value of the building permit
versus what they actually build?’’
Reeve Albert Wasson asked. Clerk
Walsh pointed out it’s up to the
building inspector to re-evaluate
the cost of the project if he feels it is
an unreasonable estimate.
“The building inspector should
be making sure there are accurate
figures on the building permit,’’
Councillor Lloyd Sippel said.
Otherwise, he warned, more peo
ple are likely to cheat on their
permits and the whole purpose of
building permits will be lost.
proaching local councils. It was
pointed out, however, that the
Wingham hospital fundraisers did
a door-to-door canvass of Blyth
which Clinton has not done in
several years. It was also pointed
out that more people in Blyth use
the Clinton hospital than the
Wingham one.
Still, the doubts about the
increase prompted Councillor
William Howson who had origin
ally made a motion to grant the
increase to withdraw his motion.
Noting that the letter said the
request had been formulated on
the basis of the percentage of
people from each community who
used the hospital, he said that if
representatives of the hospital
were asked to attend council they
could at least explain the formula.
It would make people aware, he
said, that council wasn’t just going
toaccept without question any levy
system they wished to devise.
The Clinton hospital is currently
planning a new Obstetrical Facility
with construction to begin in late
summer.
Meanwhile, councillors who last
month asked for more information
on operation of the Tuckersmith
Day Care Centre before giving a
donation quickly passed a motion
for a grant of $114.73 after getting
that information. The request was
based on three Blyth children
attending the centre for a total of 95
days last year. Councillor Cronin
said he felt it wasn’t much money to
ask for the work done.
Council also approved a grant of
$25 to the EasterSeal Fund but
wasn’t so generous with the Huron
County Farm and Home Safety
Association, turning down a re
quest for money.
