Huron . County to get snow removal ,subsid ...
Huron County Engineer Jim
Britnell told County Council last
Thursday that Huron would
qualify for extra subsidy on all
winter control costs over
$283,448.93 in the first four
months of 1977,
•"By adding to the actual known
costs in January and February of
$302,961.62 our best estimate of
the costs of March of $50,000, we
get a total of $352,961.61 to
March 31 and qualify for
additional subsidy under the
formula announced by the
Ministry in the amount of
$51,467.79," he explained.
Mr. Britnell did note however
that he felt "a fairer way to have
distributed the extra money
would have been to base the extra
Huron Couiity Council has
agreed to provide $4,225 to the
Board of Health for the hiring of a
nutritionist in the county and
establishment of a nutrition .
program.
The Board determined in 1974
that the services of a nutritionist
would be advantageous in the
County and subsequently made
application for provinciql funds in
1974 and again in 1975. In both
cases the applications were not
approved due to a lack of funds.
In its report to Council last
Friday the Board recommended
that 'an application be made to the
Ministry of Health for $8,450 to
fund the services of a part time
nutritionist for Huron County.
It also recommended that the
.County of Huron contribute its
share of the project, that is
$4,225, whether or not the
program was approved by the
province.
County Councillors supported
both recommendations.
subsidy on the average cost of the
four month period over the past
four years which in Huron's case
as $165,448.93,"
Under the system laid down by
the Ministry, a municipality must
have exceeded 120 per cent of the
highest expenditure over January
1 to April 1 (the period in
question) in the past four years.
Mr. Britnell also told the
councillors however that to
qualify for this extra money "we
had to spend more than 20 per
cent more than we did in 1976 and
if this cost trend continues
through the rest of 1977, as it did
in 1976, our total expenditures for
snow plowing could reach
$600,000 or $140,000 over our
budget estimate of $460,000."
Bayfield Reeve Ed Oddleifson
asked if the County share would
help at all if the province did not
come through with its share.
"Will it get junk food out of our
schools," he asked.
Medical Officer of Health Dr.
Frank Mills assured him it would
help.
Nutritionist Consultant Helen
Brown was on hand to answer
questions and explain . the
proposed •duties of a nutritionist
employed by the Board of Health.
She said' that person would
assess overall nutrition needs in
the community
After such an assessment, she'
said, the nutritionist would
initiate and develop nutrition
programs. This would include
work in the school, the meals on
wheels program, the elderly and
weight watching groups.
It took a clause by clause vote
on the Board of Health report to
pass the recommendation but it
was approved with only Seaforth
Reeve John Flannery and Allan
In other business arising from
the Road. Committee report.
Council agreed that a new land
purchase policy, in connection
with road widenings, be
implemented.
Property owners will now
receive $500 per acre plus a new
fence or a cash allowance of $12.
per rod (the approximate cost of
the fence.)
The former Road committee
policy for compensation per acre
was set many years ago at $200
per acre plus, a new fence or a
cash allowance if the owner did
not require a fence. That fence
allowance was increased from
$2.50 per rod to $5.00 per rod last
year.
Mr. Britnell told the meeting
