There were questions, but few changes as Huron County Council approved its 1990 budget of $23.3 million at a special session last Wednesday in Goderich. Council added $6500 in a grant to the Vanastra Recreation Centre and $16,200 to cover the county’s portion of an expected deficit from the Huron County Children’s Aid (CAS) Society from last year. Council is responsible for 20 per cent of the CAS’s budget but had not been informed of the amount of the deficit officially although the four members of council sitting on the CAS board of directors (and independent board) knew they would be faced with a deficit of about $80,000. The subject of the CAS was the most debated topic in the after noon’s session as, faced with a 38 per cent increase in its share of the budget, councillors officially voted for an operational review of the agency’s staffing. Exeter Reeve Bill Mickle made the motion to ask for the review. Blyth Reeve Albert Wasson, chairman of the council’s represen tation on the board said the additional $99,562 sought as the county’s 20 per cent share was due to increases in staffing. Currently workers are carrying a heavy caseload of 39 cases per worker and the plan is to reduce the load to 25 per worker, with the addition of seven new staff members. A lot of questions were asked about the increase at the CAS board meeting, Reeve Wasson said, and the board was “reason ably’ satisfied the need was there for the workers. Nigel Bellchamber, county clerk administrator said the increase in the budget for the CAS was based on six months of the new workers salary this year. Hullett Reeve Tom Cunningham said he was concerned with the size of the increase, especially since the agency had also received a 16 per cent increase in 1989 and still had a deficit. Warden Lionel Wilder wondered where the county stood on the situation. With four councillors on the board of the agency, the county is still in a minority but has to pick up 20 per cent of the costs. “If we don’t go along (with their budget) they’ll just operate at a deficit and we’ll have to pick it up at the end of the year.” Reeve Wasson said he felt there was a sincere attempt on the part of the new management at the CAS to paint a true picture of the financial situation at the agency. Reeve Cunningham said that he was not opposed to the agency but he was concerned that it tends to be like a lot of government agencies and not look at efficiencies. When the motion to ask for the operational review of the agency was made Reeve Wasson asked that it be made a recorded vote. Those councillors present voted unanimously for the review.
