SERVICE
275 HURON ST., STRATFORD
a_______
Huron County’s Social Service
department could be left with a
short-fall in funding for its admini
stration budget because of a ceiling
on increases by the Ministry of
Community and Social Services.
John McKinnon, director of
Social Services told county council
that the Ministry had approved a
5.5 per cent increase in the
approved base of $196,720 rather
than the $226,202 the Huron de
partment had asked for. It could
mean a total of $18,657 would go
unsubsidized, meaning the county
would need to provide another
$9,000 to meet the budget. Gener
ally the county pays 50 per cent and
the Ministry pays 50 per cent of
approved administration costs.
The Ministry, Mr. McKinnon
said, has indicated it will not
subsidize extra costs brought about
through pay equity even though it
is the provincial government that
forced pay equity legislation on
municipalities and their agencies.
There may be a chance that if the
ministry has money left at the end
of the year but it still means the
local agency will have problems
next year because only the approv
ed base will be used in setting next
year’s budget. Mr. McKinnon said
the only way to trim costs would be
to lay off staff and “there’s no fat
to trim’’.
