Goderich fumes over proposed County seat move Couple weds at Calvin-Brick church While the possible move of HuronCounty offices to Huron- view from Goderich brought little discussion among councillors at the September meeting of county council Thursday, guest speakers gave it a high profile. Both Huron M.P.P. Jack Riddell and Goderich Mayor Eileen Pal­ mer discussed the subject during addresses to council. The only mention of the whole issue from councillors themselves came with the endorsing of a motion by the executive committee at its meeting July 13 when it hired the firm of Montgomery and Sisam, architects, to investigate if the county offices could be housed in the present Huronview building which is to be replaced by a new home for the aged elsewhere on the Huronview site. Under the same motion Warden Bob Bell and Bill Hanly, county clerk-treasurer were to explore the possibility of the province purchasing or leasing the entire court house in Goderich for court purposes. Mayor Palmer called the hiring of the architect, “ a lit bit slipshod” saying the scope of the investiga­ tion is not large enough. She urged the hiring of a consulting firm to investigate all ramifications of any move, the use of county buildings and possible alternatives with input from all parties concerned to set the terms of reference of the study. She said she felt the county was a couple of years ahead of itself in deciding that there was not enough room in the courthouse for both the courts and the county offices. She said that twice a Goderich develo­ per had approached the county in recentyears offering to provide spacefor county offices but had been told the county had lots of room. ‘‘When and how did the space become so tight,” she said. Part of the mandate of county council, she told the councillors, is to increase industry in the county but this move would ‘ ‘fragment an existing viable industry”. She suggested that rather than move the offices, the county should get out of the business of providing a home for the aged, at great saving, but she was informed that the county by law must provide such a home. She suggested that if space was a problem at the courthouse, the county should take over the whole building and ask the province to move court and offices to Huronview. Goderich Councillor Bill Clifford also spoke against the move, asking councillors to recognize that it would mean many county employees had higher expenses from moving which would be passed on to the taxpayers. He urged the hiring of a consultant because ‘‘you’ll want to be inform­ ed of all the ramifications”. Follow up planned for tour Continued from page 1 tatives of each of the communities will have a further chance to speak to the investors. After visiting Bruce the group will complete its tour in Owen Sound Friday where a final dinner will be held. Mr. Caldwell said he will be at the dinner to remind them of the attractions of Huron. A follow up mailing will be sent to each investor when he returns home to Britain. Warden Bob Bell said he was “quite sure we have 30 membersin this room who have the best interests of the county at heart.” He said the presentations were very premature since the county hasn’t even received the archi­ tect’s report at this point to see if Huronview could house the offices. Once the report is in the county can examine other ramifications of a move, he said. Earlier Mr. Riddell had added his voice to the discussion warning the county not to base its decision on the feeling the province was waiting to take over the court­ house. He said he had talked to Attorney General Ian Scott the day earlier and had been told that taking over the Huron Courthouse was not high on his priority list, in fact he didn’t think it was on his priority list at all. The attorney general’s department is still work­ ing on a list of court improvements drawn up by the previous govern­ ment and has five or six years left on that list, he said. There would be no additional money available this year. He said the attorney general would be happy to meet with county officials but he wanted the Huron delegation not to go under the illusion they might change Mr. Scott’s opinion.
