During the question and answer period it was evident that the committee members did not have all the answers to the questions raised. Reeve Cassidy pointed out that the meeting was held to get out the information they have to the,'. public, saying that the ,public doesn't realize thatwe are looking at change. Several times durhig the evening, a paragraph contained in "Toward an Ideal' County' released ' by the ,Ministry of 0.15". 1 Mlmildpal Affairs lilt January 1000 was referred to, wherein Jobs Sweeney, Minister of ��s%y^y.'�j affairs says: "aware are needed, and the provmcial governnoAent Wends to sea that those cheers =� inchode Theyaffecting andin the way provin- cial grants are paid counties and their constituent nwcipalitie.. They in- clude, of some smaller municipalities,municipalities i the county system. Lucknow Reeve Ab Murray questioned what would happen to the village's water and hydro systems if amalgamation oc- curs, saying that the ratepayers of the village paid for these systema and main- tains them. Councillor George Gibson vehemently stated that "we want a list of benefits (on amalgamation) from county council that we can work with." Councillor George Anderson caned that with ours string ° A e in Queen's Park, its should be wri to Murray Elston, • .letting him know ow they feel• Reeve Barry Johnston • of • Kinloss Townsblp statedthat his council is not in favour of any of the scenarios and hopes it is not a charade. He went on to refer tothe closure of the Kinloss school, when at that`, time residents were assured that Luckno'v Central had the capacity for the students and now the school has two portables.. Reeve Fitzsimmons of• ,Tiverton was perhaps the most outspoken against the restructuring scheme. He believes the decision for any amalgamation should come from the individual : municipalities not from higher up. He said he takes strong exception to the province blackmailing municipalities by threaten- bigto cut grants. He went on to say that ,he has trouble interpreting what.the pro- vince means when it says it intends to see that those changes take place. "What 'changes, nothing is -specified." Following this series of public Meetings, the committee will meet again. with municipal councils in an ,effort: to narrow down' the possibilities. Further Public . meetings will be held before the committee reports back to county coun TH. When the rept* reaches county court- will o un - will .require a two-thirds vote of the current council members to pass.

IM. 528-3001 We Ramps The Right To Limit DuaMOM To Normal Fnarsily Requirements 'ounty budget up • from page 1 After accepting a motion to amend the promotion budget from $32,800 to $52,800 • council voted to adopt the amended budget which reflects the 144 per cent in- crease. The increase is mainly attributed' to the cost of producing promotional brochures, a video and special events. Just over 3 per cent of the total budget increase is accounted for with the alloca- tion of $115,000 for adjustments/id td Pay Equity and $60,000 for changes in the UHIP system.. • Dirk Retina, Chesley reeve, said he ° wasquite concerned with the budget . because of all the requests' for money from different groups. , "I don't think the people of the Lakeshore, or the penisula, or in the southern part of the county are begging formoney," said . Brad Davis, St. Ed- munds reeve. Fitzimmona, a member of the, finance committee, said the committe has to be "financially responsible. A lot of us have problems...we have to be more stricter with our help." A 9.24 per cent increase in the Health Unit's budget is attributed to salary ad- justments and expanded programs. Four of the Health Unit's revised programs will be hmpheinented over four years with the assistance of the Ministry of Health. The planningt saw a $15,000 surplus last yearr,l�money was us- ° . ed to off -set the, department's 1989 expen- ditures. The department is now left with a $20,744 deficit which should be, recovered in 1990. The requested $369,833, 'planning budget, a 9.4 per cent increase from last year, was recommended. and y' approved. The restructuring study committee will receive $20,060 county dollars. This figure reflects half the cost the committee ex- pects xpects the study report will cost. • Herron said the budget did not include money for the construction of a county buil ng in Wiarton. If the project pro- ceeds during ro- ceedsg 1990, either long term finan- cing or selling assets ' will have to be investigated. LOCAL INCREASES While the overall budget increase is 9.99 per cent higher than last year, the amount each municipality will pay varies accodring to easement formulas. The county's increased easement of 4.2 per cent•directly reflects the amount paid by municipal taxpayers. Culross Township's tax levy decreased by 4.97 per cent, while Amabel Townships levy increased by 19.35 per cent. Walker- ton's increase is 9.4 per cent, Kincar- dine's is 16.36 per cent, Port Elgin's is 12.94 per cent, and Brant Township's is 3.44 per cent.
