From page 1 from actiontaken by the corporation." Stuart Reavie, Lucknow reeve, suggested' a two-step implementation to.a non -ward system, He suggested election by wards for the '98 election and two years later aban- doning the wards in favor of wide open elections. However, Councillor Elmer Smeltzer, Huron township, said he couldn't see wards working, argu- ing that a wide-open elec- tion would allow voters to elect "the best bunch" for the good of the municipal— ity. Huron's memooutlined. how its amalgamation with Ripley, and wide open elections did not jeopardize Ripley's voice and representation, despite a larger population along the township's lakeshore. "Ina perfect world,, this is going, to work, Reavie said. "Maybe this isn't a perfect world. Brian.

Though some council- lors were concerned about possible segregation that wards could create, Wolfe, said "that's not necessarily so" arguing that "it gets people used to the con- cept. The whole is as great as its parts." • Said. ,Cecil • Sutton, Huron, "If you go with wards, you start off divid- ed in a new community:" But Wolfe suggested the councillors "err on the side of caution.' Reeve Boyle, Kinloss, chairing the meeting said; "Honestly, if we're going to jump in the river, we jump in together." When the. whole voted,, though, it was ,a 10-5 majority that won the open. election proposal: The councillors decided. Some Huron council- lors argued an efficient staff would make for an easy job for a five -mem- ber council. While he said he had no disrespect for staff, Reavie said, "It's good to ask staff a few questions instead of them telling you every- thing." Reavie said -the reeve would be more involved with county issues.. The county proposes an eight- tnember county .council, a reduction from the exist- ing 30 plus. "The more representa- tion, the better," said Wolfe: . Councillors bantered around new names for the new municipality, but in the end; .Hilton/Kinloss' won in a close, $77 vote.
