Last Thursday at Huron County Council„Reeve Tom • Canningharn of Hullett 'Township wanted to know why. Cunningham wanted to know why the county staff thinks it. has the right to "disregard" the directions of the County's elected representatives. • County' clerk-adininiS- • tra.tor "Lyn -Murray responded to the question' •.by saying it was. her.. understanding the direc- tion given by council in. February had been to •• beginthe zero7based •get process once the province had provided information regarding the cost of downloaded ser vices to municipalities. .She said the provincial information has not been provided, and as such, she .has not reported back to Council regarding a zero - based budget for 1998. A 'zero based' budget would require the county to look at each of its pro- grams and decide whether or not they are needed. Essefttially,, the county budget would be built from a' base of zero dol- lars, and then, as the coun- ty justifies each .dollar it plans to spend, the budget would grow. Ree%) -e Bill Vanstone or Colborne TownShip agreed with Murray's•' interpretation of the cdun- cil's February orders.,He. said he was one of the councillors who made the motion for a zero -based budget and it did not include any waiting iirne. • At the Feb. 6 meeting, several councillors raised objections the county had not initiated a 'zero -based' budget process as directed by council Nov. 28„ 1996. •At the time, 'Goderich • Reeve pill Clifford described the heated dis- cussion as "the bashing of department heads:” After the debate, council direct- ed the administration to immediately start the zerb- based budgetary. process and the administration was told to have the zero -based budget information ready for the September meeting of council. • View -of -V Inaii-stones comment's, Murray said she would look into the matter further and:bring.it forward. at the Administration, Finance. and t)ersonnel, COmmittee meeting on Dec; 11. • New skills in seed innovation" -800-756-SEED (7333) •Give yOu.,ri*Olealet a caII today alter Elliott Liteknow (519) 357-1358 Donald Ritchie Lucknow (519) 395-2806 • ..
