Warden Kenneth Stewart welcomed members and stated "Actually, I did call the meeting to receive a report of the Agriculture and Reforesta- tion Committee which met in Henson last week, with the idea of pressing for the estab- lishment of some sort of agri- cultural college at Centralia Air Force Base," "As a county council we should promote anything brought before There also was the report of the Emergency Measures Com- mittee to consider and one from the Huron County Libr- ary Co-operative." Supporting the committee report, George Wench stated that it was unfortunate this situation has arisen. "because somebody has to get hurt.- Council members had received copies of reports of past meet- ings and "the committee hasn't been asleep." Opinions had been voiced from all sides. "Contrary to what has ap- peared in the press, there never was a secret report," he declared. Everything the com- mittee decided is in the recom- mendations submitted in this report. All newspapermen and county councillors know that the contents of any meeting should be held confidential, "Secondly, I didn't appreci- ate a number of phone call at my place of work. Statements have been made that 'you peo- ple fired a person before the County Council session.' That is not true either," Mr. Wonch said the public is not interested in EMO and if interested, would not take part, leaving it all to elected of- ficials, Some think the prob- lem might be because of geo- graphical location. "The biggest beef from Tor- onto is that Mr. Forbes (the co-ordinator) ihas not produced an over-all program for the county .. . There are two sides to the story. Toronto is not altogether satisfied with us— but I am not altogether satis- fied with Toronto." "Quite possibly, Mr. Forbes has tried hard. His exuberance Perhaps stepped on a few toes:' Duff Thompson. reeve of Clinton, inquired if mutual fire aid and auxiliary police would he continued under the present proposal. Clerk-Treasurer J. 0 Berry said it could, Alvin D. Smith. reeve at Turnbr rry. asked if the com- mittee was unanimous. Chair- man ‘Vonch replied that it was done in the proper way and was the unanimous thinking of the committee members. Thomas Leiper, reeve of Hul- lett, asked if funds would be available under the proposed To the Warden and Members of Huron County Council; At the June session of Coun- ty Council, Motion No. 49, 1996 was passed, This motion was as follows: "That Huron County Council give consideration to with- drawing from the Emergency Measures Organization and further that this matter be re- ferred to the Emergency Meas- ures Committee of County Council, with a full report to be presented at the September session of County Council." As a result of the foregoing motion, a meeting was called on June 24th, At this meeting, in addition to the full commit- tee, were the representative of the Department of the Attor- ney General, Mr. N, W, Tim- merman, the Director and Mr. A. C. Clarke, Field Officer. i Also present for this meeting was Mr. W. S. Forbes, the County Co-ordinator, A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the problems in con- nection with the present Em- ergency Measures Program. At the meeting of June 24th, it was recommended that the Emergency Measures Program be disbanded but that the Council would be asked to con- tinue their contract with the Province in the event of a need to reactivate the Program. Following the above meeting. a letter was forwarded to the Department of the Attorney General, advising of the Com- mittee's recommendation. On July 22nd, a reply was received from the Department outlining the procedure necessary in order that the County might withdraw from the Emergency Measures Program. The in- strurtions were as follows: 1. The present By-law passed in 1962 establishing the Or- ganization will need to he re- scinded, Once this is done, no further funds can be made available under the Financial Assistance Program, 2, Huron County would have to refund the Federal and Pro- vincial share of the money- spent on purchases of all items under Classification II, III, and IV since the establishment of the Organization, after de- preciation at the rate of 10% per annum. The letter from the Depart- ment did make the following suggestion: "As an alternative to the drastic step of disband- ing the Organization, we would be prepared to consider the 'payment of a modest honorar- ium to some other municipal official, such as yourself as 'Clerk-Treasurer and to assist this official in any way pos- sible in the development of the emergency plans required under The Emergency Meas- ures Act. The equipment pur- chased 'previously could then be retained and eventually put to good use at some future date when a new Co-ordinator would be required to carry out the training and exercise pro- gram necessary to make these plans work." Following receipt of this let- ter, another meeting of the Emergency Measure's Commit- tee of Council was called under date of August 5th, All mem- bers of the committee were present on this occasion. At this meeting it was pointed out that the cost of withdrawing plan. Mr. Berry replied that they would be as long as the plan received grants in the or- dinary way. Duff Thompson said an em- ergency could be by natural action or man-made action. He wondered in the event of evacuation from larger centres. why we should prepare plans. Mr. Berry stated that it was generally considered that this area would be the receiving area for larger centres. It was basically a plan to carry on the functions of government and also help out the surrounding area. Clarence E. Boyle, reeve of from the Emergency Measures Program would be in the neighborhood of $4,000 to $6,- 000, depending on the final calculations of the items to be depreciated, The larger amount of the depreciation would pre- vail if Auxiliary Police uni- forms were considered as a de- preciated item. The Municipal Act under Section 378-B, Section 2 and Section 3 provides for the es- tablishment and the mainten- ance of an Emergency Meas- ures Program. Under the Em- ergency Measures Act 1962-63, Section 4, Subsection 2 it states that each County, together with the local municipalities within the County, that do not form part of the County for municipal purposes, shall for- mulate .a plan to provide for the continued function' of Municipal Government and the necessary services of the muni- cipalities in the event of an ,emergency. As pointed out by the De- partment of the Attorney Gen- eral, who administers the Emergency Measures Act, the main duty of a County is to provide a plan. A plan can be written and prepared without the County being involved in the full Emergency Measures Program, Considering these facts, and the apparent lack of interest in Emergency Meas- ures within the County, the Committee wishes to recom- mend certain recommenda- tions. At the same time, in view of the fact that it might cost between 84,000 and 86.000 to have our Program entirely disbanded, the committee is in agreement that the original idea be changed and that the Program be maintained on a much more modified scale. As a result of its investiga- tion and letters from Toronto. your committee makes the fol- low recommendations: 1. That the present Emergen- cy Measures Program, as now established be curtailed. 2. That the Emergency Measures Program be operated in accordance with the Emer- gency Measures Act R.S.O. 1962-63 and that the Clerk- Treasurer prepare a written plan in conjunction with the requirements of the Depart- ment of the Attorney General, 3, That the Emergency- Measures Co-ordinator be re- lieved of his duties as Co-or- dinator, with his salary to con- tinue until September 30, 1966 and that By-law No, 17, 1964 be rescinded. 4. That the County Clerk- Exett .r. said he thought Out exercises came out very well "I don't think Toronto knows what it wants, I would like to see the plan and also the rea- sons for rejecting it." "They came up and sold this plan to us back in teri2," Jas. Bayter, reeve of Stephen Township declared, "Let them tell us where we are going wrong. If we haven't got the right man let them tell us. If there was a disaster tomorrow we would be held responsible if there was no organization, Mr. Wonch stated that N. W, Timmerman, director EMO, said Huron County didn't have a plan at ail. Mr, Timmerman had stated that Mr. Forbes had not co-operated with Toronto and he felt he never would. Mr, Woneh pointed out, Mr, Hayter agreed but felt Toronto had "sold us this EM 0. Big army men came up here with flashing uniforms to get us to go into it." Continuing, Mr, Hayter com- mented: "They said we haven't a plan; I'm sure they haven't got one." Mr, Boyle declared that "the whole thing boils down to one fact; a clash of personalities between Timmerman and For- bes. He says this guy Forbes, I don't like him and I won't buy anything he wants. I have a lot of respect for Forbes and the work he has put into this job of co-ordinator, The clerk- treasurer should write and find out what other counties think. Perhaps we could get a change in the heirarchy." Elgin Thompson. reeve of Tuckersmith, had the final word in the debate: "I don't think a plan is nec- essary in a place like Huron County," Discussion took 35 minutes and report carried on recorded division of 32-6, HOME BAKING SALE The McIntosh United Church Women held a sale of home baking on Saturday, September 3rd at Mr. Charles Howard's store in Mildmay.
