Blyth Reeve gets small raise
The first half of a provincial
grant to insulate the Blyth and
District Community Centre has
been delivered to the village of
Blyth.
The grant, under the Municipal
Buildings Efficiency Program
(MBEEP) covers 75 per cent of the
total costs of $28,480 to cover the
outside walls of the arena and
community centre with insulation
and steel cladding. The first half of
the grant, $10,680 was delivered by
officials from Huron M.P.P. Paul
Klopp’s office Monday.
The changes to the Community
Centre are expected to save $5,940
a year in energy costs, repaying the
capital costs in about five years.
Blyth’s reeve got a pay increase
while councillors stayed at the
same pay as last year in a bylaw
passed at the January 22 meeting
of village council.
Under the bylaw Reeve Albert
Wasson will see his stipend in
crease to $3,000 from $2,800 last
year. Councillors will receive
$2,000 a year, the same as last
year.
Payments for special meetings
will also remain the same. Council
lors will receive $80 for a full-day
meeting and $50 for special meet
ings of a half-day or less. Council
lors will receive 30 cents per
kilometre while driving on village
business. Convention registration,
accommodation and meals will be
paid for at approved conventions
with a limit of $35 a day for meals.
