THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 1993. Brussels Livestock Report 146 veal on offer sell to high of $124 Sales at Brussels Livestock for the week ending Mar. 5 were: fed cattle, 829; cows, 243; veal calves, 146; sheep and goats, 98; stockers, 850 and pigs, 75. Fed cattle at Brussels Livestock were on a fairly steady market with cows steady. There were 584 steers on offer selling from $97 to $103 to the high of $113. Seventeen steers consigned by Doug Gear, Orton, averaging 1416 lbs. sold for an Huron County's one year experi- ment with lower fees for severance applications has ended after the Planning and Development office ran up a $99,000 deficit in the area in 1992. County council, after protracted debate, approved the move back to a $1000 fee from the $500 that had been instituted last year in an attempt to bring Huron more in line with its neighbours. However, with the change in rate, complicated by a decline in the number of sever- ance requests, the Planning and Development office had a short-fall of $99,000 in revenues. Complicating the move back to the $1000 fee is the fact that seven municipalities have the designated right to do their own severances. Where a municipality does its own consents it will have to pay $750 for the services of the county plan- ning department. That move had some councillors unhappy, particularly representa- tives of Exeter which had only reached an agreement with the county a year or so ago after a long battle over paying for planning ser- vices. Exeter also has its own plan- ing staff. Lossy Fuller, deputy-reeve of Exeter, said the seven municipali- ties should have been consulted before the change was proposed. Reeve Bee Cooke of Clinton said she thought there had been a motion at the February meeting of council that the seven municipali- ties would be contacted. But Dr. Gary Davidson, director of plan- ning and development, said the consultation was part of a motion that was defeated so the meetings didn't go ahead. Bill Mickle, reeve of Exeter, argued against the $750 fee to municipalities saying the county department does very little for Exeter. Besides, he warned, any fee to Exeter would be contrary to the agreement signed with the county. Later, during the debate on the 1993 budget, Reeve Mickle ques- tioned staffing at the planning and development office. People are hired on grant programs in the department, he said, but the grants end and the people seem to stay. Dr. Davidson said there are no new full-time people in his depart- ment this year and in the last two years he has reduced staff. But Reeve Mickle noted that the budget for part-time employees in planning and development had dropped, while the budget for full-time employees had gone up from $245,530 in 1992 to $337,810 in 1993. "To me it appears we're building a full-time department in light of reduced grants." But Dr. Davidson said the whole budget for staff is exactly the same as last year at $432,000, with a 1.5 per cent pay increase being absorbed in the budget. Some councillors questioned the need for the same amount of staff if the number of applications was average of $98.54 with sales to $113. Forty steers consigned by Gerald Geisel, Elmira, averaging 1501 lbs. sold for an average of $101.89 with sales to $111.25. Twelve steers consigned by Bill Hayden, Goderich, averaging 1480 lbs. sold for an average of $98.25 with sales to $111.25. One steer consigned by Earl Geisel, West Montrose, weighing 1280 lbs. sold for $105.75. Twenty steers consigned by George Blake, down. There were also questions about how much work actually went into dealing with an applica- tion. Robert Fisher, reeve of Zurich, suggested that the cost of wages for the planner processing an ordinary severance application might be about $50. "About 90 per cent of severances could be be done with little more than a phone call to the planner." But Dr. Davidson said planners spend a good deal of time advising people who might never file an application. It was the view of county council that people should be saved the trouble of hav- ing to pay for applications that might easily be identified as going against provisions of planning, he said. Bill Clifford, deputy-reeve of Goderich, said he supported a user- pay system, rather than having all tax payers picking up the tab for people who are severing land and have the most to gain, but he won- dered if a look shouldn't be taken at all planning functions to see if other user-pay fees couldn't be instituted. He made a motion to refer the whole matter back to the executive to look at this proposal. But Tom Cunningham, head of the agriculture, planning and devel- opment committee urged council- lors not to delay the decision. "The longer we dally the higher the deficit gets," he said. Councillors eventually agreed, passing the motion to return the fee to $1000. Brussels, averaging 1353 lbs. sold for an average of $99.78 with sales to $105.75.
