Blyth Council briefs
Committee to do pay equity plan
Lynda Lentz, development co
ordinator of Blyth Festival attended
the May 11 meeting of council for
her annual report.
Ms Lentz introduced council to
the new General Manager Susan
Moffat and remarked on the spirit
of co-operation evident between the
village and the theatre. "Perhaps
the difficult times have made us all
aware of how precious the theatre
here is and how fragile."
***
Councillors Shirley Fyfe and
Eugene Cobum, along with Reeve
Dave Lee and Clerk-Treasurer
Helen Grubb were appointed to the
committee to provide a pay equity
plan for Ministry approval.
A facilitator will be appointed
following agreement and confirma
tion of remuneration.
Councillor Mason Bailey
expressed some concern on
whether the clerk would be in con
flict of interest with regards to this,
however, Councillor Cobum noted
that most companies he has been
aware of had used committees
comprised of in-house staff to
develop their plan.
A zoning bylaw amendment for
the Jackson property on King St.
was passed by council.
A letter was received from John
Clarke, president of the Ontario
Secondary School Teachers' Feder
ation, Huron District 45.
Councillors Bailey and Sparling
are responding.

A resolution was supported from
the Township of Barrie asking the
province to give consideration to
seasonal trailer units contributing to
the services they utilize. Also any
units in the campgrounds for more
than 90 days should be required to
pay an annual fee up to $100 to the
municipality.
Noting that she had read stories
in the newspaper, which stated that
the Chief Building Official Paul
Josling reports on a monthly basis
to the other municipalities that
employ him Councillor Fyfe
requested Blyth do the same.
Ms Grubb will be notifying Mr.
Josling of this request.
Wheels Away statistics showed
that no resident of Blyth had used
the service in the months of March
and April.

tendent Association.
