Council discusses amalgamation options

deciding who pays for the (road
work).”
Lawrie suggested the more
municipalities having to deal with
the same issue the more trouble
there is finding a consensus.
Reeve Mason Bailey agreed that
one-tier may be the most practical
way to go, but added “we will be in
trouble if we inherit (the adminis
tration) which is there now.”
Bailey also stated concerns for
representation if Huron County
were to go to one-tier with only 10
councillors.
Suggestions resulting from the
strategic planning session, June 19,
proposed options for the restructur
ing of the county.
Amalgamations in the central and
southern regions of the county
could result in four groupings,
ranging in populations from 11,899
to 6,924.
For North Huron, two options
were put forth. The first would con
tain three municipalities: Ashfield,
East and West Wawanosh Twps.;
Morris and Grey Twps., Brussels
and Bly th and Wingham, Tumberry
and Howick Twps.
The population bases would be
4,707 to 6,583.
A second possibility would see
Wingham join the Wawanosh
group, pushing the population to
7,197 while the other municipali
ties would combine for a base of
8,954jesidents.
