Hullett calls special meeting to talk restructuring
A special meeting of Hullett
council was called for March 30 to
discuss the 1999 budget and amal
gamation talks with Goderich Twp.
and Clinton.
Reeve Robert Szusz and council
lor Marg Anderson gave a report on
the amalgamation working commit
tee's progress with the two munici
palities.
Concern was expressed about
Blyth's decision not to consider
restructuring options which would
include the township and the Cen
tral Huron group.
Council reviewed a report which
outlined the contributions made by
Hullett Twp to joint boards and
committees with Blyth.
Hullett is the highest contributor
to the Blyth and District Fire Area
Board at 29 per cent or $17,400.
They also have $65,055 in reserve
for the new pumper.
The township is the second high
est contributor next to Blyth to the
community centre, at 31.74 per
cent or $20,624.65.
With the landfill site, Hullett puls
in 65 per cent of the total budget,
$21,000. Reserves totalling
$13,000 for landfill capital and
$18,795 for landfill restoration
have been set aside. Blyth and Hul
lett Twp. are joint owners.
A contribution is also made to
Blyth Union Cemetery when
required.
It was the general consensus of
council that since Blyth and Hullett
"have been and always will be a
community of interest that munici
pal boundaries cannot define and
this community of interest is not
defined only in fiscal terms, but in
the spirit of good neighbours," the
township suggested that Blyth re
evaluate its unfavourable appraisal
of amalgamation with the Central
Huron group.
The Blyth-Hullett landfill site
budget of $34,800 was approved. A
request will be sent to Blyth asking
that one-third the cost of the recy
cling bin at the landfill site be reim
bursed to the township.
A budget of $113,700 for the
Seaforth Area Fire Department was
approved.
The Auburn Community Hall
board budget, showing expenses of
$2,081.32 and revenues of
$7,105.32, was approved.
A grant of $500 was given to the
Vanastra Recreation Centre and
$50 to the Huron Plowmen's Asso
ciation.
Consent was given to a county
bylaw regarding OPP policing pro
vided the costs were based on
workload/service levels.
Road Superintendent Jim John
ston was authorized to ask for
quotes to log the bush located at
Part Lot 13, Cone. 2 and Lot 12,
Maitland Block, according to a
county bylaw.
Approval was also given for
Johnston to take a basic report writ
ing and presentation skills course at
a road school being offered in
Guelph, May 2-5, al a cost of $615,
plus GST.
Support was given to two resolu
tions from Bagol, Blythfield and
Brougham. The first dealt with an
appeal to Ontario Hydro and the
second, asking the fire marshall’s
office not to download any respon
sibilities, such as community edu
cation or property inspections.
Council also supported a resolu
tion from the Township of Severn
regarding the re-establishment of
subsidization of bridge reconstruc
tion and maintenance to assist local
municipalities in ensuring the safe
condition of this significant compo
nent to municipal infrastructure.
