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.
