Morris Twp. councillors discuss fire protection
After reviewing the bylaws,
Blyth Fire Chief Paul Josling con-
firmed, at Morris council, Jan 6,
that he is the fire chief in charge of
Huronlea. He told council he was
not concerned about the agreement
with Brussels, provided he was
called regarding the facility.
Josling also told council that his
only concern about amending the
fire agreements was that both
Wingham and Blyth were amend-
ed, not just one.
Clerk-Treasurer Nancy Michie
was instructed by council to obtain
a letter from the fire marshall, con-
firming mutual aid if Morris enters
into an agreement to operate and
maintain the Brussels Fire Dept.

After considerable discussion,
East Wawanosh councillors agreed,
at the Jan. 6 meeting, to endorse a
resolution from Wingham council
regarding restructuring.
The resolution stated, that for
discussion purposes, the council
would support Scenario Two, being
the option to combine the 10
municipalities of Ashfield, West
and East Wawanosh, Morris, Grey,
Howick and Turnberry Twps., as
well as Wingham, Blyth and Brus-
sels.
Councillor Murray Scott told
council that initially the North
Huron Restructuring Committee
had been looking at two groups,
which would split Wingham and
Tumbeny Twp. from Morris Twp.
and those to the east. This would
put the Wingham airport in another
district, said Scott.
Councillor Judith Gaunt said it
would be more logical to have all
10 together. "It would be better for
the secondary plan," she added, " as
there would not be a loss of indus-
with no ownership, by paying
$1,200 per year and $300 for fire
calls.
Councillors were not supportive
of a resolution put forth by Clinton
to hire a consultant for a restructur-
ing study and commented as fol-
lows: Morris Twp. is not in favour
of restructuring until they are guar-
anteed it will save money as they
are not in favour of cutting services
to save money; the township is not
in favour of the study representa-
tion proposal as not all municipali-
ties are guaranteed representation
and the completion date of the
study and implementation date do
not seem practical.
trial tax dollars to another munici-
pality. We would all be in one."
Responding to an option suggest-
ed by Morris Twp. in which the
township would consider restruc-
turing talks with the Wingham Fire
Area district, Councillor Fred
Meier said starting with that area
would not be practical as it would
split up the township.
Councillors agreed that if the
other seven or eight municipalities
involved agreed with the option,

pal staffing changes have been

school year.
In the secondary school panel,
Linda McKenzie, principal of Cen-
tral Huron Secondary School will
move to Goderich District Colle-
giate Institute and Bluewater Sec-
ondary School.
South Huron District High
School Principal Bill Gerth will
take over duties at CHSS and Debi
Brussels agreed to snow plow the
sidewalks at Huronlea at a rate of
$58.20 an hour.
Responding to a letter from the
Huron Plowmens' Association,
council approved a $50 donation
and will ask Murray Johnston and
Jeff McGavin to represent the
township on the board.
Councillors supported a motion
by Turnberry Twp. to reduce the
fire rate for motor vehicle accidents
to $500 per hour. It is currently
$1,258 for the Wingham Fire Area
board.
Chief Building Official Paul
Josling told council Lot 20, Conc. 6
did not need a rezoning for a pig
those opting out of discussions
would still be included in the plan.
There was also a question as to
what Tumberry, Morris and Ash-
field Twps. want, with the hope
representatives would attend the
restructuring meetings to express
their opinions.
Council also noted that Huron
County, and Victoria County to the
east, were the only areas with no
restructuring plan in place.
Homuth from GDCI will move to
SHDHS.
These changes will be effective
Jan 28.

pal Maggie Crane became Walton
