THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 1998. PAGE 3.
Blyth councillors prepare response
In preparation for their restruc-
turing consultation meeting with
the county, June 3, Blyth council-
lors discussed their position at the
May 19 council session.
Clerk-Treasurer John Stewart
told council that many previous
groups who had met with county
representatives had gone in unpre-
pared.
"They did not know what they
wanted so the county told them
what they should be wanting."
Stewart suggested council make
a proposal similar to those present-
ed by Goderich and Exeter which
spelled out what the municipality
wanted, in writing.
In the suggested municipal re-
alignments, Blyth and Hullett Twp.
have been separated though the two
have discussed staying in the same
municipality due to the current
sharing of services.
Another option for restructuring
was shown to councillors by Stew-
art which would result in three,
large municipalities of similar size.
North Huron would consist of
Wingham, Blyth, Brussels, and
Howick, Tumberry, Grey, Morris,
East Wawanosh, Hullett and
McKillop Twps., with a population
of approximately 18,197 and a tax
assessment base of $751 million.
West Huron would be Goderich
and Clinton and Ashfield, West
Wawanosh, Colborne, Goderich
and Stanley Twps. The population
would be 20,932 with a tax base of
$1,060 million.
The southern townships, along
with Exeter, Grand Bend and a por-
tion of Bosanquet Twp. would cre-
ate a municipality of 20,627 people
and a tax base of $977 million.
Stewart said that although this
option would leave North Huron
slightly smaller that the other two,
it would solve Blyth's problem of
being on the boundary of an area.
The higher assessment in the
other regions is due to extra
charges in the towns, of which
North Huron has fewer, he said.
He also suggested that Blyth and
Brussels could be satellite offices if
Wingham was the main office. '
Councillor Murray Nesbitt said
the suggestion "looked good" to
him while Councillor Jeff Howson
said it was important to keep Blyth
away from the edge.
Councillor Doug Scrimgeour
agreed that council had to go to the
consultation meeting with a plan,
and once completed, the North
Huron group should get together
with one voice and move ahead.
Council advised Stewart to pro-
ceed with his option and to get
together as many facts and figures
as possible for the next council ses-
sion, June 1.
