My neighbour has made it a habit to feed the birds in winter and if you sit near her window you can see a wide variety of birds coming to feed. The most spectacular against the backdrop of snow, of course, are the cardinals and these are closely fol- lowed in colourful display by the bluejays and the chickadees. Lately a sparrow hawk has been a regular near the feeding area and it swoops down targeting the smaller birds. thy. Pallbearers were Lisa Bill Glanville, Danny By David Blaney Citizen staff The report of the administration committee for Huron East was the subject of lively discussion at the Feb. 5 council meeting. Proposed tax increases and the need for capital reserves received a thorough airing from councillors. The committee reviewed several factors which it felt were going to make tax increases necessary this year. They noted that contributions to the employees' pension fund were again required and the possibility of an addition of $40,000 in insurance premiums. They also noted that $50,000 had been committed from the new budget for economic devel- opment and an additional $65,000 for a full year of the police contract. The most significant factor in the calculations was the capital budget requirements as set out by the Public Works Co-ordinator John Forrest. Forrest has indicated that a signifi- cant proportion of his department's equipment is in need of replacement. It was acknowledged that this would be exceptionally difficult while maintaining spending levels to which pre-amalgamation councils were previously accustomed. The committee recommended that coun- cil should look at having a roads- needs-study to help set priorities for the whole municipality. Council discussion was sparked by Deputy-Mayor Bernie MacLellan's response to the committee's sugges- tion that a three per cent tax increase was a realistic goal. MacLellan sug- gested that he would not be opposed to an increase of four or five per cent if it would help with what he felt was an oncoming capital costs crisis. He said, "If we don't start placing some money aside for future capital expenses we will be in trouble." He asked council to "start investing in our future." Councillor Bill DeJong said that he felt money spent on roads was well spent. "Roadwork is high con- tact and high visibility with our ratepayers." These statements caused Councillor Sharon McClure to say she did not want her ratepayers pay- ing for the fact that other councils had not kept their equipment up to date. She claimed that the former Twp. of McKillop had brought two of the newer graders and one of the newer heavy trucks "to the table" as well as "cadillac" roads. The 'who had contributed what' nature of the discussion did not sit well with Councillor Greg Wilson. He firmly suggested, "Sooner or later we have to quit this ward stuff. We are the -community of Huron East." He went on to suggest that they should be doing the road work in order of need rather than trying to spread it evenly over all the wards. DeJong was less sure of this approach and said he felt the work should be spread around the munici- pality. Eventually the whole question was left for the formal budget discus- sions. County to discuss report, Mar. 6 Huron County councillors will meet March 6 to consider the 13 rec- ommendations on county adminis- tration contained in the report by consultant Hugh Thomas. The meeting will be held at the Benmiller Inn at 9:30 a.m. This is a public meeting, Warden Ben Van Diepenbeek assured councillors at Thursday's council meeting and members of the public or staff will be welcome to attend. Councillors spent considerable time debating the scheduling of the meeting because two councillors, Lin Steffler of Huron East and Ellen Connelly of Goderich, cannot attend that day. Attempts to find other dates, however, proved fruitless. Van Diepenbeek suggested the discussion may take more than the one day scheduled. Thomas will be on hand to take councillors through his report. Robert Glanville, Gary Glanville and Brad hill, Kyle Glanville, John Glanville, Mike Miller.
