Council updated on CBO issue

Deputy-reeve Murray. Scott told
North Huron councillors on Monday
night that he felt the county was not
interested in taking over the
responsibility of a chief building
official.
Stating that he had come to the
conclusion following a recent
meeting of the Huron County
committee of the whole, Scott added
that he had also gotten the
impression that some municipalities
don't see the need for partnering.
At the first North Huron council
meeting of this month, councillors
had expressed many concerns
regarding the new provincial
regulations that mean chief building
officials must be certified. They felt
the cost of having one in North
Huron would be great and thought
that establishing a partnership with
another municipality to share the
service would be an option.

Residents of Sunset Drive in Blyth
won't have that address much
longer.
North Huron clerk-administrator
John Stewart told councillors at their
Monday night meeting that they had
been contacted by 9-1-1 and told the
They also discussed the idea of
having one chief building official for
the entire county.
Reeve Doug Layton added his
opinion of the committee meeting to
Scott's saying that many seemed to
think the province wouldn't proceed
on this. "I found that all hard to
believe."
Stewart agreed saying that this
isn't like some programs where a
municipality could sit back and wait
for the government to respond. "The
chief building official has to sign to
issue a building permit, and I don't
know of any who would put their
name on a permit if they aren't
certified. Any problem would come
back on them."
Layton said he had also tried to
speak in favour of the county taking
on the responsibility but noted that it
had fallen "on deaf ears."
Stewart is bringing a
recommendation back to council on
how to proceed at the Sept. 7
meeting.
name would have to be changed as
there were too many "Sunsets" in
Huron County.
After some discussion on possible
names for the street, council agreed
with Stewart's suggestion that the
three property owners on Sunset
Drive be given the opportunity to
express their opinions on an
appropriate name.
