Council continues
library discussions
By Carol Burns
Citiz.en staff
At the May 9 meeting of Huron
East Council, there was considerable
discussion regarding the require-
ments being placed on the Brussels
Library, compared to the library in
Blyth.
"People in the Brussels area are
supportive of the library size. Let's
just concentrate on assessing how
we (in Brussels) can become
accessible." said councillor Mark
Beaven, Grey.
Mayor Joe Seili pointed out that

In June, Huron East residents will
have the opportunity to discuss with
council how • the $411,372 Move
Ontario-Improving roads and
bridges budget initiative from the
Ontario government will be spent.
In an interview Monday, Brad
Knight, treasurer, stated "It is nice to
have money with no strings
attached. We were not anticipating
these funds, and they give us
flexibility in meeting some of our
needs."
Knight said it looked as if the
government allocated $44 per capita
to in Huron County, although he did
not know exactly how the Ontario
government came up with the

about the trends in enrolment and
the condition of their schools.
But she said the ideas brought by
the board (including the possibility
of expanding a rural school to take
some town kids, because its one-
level nature makes it easily
accessible to all students) made for
very interesting discussion when
combined with ideas brought by
school council members (including
one person's notion of disposing of
although accessibility was an issue,
so was the current size of the
Brussels library in comparison to the
Brussels population.
It was noted that although
the Blyth library does not meet
all the provincial standards, the
new location was approved for
three years, and, in addition to
being fully accessible, it does
represent a significant increase in
size
Council recommended watching
usage figures for the Blyth library to
see the relationship between the
increased size and usage.
amount.
During its May 2 meeting, council
was given a list of five projects that
had been eliminated from this year's
road budget.
"We tendered the whole way for
the Front Rd." stated Knight, but did
not have enough to complete the
project.."
He indicated that the additional
funding provided council with the
opportunity t o complete such jobs.
"Whether we will use it in this
year's budget, or if we will put half
of it in reserves, it gives us
flexibility," stated Knight.
Knight said that these funds will
be discussed at the public meeting
which addresses the zoning bylaw.
It is likely that the meeting will be
held in June.

schools and putting all students on
one site at the existing high school).
She was supportive of the process,
however.
"What we're trying to do is work
through what makes sense for
students over a long period of time.
It's about knowing that change is
going to happen . . and being at the
lead of it and being proactive instead
of trying to pick up the pieces
afterward."
