At the Monday night meeting of North Huron council, councillor Archie MacGowan explained that township residents had expressed concern that people from outside the municipality paid the same rate for using the facility as North Huron taxpayers did. MacGowan said the four munici- palities with the highest attendance at the complex were Morris- Turnberry, Howick, South Bruce and Huron-Kinloss. All were con- tacted about paying a percentage to the centre based on the number of residents they had using the facility. In a letter, Howick council stated the consensus was that they have their own recreation facilities and are not willing to subsidize North Huron. They felt that efforts should be directed towards the actual users. "Those who use should pay," MacGowan said. The letter, he said, did not surprise him, but the committee had felt an attempt should be made to give the municipalities the opportunity, before looking at such options as user pay. Once the committee hears from the other municipalities they will hold further discussion, said MacGowan.

County engineer Don Pletch explained that repairs to bridges this year had run over budget in part because of surprises when the repairs started, but also because information in the previous study had been inaccurate. He recom- mended council commission a new structure inventory and condition study. Warden Rob Morley agreed that the previous study was faulty. That study was completed after the collapse of a bridge in the south- ern part of the county. Pletch said the company had some people expe- rienced in doing bridge assessments but the people who did the actual work weren't. Central Huron councillor John Bezaire wondered if there was any- way to hold the new company to account. Pletch said to have a study that is more accurate the county needed to "Get the right company." Some companies have done hundreds of assessments, he said. But Bluewater councillor Paul Klopp questioned the need to spend more money on studies. Even if estimates of the repairs needed on the various bridges were inaccurate, he said, the ranking of bridges that needed repairs were probably close. But Pletch said the condition study should be updated every cou- ple of years anyway. While agreeing the roads department knows the order of the bridges that need repair, "We need to know the deficiencies accurately." In asset management, Pletch said, "If you can't measure it, you can't manage it." County briefs It's going to cost Huron County $400,000 to $500,000 more than expected for road paving this sum- mer after the price of asphalt sky- rocketed. Don Pletch, Huron County engi- neer, explained in a report to the planning, agriculture and public works committee that on May 25 the price of asphalt cement rose to $455 a tonne from the $325 on which the budget was set. This increase, plus the increase in fuel costs will drive up the cost of the road program, he said. *** Tenders accepted for repairs to the Donnybrook and Marnoch bridges, north of Auburn on County Rd. I are $118,000 more than the original engineer's estimates for the two projects. The lowest tenders, from Underground Services (1983) Limited were for a total of $878,555. *a,* Huron County's planning and development department is examin- ing the possibility of creating a per- manent depot for accepting house- hold hazardous wastes at the Mid- Wron landfill site. The move follows indications the province is preparing tougher regu- lations on the wastes. Scott Tousaw, director of planning and develop- ment said there would likely still be rotating temporary sites in different parts of the county but the Mid- Huron site would provide a regular location, probably for three seasons of the year. The county is investigating costs, certification necessary to create the site and the agreement of the part- ners in the landfill participate. *** The county's new forest conser- vation bylaw was approved by council at its July 6 meeting. The bylaw had been circulated to all local municipalities and support- ed by them. *** The number of people on welfare increased from the same period in 2005 in April, but dropped from March totals. There were 16 fewer cases and 21 fewer beneficiaries than in March, a drop of 4 and 2.3 per cent respec- tively. On a yearly basis, though, there were 14 more cases (3.87 .per cent) and 73 more beneficiaries (8.96 per cent). *** John MacKinnon, social service administrator, announced he will be retiring from his post in November. He'll mark 35 years working with the county in October. He received a round of applause from councillors and fellow staff members. *** Art's Landscaping of Goderich was the lowest of three tenders for recon- struction and expansion of the parking lot at Queen's Villa, the public hous- ing development in Blyth. The tender was for $50,152. *** More people are breaking provin- cial traffic laws in Huron County and it's been a bonanza for the county's budget. A report from treasurer David Carey noted that 6,183 tickets were handed out in 2005, compared to 5,999 in 2004 and up from 4,789 in 2002. The county had budgeted to receive $221,900 last year and instead received $278,987 as its 63 per cent share of the gross revenue.
