Warden looks to
streamline Huron
County operations

Newly minted Huron County Warden Ken Oke (South Hu-
ron) wants to d� things a little differently for his one-year
term.
In his first official address to council, Jan. 7, Oke an-
nounced plans to streamline the county's agenda -distribution
process in order to save paper and keep things moving along
in a timely fashion.
"The council booklet is not going to be that thick next
month," he said, noting •councillors will be given binders
so they can review minutes of past sessions, as well as view
agendas, rather than the past practice of receiving a new
booklet every month.
Another step in a new direction, noted Oke, is to urge
councillors to pull points of interest from minutes for further
discussion when necessary rather than reviewing committee
reports clause by clause.
In his first warden's report, Oke said while his schedule has
not been too hectic since earning the spot in December, he did
attend a recent,opening at the Goderich Coop Gallery.
In urging councillors to visit the site, Oke also encouraged
them to approach him with any ideas on how to streamline
operations at the county level.
