Councillors found themselves questioning the merits of spending $26,862 for a new 2009 Chev Im- pala for recently hired clerk, Barb Wilson. Coun. Dave Johnston (Bluewa- ter) was among the first to ask when council gave the thumbs up to the purchase of a new car for the coun- ty clerk. "I personally don't recall the clerk being one of those senior manage- ment team (SMT) positions," he says. "Was the clerk included?" Larry Adams, chief administra- tive officer for the county, says it was originally the intent of a con- troversial resolution passed last year, that all members of the SMT to enjoy the benefit of a county - purchased vehicle.

MORE INFORMATION is available: • At the Huron County Planning and Development Department, Goderich, (519) 524-8394 ext. 3 or • On the County website: www.huroncounty.ca DATED AT THE COUNTY OF HURON THIS 20' DAY OF MAY, 2009 Barbara Wilson, Clerk County of Huron 1 Court House Square Goderich, ON N7A 1 M2 (519) 524-8394 During those debates, then county warden John Bezaire (Central Hu- ron) was also slated to receive a vehicle but that proposal was later removed. "Obviously, I forgot," replied Johnston. While Coun. Bernie MacLellan (Huron East) sought . further clari- fication; the CAO noted the newly defined clerk's position was incor- porated into the SMT while the past clerk's job description was not. Coun. George Robertson (South Huron) echoed Johnston's senti- ments about when the clerk's job title was added to the SMT's roster. However, the CAO noted fur- ther debate would have to be held in -camera since it is considered a personnel issue. After a short in -camera session, councillors returned to open ses- sion. Coun. Bill Dowson asked that debate be cut short in order to deal with the resolution at hand. "We either purchase this car or we don't," he says. The COW then supported the proposed purchase with only Coun. Neil Rintoul expressing opposition. Coun. Joe Seili (Huron East) was absent for the vote. County council must approve the resolution at its June session before the purchase can be made. Coun. John Grace (Goderich) also asked that future tenders in- clude broader wording to enable more dealerships to participate. As it stood, three area dealerships submitted tenders with acceptable specifications. "When it's geared this specifi- cally, of course you're only going to get one vehicle," says Grace. olifoucrtrioi ••/ fi tt 1'.wQom`S' [,i '/.~,h 5r4 Photo by Denny Scott Funds for the Foundation Lions President Bill Vanstone presents one third of the club's $10,000 pledge to Colborne principal Angela Cowley, and Angie Hewitt and Lorie Pullen of the Colborne Builds a Community Playground Committee.
