Budget
New legislation could drop policing costs'
as council hopes to delay signing contract
By Scott Hilgsndorff
Expositor Editor
Huron East council is hoping to delay
entry into a $959,000 contract for OPP
policing until it knows what kind of
impact amendments to the Police
Services Act might have.
"I'm going to choose to look at this as
good news," said Mayor Lin Steffler at
council's May 22 meeting.
Council has spent months trying to
determine what level of policing was
best needed for both the rural and urban
parts of Huron East while hoping to
avoid a huge impact on taxpayers.
They decided on a $959,000 contract
that would see an enhanced level of
service in all of Huron East.
Steffler told council changes to the
Police Services Act could allow them to
have drive-by policing in rural parts of
the municipality and dedicated officers
assigned to the urban areas with hopes
of saving money on the contract.
This could be good news as council
tries to find ways to cut back on a
potential $200,000 tax increase as it
prepares its first budget for Huron East.
Council has not signed the contract
for policing yet and Tuckersmith Coun.
Bill DeJong said they should find out
what the implications of the police act
changes would be. "before we commit
ourselves with a contract with the OPP.-
A letter is being sent to the OPP's
contract policing division to let them
know they wish to hold off signing until
they have more information on the
pending changes.
Steffler expected council could know
of the impact to pending changes in the
act within a couple weeks.
The budget is expected to he finalized
around mid June.
Tuckersmith accused of entering Huron East
with work that should already have been done
By Scott Hilgendorff
Expositor Editor
So far, Huron East council
has cut $20,000 from a
possible $200,000 tax
increase as it tries to find
ways to soften the blow of
anticipated tax hikes,
particularly in Grey Ward, in
the newly amalgamated
municipality's first budget.
The cut came when
Tuckersmith Ward
councillors admitted some
work budgeted for the
Vanastra Recreation Complex
should have been done before
the amalgamation.
"I think it's odd so much
went wrong with that rec
centre right after
amalgamation. You had a big
reserve," said McKillop Ward
councillor Sharon McClure.
The facility's pool needs a
new filtration system, major
repairs are needed to the roof
and furnace work are
included in the needs for the
CMHA members Dr. Robert Shephard, John Robertson (3rd
from left) and Randal Hulley present plans to Seaforth Lions
Club Past President Marlen Vincent (2nd left). CMHA has
purchased 92 Goderich,Street in Seaforth for offices.

facility.
"It looks like nothing was
spent on it," said McClure.
Deputy Mayor Bernie
MacLellan of Tuckersmith
said the filtration system
probably should have been
done three years ago and
suggested taking that out of
the budget and drawing on
the ward's reserves instead.
Each of the five former
municipalities are
maintaining their own
reserves for projects within
the wards.
"There are things in the
budget that likely should
have been repaired before
amalgamation," said
Tuckersmith Coun. Larry
McGrath.
But he said some work was
done before the restructuring
took place including repairs
to the facility's boiler.
Brussels Coun. Greg
Wilson said he was not
concerned about all the wards
sharing the cost of repairs in
Vanastra as long as all the
wards would share in the
future cost of upgrading fire
equipment in different wards.
"We have a 1954 pumper
still in service. It qualifies for
antique shows too." he said
as an example of future
equipment needs.
