Council still considering best method to pay
for new $2.5 million family health team building
Susan Hundertmark
iiMEEMED
Paying for the bulk of the cost of a
new $2.5 million building for the
Huron Family Health Team up front
is being considered by Huron East
council.
But, the details of the discussion
could not be shared at open session
of council's Oct. 23 meeting, said
Deputy -Mayor Bernie MacLellan.
The question was raised by
Tuckersmith Coun. Larry McGrath,
who suggested earlier in October
that council could be paying up to
$1.7 million in interest if they
debenture the project over 20 years
at seven per cent interest.
"I want to know if councillors
have thought anymore about paying
for the FHT building really quick
since we are coming up to budget
time," he said at Tuesday's meeting.
"The answer to the question is yes
but we can't elaborate in open ses-
sion. We had some discussion but
there's nothing we're ready to rec-
ommend yet," answered MacLellan.
Weekly recycling to continue
in Seaforth
While Seaforth can save $9,536 a
year by switching from weekly to bi-
weekly pick-up for recycling, Huron
East councillors decided against the
move at council's Oct. 23 meeting.
"From the people I've talked to,
it's a flat out no. Most people put it
(their recycling) out weekly," said
Seaforth Coun. Joe Steffler.
"If they miss a week (during
biweekly pick-up), it becomes a has-
sle. They could have it (a full recy-
cling box) for a month," said
Deputy -Mayor Bernie MacLellan.
Tuckersmith Coun. Les Falconer
questioned if Tuckersmith residents
were expected to have more room to
store recyclables since they have bi-
weekly pick-up.
"But, you started with bi-weekly
pick-up to begin with," said
MacLellan.
"Aren't we Huron East and
shouldn't it be the same?" respond-
ed Falconer.
MacLellan pointed out that since
garbage and recycling pick-up is an
area -rated service, different wards
do not have to offer the same ser-
vices.
Brussels going green
with dual purpose bins
Replacing 'the existing garbage
cans with dual purpose bins that
also allow recycling was approved
for downtown Brussels by Huron
East council at its Oct. 23 meeting.
The request was made by the
Brussels Business Group, along
with another request to leave
garbage units out all winter since
they are sometimes removed to
allow easier snow removal.
"Inspired by the Centre for
Applied Renewable Energy being
situated in Brussels, we would like
to encourage the municipality to
move in a green direction where
possible," said a letter from Chris
Ten Pas, of the business group.
"It's a good idea in that they do
encourage recycling. I don't know
the cost effect," said Brussels Coun.
David Blaney.
"I've seen the bins and people do
take the time to sort things. They
are a good idea," said Deputy -Mayor
Bernie MacLellan.
Brussels Coun. Frank Stretton
warned that the community some-
times has problems with people
bringing their household wastes to
municipal garbage cans instead of
paying for bag tags.
There was no discussion about
how much the municipality is will-
ing to spend on the bins.
