Huron East
staff gets
raise
Huron East
employees - in
particular the
employees at the
Tuckersmith Day
Nursery - got a little
something extra in
their stockings this
year as council
approved a 2.5 per
cent raise and a bonus
at the Dec. 18 council
meeting.
The eight staff
members at the
Tuckersmith Day
Nursery received a
portion of $10,730 as a
one-time bonus
through the provincial
Best Start program.
The purpose of the
funding was to support
the increase of staff
salaries in childcare
centres and Best Start
programs, said a
report to Huron East
council from Clerk -
Administrator Jack
McLachlan.
The bonus was only
given the full-time
frontline staff at the
daycare centre to
recognize their
performance this past
year.
Council also passed a
2.5 per cent raise to all
employees to reflect
the consumer price
index. The raise adds
$57,500 to the 2008
budget.

still
debating
financing of
FHT building

allEIMMENO
Concerns from a few Huron East
councillors at last Tuesday's
council Meeting about whether or
not the finances for the new
family health team (FHT) building
will work out as optimistically as
projected were quashed by Mayor
Joe Seili.
"That issue was gone at the last
meeting," responded Seili to
Tuckersmith Coun. Larry
McGrath who raised the question.
McGrath said he was concerned
about whether or not a $2 million
debenture over 20 years could be
paid off at the fees planned for
tenants.
_
"My basic concern is that
ratepayers could get hung with
more than the calculated
numbers. My concern is how much
can we bear," he said, adding that
the FHT building, the new library
in Brussels and a possible sewage
system in Egmondville could
overburden ratepayers.
Seili responded with an
announcement that Dr. Claudio
Munoz, of London, is opening a
clinical research centre in
Seaforth at the new FHT building
in the new year to study stroke
and heart attack prevention.
