VV iwi��lei bite county clerk should
receive a new car as part and parcel
of the gig proved to be the subs`ect of
some debate at Huron County coun-
cil chambers May 13.
Councillors found themselves -
questioning the merits of spending
$26,862 for a new 2009 Chev Impala
for recently hired clerk, Barb Wil-
son.
Coun. Dave Johnston (Bluewater)
was among the first to ask when
council gave the thumbs up to the
purchase of a new car for the county
clerk.
"I personally don't recall the clerk
being one of those Senior Manage-
ment Team positions," he said. "Was
the clerk included?"
Lai iy Adams, Chief -Administra-
tive Officer for the county, said it was
originally the intent of a controver-
sial resolution passed last year, that

benefit of a county -purchased vehi-

During those debates, then county
warden John Bezaire (Central Hu-

moved.
"Obviously, I forgot," replied John-
ston.
While Coun. Bernie MacLellan
(Huron East) sought further clari-

defined clerk's position was incorpo-
rated 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 m noted further
debate would have to be held in cam-
era (public and media not permitted)
since it is considered a personnel is-
sue.
After a short in -camera session,
councillors returned to open session.
Coun. Bill Dowson asked that de-
bate be cut short in order to deal
with the resolution at hand.
"We either purchase this car or we
don't," he said.

The COW then supported the pro-
posed 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 include
broader wording to enable more deal-
erships to participate. As it stood,
three area dealerships submitted
tenders with acceptable specs.
"When it's geared this specifically,
'of course you're only going to get one
vehicle," said Grace.
