Huron -Kinloss Twp. to receive less money from reinvestment fund
From page 1
Ontario Municipal Partnership
Fund Allocation
Huron -Kinloss Twp. council treasurer
Jodi .MacArthur explained when the
Community Reinvestment Fund was
replaced r by the Ontario Municipal
Partnership Fund. in 2005, the new formula
decreased the amount of funding the munic-
ipality received from the province.
At that time, the province implemented a
stable funding guarantee, so the municipal-
ity would not lose` funding. Since then the
municipality has been receiving a total of
$1,391,00 annually.
H -K Twp. staff recently received a phone
call from AMO with concernsthat the
province has not committed to providing
the stable funding guarantee for 2010. For
2009, the stable funding component was
only $647,500.
• "I didn't realize it was a decrease to this
extent," said councillor Anne Eadie. "It will
make budget time a little more difficult."
MacArthur is following up with other
municipalities in the area whose funding
has also decreased. They are hoping -to meet
with Carol Mitchell in the near future to
voice concerns.
Bruce Beach Drain proposal
•Huron -Kinloss Twp. council received a
letter from David Larson, P. Eng. in regards
to a ditch proposal on the east side of Bruce
Beach Road. Larsen had originally request-
ed a delegation at council, but was unable to
attend the Oct. 5 meeting. An update on the.
proposal will be provided through email.
Waste management
The director of public works Hugh
Nichol attended a waste management tech-
nical sub -committee meeting on Sept 29
and the session's topic was a . review of
waste diversion within the county, . such as
bale wrap, electronics, tires, etc.
Bruce County has agreed to .oversee the
hazardous waste . collection for 2010, but
their belief rema itis that recycling prograos
should ' remain the responsibility of the
lower tier municipalities. -

mechanical/biological waste treatment
developed in Israel, known as the arrowbio
process. The process involves taking all
household garbage, including recyclables,
dumping the material into a vat of water-
based bio -process liquid, which sorts out
the recyclable material by density and
results in an end product of biodegradable
organic material. Potts is hoping tobuild a

pal representatives and local media will be

Township bleachers
Huron -Kinloss Twp. council has turned
down a request for use of the township's
bleachers at a snowmobile racing event in
January, 2010, at Family Funland.
Huron -Kinloss Twp. , recreation and
parks director Mike Fair recommended that
if council approved the use of the bleachers,
that the township payloader would have to
load and unload the bleachers so they are
not damaged. He said cost for the man and
machine is $60 per- hour, plus a recom-
mended rental rate of $50 per bleacher.
Fair said the bleachers can be moved
around, provided it is done properly and
with the township's equipment but that the
users would have to pay to move them. The
group making the request is not a service
club, he added.
"They are township ' resources," said
councillor Jim Hanna. "I. say. no. We're not
in the rental business.
