Trustees insured against
Cbnflict of interest charges
a ges
as of December 1, 1983, the
chairman will get *337.50 per
month. The chairman cur-
rently receives $270 per
month.
Trustee Marcy questioned
if the board should rescind a
motion it made earlier con-
cerning trustees' stipend. The
motion approved increasing
the monthly honorarium from
its present rate of *180 to $200
as of December 1. This
represents an approximate 12
percent increase, above the
five percent recommended by
the provincial government.
"I see no reason to adjust it,
not for the degree it is over
the restraint," said chariman
O'Leary.
It was noted the incoming
board could roll back the
trustee honorarium.
Recommendations from a
board review of the French as
a second language program
were presented to the board.
Huron -Perth Separate
School Board trustees are
new insured if they are charg-
ed under the conflict of in-
terest act.
At the Board's October 12
meeting in Dublin, the
trustees approved by a, 6-5
vote to pay a *150 a year
premium for the insurance.
The insurance policy provides
an 80 percent pay back of
legal expenses if the sued
trustee is proven innocent.
Trustee Vincent Young said
if a ratepayer challenges a
trustee with conflict of in-
terest on a particular vote and
the. trustee is proven innocent,
the insurance will pick up the
legal expenses. Trustee Ron
Marcy noted that the in-
surance only covers 80 per-
cent of the costs, up to a max-
imum of $25,000.
Trustees questioned who
pays the remaining 20 per-
cent. It was suggested either
the board could decide to pick
up the remaining amount or
trustees could have their own
insurance policy to cover con-
flict cf interest.
Board chairman John
O'Leary asked what protects
him if he charges a trustee
with a conflict of interest.
Superintendent of business
and finance Jack Lane said if
a trustee suspects he has a
conflict of interest, the trustee.
should make it known before
a vote is taken.
The board also approved
the 1982-83 total insurance
premium of *19,366.
In other business, the board
approved continuing the
chairman's • honorarium at
one and a half times what
trustees make. The chairman
will receive, effective
December 1, $300 per month,

Chairman O'Leary again
polled those trustees who
hadn't yet committed
themselves to running for re-
election on November 8. Lor-
raine Devereaux, who
represents Seaforth and
Tuckersmith Township will
not be running neither will
Keith Montgomery of the
Wingham area. Trustee Ray
Van Vliet of the St. Marys
area said he will be running.
This brings the total to eight
of the 14 trustees who will be
seeking re-election.
To visit Germany
Continued from front page
sincerity in attracting the
Germah industries. He said
that indication of sincerity
now had to move beyond the
letter writing stage.
The committee advised
their German contact; P.
Mueller, that they would visit
th c.uuntry if industrial
leaders were interested in
seeing them, and that invita-
tion drew immediate
responses from 15 German
firms.
The itinerary will be drawn
up by Mueller.
The newly acclaimed reeve
said that this is a different ap-
proach than the one taken by
most communities who usual-
ly opt for attending trade
shows in the hope of
establishing some contacts.
He explained that Exeter has
the advantage of those con-
tacts being established and
the two men will have ap-
pointments already arranged .,
and be in a position to make
the most of the time at their
disposal in Germany.
"From that we'll learn the
sincerity of the people over
there," Mickle commented.:

mitting that the timing may
not be the best due to the cur-
rent economic conditions,
suggested thatat least Exeter
will be known to German
firms if and when they do
decide to expand to this
country.
"I, don't expect any in-
dustries in my hip pocket
coming home," Mickle
concluded.
"We're very optimistic,"
Shaw added, noting that even
getting one industry to settle
in Exeter in the next year or
two would make the trip
worthwhile.
"I'm pretty excited," com-
mented
Morley Hall in endor-
sing the venture.
Gaylan Josephson said he
was very impressed with the
work of the promotion com-
mittee and said that
soniething hopefully will
'come about through it.
Mickle also reported that
Shaw and he would be visting
•a trade show in Toronto prior
to their, departure.
In the past month, the com-
mittee members have made
contact with Japanese and
Italian trade officials, but a
proposal to translate the local
industrial brochure into those
two languages along with
German and French has hit a
snag.
Mickle told council that the
translation costs were very
high and the.committee may
have to do some rethinking in
that regard.
It had been hoped to use the.
$906 recently turned over
from the previous industrial
commission for that purpose.

Good, bad news for rec board,.
conflicting insurance advice
It wasn't quite the "good
news, bad news" situation for
members of the South Huron
rec centre board of manage-
ment at their meeting Thurs-
day regarding possible
revenue from the new
agricultural building.
It was more a case of good
news and conflicting news.
The good news came in the
form of a delegation from the.
Exeter Kinsmen announcing
plans to stage a flea market
at the facility next year. They
want to rent the building for
a period of about 20 Sundays.
Kinsmen Bob Reynolds and
Bill Armstrong said the club
planned to hold the flea
market from May 1 to
September 25 and wanted to
know what type of rental
agreement they could work
out with the board.
' Reynolds said a: number of
dealers hadalready express-
ed an interest in attending the
Sunday events, which would
operate :from 12:00 noon to
5:00 p.m.
When asked when the club
wanted to know the rental
price, he replied that they re-
quired the information by the
end of November.
Chairman John Pym said
the 1982 rental rate was $75
per day.
Bbard members were all in
favor of the project and turn-
ed the matter over to the
facilities committee to settle
ona proposal to give to the
Kinsmen as soon as possible.
Reynolds said he could see
no problem with the flea
market operating at the same
time as ball tournaments as
part of the building could be

turned over to the latter if
required.
The board learned there is
conflicting advice from legal
and insurance people on the
type of insurance required in
the board's plan to rent out
storage space in the
agricultural building for the
fall and winter months.
Again the matter was left to
the facilities committee to
make the final decision when
the conflicting opinions have
been resolved.
Pym said it sounded as
though the board was going to
pay "insurance on insurance"
and it was felt that the project
may be too costly.
Lynne Farquhar indicated
five or six people had express-
ed interest in renting storage
space.
Still. paying for expansion
Sewer charge to continue
That sewer surcharge that
has been increased in the past
to pay for Exeter's sewer ex-
pansion will probably con-
tinue for at least one more
year.
Finance committee chair-
man Bill Mickle's report this
week recommended that the
extra charges remain in ef-
fect for one more year,
although thatwill be left up to
the new council.
However, with the majori-
ty of this year's council retur-
ning in the new term, there
appears little chance the ex-
tra fee will be droppad.
At a previous meeting,
Mickle told council that the
extra charges, along with a
reserve fund, will enable the
town to have most of the costs
for the project in place when
it does proceed.
Mickle's report indicated
the town budget was on target
and if there are funds
available, some additional
street lighting may be ap-
proyed in November.
Council approved a recom-
mendation to set the fire pro-
tection costs to the PUC at
$20,400 for the next three
years or until the real proper-
ty assessment times three
mills equals the fee. The pay-
ment will then be based on the
real property assessment
times three mills formula.
