The board sent a letter to the town advising the part-time member had been hired at a rate of $5.50 per hour, effective January 1. Reeve Bill Mickle suggested the matter be sent to the town's employee relations committee after he said there were questions over the number of hours the employee was required as well as the rate of pay. The employee had been working under a government -funded program last year at a pay rate of $5.00 per hour and Mickle suggested the increase was out of line with that being propos- ed for town employees this year. Mayor Bruce Shaw then said he was exercising his authority by changing the motion to one of tabling the matter. However, council voted against the motion to table the matter then agreed to approve the hiring of the employee at the rate specified by the board. Rec board member Gaylan Josephson noted that present policy allowed the rec director or facilities manager to hire part-time employees to keep the rec center or programs operational.

Exeter ends year in good shape Exeter ended the past year in ex- cellent financial shape according to statistics supplied by Clerk Liz Bell Revenue was up $37,480 over the budget figure, while expenditures were $82,377 less than budget. "The departments are to be com- mended for staying within budgets", she said and then came in for some commendation herself from finance chairman Bill Mickle. In his final report as chairman. Mickle expressed gratitude to Mrs. Bell'"for her excellent maihtenance Plan meetings for RC school Catholic ratepayers in Huron and Perth Counties have been asked to watch for announcements of public meetings to be held en the question of a Catholic high school. The Huron -Perth Roman Catholic Separate School Board's secondary school planning committee has sent out a report through the schools and churches in the two counties. Trustee John Devlin of Stratford, chairman of the planning committee, said the'ommittee is now in the pro- cess of gathering information. Once it has information it wants to present this to the public. "At the moment we're working out 'specific details," said Devlin referr- ing to the committee's task of detail- ing how Catholic high school(s) will be set up in the two counties. There was some concern that not all ratepayers received a copy of the report which outlines the board's plan to se sc oo s by September 1986. "We want to make sure nobody is left out," said Devlin. Copies are available at all Catholic schools and churches. of finances for Exeter." He advised council that reserve funds of $27,000 have been set aside for future needs. These funds have been allocated to administration, cemetery, public works, recreation and police. and "should modestly assist in future budget considerations." The past year started with an ac- cumulated net revenge of $18,000 and at the end of the year had increased to $120,857 of net revenue to be available to offset tax needs. Mickle further explained that the assessment base has been increased by about $67,000 and this means a sav- ing to taxpayers of about three mills on tax requirements. He further outlined some developments which have taken place over the past four years during his term as finance chairman. These were as follows: (1) Reserve Funds for operating purposes have been increased from $90,000 (1980) to $231,500 (1984) I. Due to the increase of these reserves, in- terest has been received to offset taxes and no borrowings were re- quired at the bank, (2) The lagoon expansion of $1.2 million was completed without debenturing. (3) Equipment. Reserve Funds of 127.000 have been established. (4 ) Capital expenditures of approx- imately $1.2 million over the past four years have been spent on equipment, property, streets, etc. (5) Services and maintenance re- quirements have also been maintain- ed for the needs of area citizens. (6)On the negative side r� i v''c mmu ated net revenue tivhich is used to offset taxes from $147,492 ( 1980) to $120,857 (1984). (7) Tax increases for. the Town's use, have an average of 2 percent in- crease per year (total 8 percent). Drainage contract let The tender of Parker & Parker Limited for the construction of the Wallace Drainage Works, branches A and B, was accepted by Tuckersmith council, at a price of $9,000, the lowest on nine tenders; and the tender of Bayline Drainage for the construction of the Nott Drainage Works was ac- cepted at a tender price of $6,927, the lowest of five received. Council voted that any surplus from the Sesquicentennial celebrations will be used,to mount an original grader of the township at the proposed new township shed site near Egmondville and any further balance will be used for capital park improvements for the residents of the township. Council endorsed the action of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture whereby the Federation will prohibit the Ministry of Natural Resources staff access to any property to con- duct land evaluations until the ministry has supplied the Federation with answers to their concerns as to their policies for the future. Council agreed to offer to the general public township hats at .$5.00 per hat and township pins at 124(1 per pin. Approval was given to the hiring of Miss Nancy Sue Swan as a full time - teacher at the Day Care Centre at Vanastra at a rate of 112,200 effective once a replacement has been hired for the Special Day Care Centre at Vanastra. Karen McEwing McCon- nell, Day Care Supervisor, will adver- tise in the local paper for a part time teacher for the Special Day Care Centre. Paul Klopp of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture attended the council session to outline the Federation's achievements during SKATING MOON BEAMS - Bronyn Baynham, Tara Hunking, Terri Snell, Melisso Brock and Cathy Wagner skated as Moonbeams in Saturday's figure skating carnival. T -A photo the past year and to present council with a copy of the proposed budget for 1985. Klopp extended to council the appreciation of the Federation for the use of the office facilities in the township's municipal building and hoped to be able to continue to use it in the future. The meeting was adjourned at 11:15 p.m. Public works The 1984 maintenance and capital projects budget for the public works committee was presented to Exeter council this week. it was approved in principle. but will be dependent upon budget approval later in the year. The total cost of the projects outlin- ed by committee chairman Morley Ilall is $:128,4(0, of which 170.000 is for maintenanee. Capital projects include 1121,000 for the reconstruction of Victoria SI. from the entrance to the community park to the east end of the public school, in - chiding a parking lot and new sidewalks: 127.000 for the paving of Huron St from Main to Carling; 123.(0(1 for excavating and paving Carling St. from Iluron to Ann St. drain: $14,(100 for the final coat of pav- ing on Marlborough from Iluron to Wellington: 117.600 for the top coat of paving on Pryde: 111.800 for resurfac- ing Kingscourt: and 114,000 for resur- facing Thomas. The Victoria Sl. project is eligible for a ministry grant of about one- third. while the others will be eligible for 50 percent funding. Councillor Ben Hoogenboom asked if the extension of John St. E. to facilitate the proposed new nursing home would eliminate some of the planned projects. Hall,replied that the John St. pro- ject would be discussed in closed ses- sion after council. hul did go on to say that it would not be fair to eliminate some of the proposed projects for that extension. He said consideration should be given to take some funds from other departments to help pay for the John St. work and added that the cost Would probably be borne over a two- year period. in answer to a question from Reeve Kill Mickle, works superintendent Glen Kells advised that the proposal 1985 budget was comparable to last y'ear's. Hall told ('ouncillor Gaylan Josephson that the projects were not necessarily in any order of priority as listed on the committee's recommen- dation. however, Kells and Shaw refuted that by saying the projects were listed pretty well in priority. The MTC grant on the $328.400 total is expected to he around 1115.000.
