The Bruce proposal had been under study by the Huron. County roads committee and it was County Engineer Bob Dempsey who acknowledged "some merit" in changing the county's fiscal year. "I have somewhat mixed emotions about the County of Bruce proposal," Dempsey said. "I can see some merit in changing the fiscal year, but not to the dates they are proposing." The Bruce resolution requests the provincial government to amend legislation so that fiscal years for municipalities would run- from December 1 to November 30, rather than the present January 1 to December 30. Among reasons given by Bruce for the propsa) is the opportunity to more closely estimate and better budget for . winter control costs. Such costs for December are difficult to estimate when they must be determined for a budget which is set in the early part of that year. Also, under this arrange- ment, the costs for each winter season are divided and charged to two dif- ferent fiscal years. As far as the Huron County roads department was concerned, Dempsey said, any change of fiscal year should be considered only if it were to coin- cide with that of the provincial government. Dempsey said he could foresee a number of difficultues in Huron county's year were to end on November 30 and '"we would then have to wait until the ministry's (transportation and communications) year ends, four months later, for our ,subsidies and grants." As a result of the roads committee's observations and a similar recom- mendation by the executive commit- tee, Huron council made its decision to not support the Bruce resolution.
