council plan to make a written sub-
mission to a special committee set up
by the Ontario government to review
county governemnt status.
At -their recent meeting, members
asked to be given a copy of the list of
subjects to be reviewed so they are
able to prepare their comments for
the written submission.
Reeve Gerald Prout declared a con-
flict of interest on one item on the
agenda. That was his application to
the County of Iluron for a severance.
Deputy- -Reeve Margaret Hern
chaired the discussion on the applica-
tion and council agreed to reply they
had no objection to Prout's plan to
severe 50 -acre Tots to be conveyed to
his sons. One of the_severances is at
lot 12 on concession 5 and the other is
"at lot 11.
In his report to council, Prout in-
dicated receiving a complaint regar-
ding a letter sent by the Kirkton-

which may make them assume he's
running things. But. that's not the
way it is," he said.
The staff also felt there was a lack
of positive re-inforcement by the
board, although the health unit staff
"has a reputation among our peers
for programs which are innovative
and progressive," the brief stated.
McBurney says the staff, perhaps.
feel the board doesn't get involved in
the day-to-day operations. But.
because of time constraints. viewing
of the operations of the health unit is
not possible.
Also, McBurney says staff com-
plaint may have something to do with
salary negotiations carried out by the
board.
"it goes back to money. Some may
have thought they didn't get the
money they should have during
negotiations," he said.
