Grand Bend budget up less than five percent
GRAND BEND - The pencil
was sharpened and the axe came
out as Grand Bend Council
slashed over $78,000 from its 'mu-
nicipal budget Monday night.
Taxpayers will be hit with a 4.96
percent increase.
"We've got some major expens-
es coming up and we haven't made
provision for them," said council-
lor Dennis Snider.
"We either cut services or tour-
ism expenditures," he added.
Reeve Bruce Woodley said it
was important to keep the budget
increase at a minimum due to
boundary negotiations.
Woodley said if the village's
budget had an increase of eight to
10 percent, it might discourage
people from moving to Grand
Bend.
He also noted that a neighboring
municipality had borrowed from
its capital reserve to keep their
budget down.
There was no increase in either
the working reserves or the re-
serve for the the new fire truck.
"There's just no money for that,"
said Woodley of the truck fund.
Another $3,000 was taken off of
the cost of maintaining the bull-
dozer. The village won't need to
use the bulldozer as much since
Lambton County has taken over it's
landfill.
There was also $2,000 cut from
supplies and materials and there
was no money set aside to build a
proposed office in the works de-
partment building.
"This isn't easy, we have to cut
somewhere," said Woodley as he
went over the cuts with council.
In staff wages, the village cut
$6,000 but full-time employees
were not affected. Also, there was a
decrease in the legal budget, down
to $35,000.
There were some concerns about
the children's summer program and
it was originally planned to cut
$1,0() from this budget but in-
stead, council decided to cut $1,000
from its miscellaneous budget.
Last year, the children's program
cost $10 per child which councillor
Bill Uniac said was comparable to
other programs. However, Snider
didn't agree.
"I always said we should be
charging a lot more than that," said
Snider.
On a dare • With no choice but to grin and bear it, Bill Hunter had
his right leg shaved at Big '0 Friday morning. After bragging about
his legs for shorts and sneakers day at the plant, he was dared to
have his leg shaved. He claimed he would do it for $25, but when
Anne Sullivan (left) collected $100 in employee contributions, he
had no choice. The money will be going toward the Sick Kids Hospi-
tal.
"Everyone is suffering, there is
basically no one going untouched,"
said Woodley.
The Chamber of Commerce, who
came to the village last Tuesday
asking for a grant, was given
$2,000.
"We are well, well known for our
fireworks," said Woodley.
Snider said not all members of
the chamber were keen on having
the annual event.
"Two big wigs of the Chamber of
Commerce told me they don't want
the fireworks," said Snider.
Uncertain: There was some lack
of communication between the
council and the chamber and it sur-
faced last Tuesday night at another
session of council.
Chamber of Commerce president
Norm Johnson said he thought the
village was going to let the cham-
ber run the municipal parking lot
for a couple of weeks and collect
the revenue to buy fireworks.
Councillor John McDowell sug-
gest the chamber try to get more
money from the local businesses.
It was estimated the fireworks
would cost $8,500.
At last week's meeting, Snider
said thousands of people come to
watch the fireworks and leave tons
of garbage behind them which has
to be cleaned up.
"Are we the United Way here to
provide these little goodies?"
Cook -off canned
GRAND BEND - A proposed
cookoff which would have seen a
beer tent come to the village, has
been rejected by Grand Bend
Council.
Last Tuesday night, London's
Jim Smith asked council to grant
him permission to hold what
would be a giant barbeque on the
holiday weekend in August.
Last month, Smith came to the
village with the proposal which he
said would bring as much as
$50,000 to local charities, like the
Grand Bend Library Fund.
His idea was to have local res-
taurants sell chicken and steak on
a bun; entertainment would be
provided and a beer tent would
also be present.
Originally, Smith requested the
event to be held on the beach but

Town still won't commit
to police services board
EXETER -, Town councillor and
police committee chairman Doro-
thy Chapman repeated her recom-
mendation Exeter adopt a five -
person police services board, and
again council postponed the deci-
sion at last Tuesday's meeting.
Under the new Police Services
Act, council can choose a three-
person board with one council rep-
resentative, or a five -person board
with two pil, tepre§ent4tives to
;replace ' `..the ' ' presditcouncil-
appointed committee.
Chapman argued in favour of the
larger board and asked the decision
be finalized so the positions could
be filled and mandatory training be-
gin.
However, councillor Ben Hoo-
genboom opened the debate by ar-
guing a three-member board would
be adequate.
"I just can't see the validity of a
five -man committee," said Hoogen-
boom. "These people are going to
be paid, even."
Chapman said the per meeting
cost was not significant, compared
to the town control over police ex-
penses afforded by the larger board.
Council has fought with the prov-
ince over its Police Services Act for
months, arguing that the provincial-
ly appointed -member board meant
town's had less control over the
costs of their own policing.
Reeve Bill Mickle, however,
wasn't convinced the wage issue
was inconsequential.
"Isn't it true the commission [ser-
vices board] sets its own budget?"
asked Mickle and Chapman agreed.
"So couldn't they set their own fee
and have no recourse from coun-
cil?"
Nevertheless, Mickle said he had
met with the solicitor -general as
part of his duties as Ontario Small
Urban Municipalities chairman aild
understood sweeping changes ,Io
the five-month old Act were al-
ready in the works.
Councillor Dave Urlin, also on
the police committee, urged council
to prepare to set up a services board
soon.
"If we wait until September, Oc-
tober then we're just behind the
eight -ball," said Urlin.
Mickle said he didn't mind coun-
cil seeking the names of possible
future board members, but said the
five -member or three-member deci-
sion could be delayed.
Chapman noted the mandatory
training programs for board mem-
bers take place in the fall, but
Mickle moved to table the decision.
"We are making some decisions
here that are perhaps not realistic
and perhaps a waste of our time
and I move we table it," said Mick -
le.
"That's a waste of time," replied
Chapman, who was overruled as
being out of order.
Thames Road by Rhoda Rohde
council suggested it be held on the
recreation fields near the Legion.
Due in part to the numerous prob-
lems over the long weekend, coun-
cil said no to Smith.
"We're a little bit hesitant be-
cause we don't know what to ex-
pect," said Grand Bend councillor
Dennis Snider.
Council received a letter from the
Lions Club who at one time bought
the recreation property and turned
it over to the village.
in the letter, the Lions Club were
concerned at damage which could
be caused to the property.
Councillor Bill Uniac said Smith
needed a full commitment out of
the local restaurants.
"A week ago, you thought it was
the geatest thing in the world,"
said Smith to council's decision.
