Clausius, a member of both recruitment committees, said Zurich council must give its support to the Zurich committee to show lis eumninment to the community. Westlake added that a would be better fur the Zurich group if • council only supported the Zurich committee, although he udtkd. "We're nut saying anything negative about anyone else." Council decided to write a letter of support fur the South Huron recruitment committee stating that it will . continue to attend the meetings but us first.priurity is the 'Lunch committee. While council had no problem writing letters of sup- port fur the Zurich and South kluron doctor recruitment committees, the decision un whether to donate funds to $ the Zurich committee was euniroversiul Ina (ether (runt, committee member Steve Hate er. the -committee requested a grant of $2,0(0 to cover the $800rcharge to become an incorporated non-profit or- gatitzauun and to help cover other expenses. Once the committee is officially incorporated n can begin fund- raising. Clausius said the connnrtter should know in six to eight -weeks whether 'Zurich will be granted un- - derserviced status. Cuun. Marg • Hulloes wondered Why the committee hasn't yet approached Hay Township, the Chambe► of Commerce and Blue Water Rest Humc for financial 'support - Clausius responded that the Chamber has dune all -of the "leg work" for the committee so far and suggested it is councils responsibility to help the committee "What have we put lurward tri this. so far Y' Noth- ing." Clausius said He also said the village has inure to gain frons the re- cruitment eunutuuee's than do Hay Township. the Chamber and Blue Water Clausius told council the recruitment has a tuugh struggle ahead to attract doctors to Zurich. "It s not easy because these doctors really dun't want to cunle out here." he said..He also explained that other medically undcrservtced areas such as Kitchener - Waterloo and Windsor have much greater resources to use to attract doctors to their municipalities. An original suggestion by council to only give the committee the 5800 grant was rebuffed by Clausius. who said S800 is only "a drop in the bucket" for what tfrc committee needs. although he added. "but we're sure not going to look $800 in the mouth." Council eventually agreed to grant the committee S80O with an interest-free loan fur S 4000 with the rec- ommendation that the committee approach other groups tat money. Council has given the committee one year to repay the loan. 1 tile. `Tn: ants -ratites shot-, (1' . at tine UDS:, 111 Huron -County. t, maltuatmrk utlucr the Clntano.}leuhh Protecucn. and Pramual.
