Deputy Reeve Grant Sterling, and councillors Sake Reder and Garnet Wright" about the possibilities of hiring at building inspector to cover both municipalities. Last ,nth,, 'Clinton's inspector Jean Rath had resigned,. and Clinton had approached the surrounding townships about having area building inspection. Hutlett. Tuckersmith and Stanley had turned down the idea, and only Goderich Township wanted to discuss the matter. Reeve Ginn. who had headed, a committee three years ago to put building inspection on a county wide basis, said he felt that just Clinton and his township couldn't afford a building inspector between the two of them, but if more municipalities came in. the project might be feasible. *40 Clinton council three years ago had• opposed the county inspector. but now agreed it was a good idea, especially in light of the new tougher and more complicated Ontario Building Code. which came into effect in January of' this year. Several representatives of Goderich township and Clinton were appointed to look into the matter further, and they will see how other towns and cities run their inspections. Presently, only Goderich and Exeter have building inspectors. •- Council also received.- .a 20 -name petition from residents of the Orange• and Rattenbury Street area, aski0 council for a four-way stop sign at tie corner.

Council also decided to apply for Municipal Incentives Grants which could mean up to SLOW per house for every medium, density unit built. However, complete details were not available to council yet from the ministry of housing. Because the regular recreation committee meeting scheduled for the same night was cancelled because only the secretary and one member showed up. council was forced to deal with two delegations who had come to the rec meeting.

"we have given the authority to the recreation committee to deal with these things. so we shouldn't go above their heads."
