The council will undergo a number of changes due to the retirement announcement by Reeve Everett Mcllwain, Mr, Mcllwain will not be seeking another term as Reeve, ending a - public.,career in Goderich .Township that has spanned the last 15 years. The issues having.' ehe most effect on the municipal elec- tions are the secondary plan and zoning by-law that the council began working on over the past year and the com- munication problem brought about by the plaza problem bet- ween the town and township of Goderich. seek re-election The second most pressing thing the township has to deal with is the' secondary plan, ac- cording to Mr, Horner. He feels the project will be very time consuming, nine months to a year, but will afford the council more organized and stringent control over land use and will prevent further occurrence of problems such as • the plazas have created. .4 GERRY GINN Gerry Ginn has sat on the Township Cou"ncil for • the past four years as deputy -reeve and has decided to seek the position vacated by Everett Mcllwain. Politics at .the county level is an enjoyable and enlightening experience for Mr. Ginn. "Huro'h County is just star- ting to develop and I enjoy knowing about and -being, in- volved with the development," he said. The plaza "problem' is the main issue in the December- 2 . election according to the deputy -reeve. He feels • the problem is not the plaza but the lack ofsornmunicatijon between. Goderich and the township that the plaza problem has revealed. The secondary •plan and zoning bylaw that the council recently instigated is very im- portant to Mr. Ginn. He regards the plan as 'a method of maintaining and controlling ur- °• ban development on throe town- ship borders and feels it is in the best' interest of the. residents of the township. A public servant for the past �l0 years Mr. Ginn was put in office by acclamation.- He is hopeful of an election for the position of reeve which he. feels would indicate `'the voters proving they wanted him in of- ° fice. EVERETT MCILWAIN Fifteen years as a public ser- vant in Goderich Township, four " as councillor, five as deputy -reeve and six as reeve, are enough for Ev eet Mcllwain.. p Mr. Mcllwain has decided not to stand for the position of Reeve of Goderich Township. He s leaves politics at a time he ,regards as very important to the municipality. The . secondary plan and zoning bylaw is critical to the township now according to Mr. Mcllwain, due to the pressures for urban development placed On them „ by the neighboring towns. , He feels that the excellent soil and scenic beauty of the area must be protected by an organized land use plan. The highlight of his political career, he claims, the plan will have the greatest and farthest reaching implications on the residents and landowners of Goderich Township and he feels public involvement in the project is essential. ",I believe the residents of the township shouldhave the op- portunity to participate in the plan's preparation and I, my council, and the County Plan- ners want to hear the public's viewpoints in the: glanning workshops we have organized", he said. A love for:„, his home inspired the Reeve to support the secon- dary plan. "We have much to be proud of in our township and we must strive to ensure that the quality of our environment is preserved and enhanced its the future,” he said. JACOB REDER Councillor Jacob Reder will seek another "term as senior councillor for Goderich Town - 'ship,. He feels the issues at stake are the plaza problem and the secondary plan and regards himself committed to both. Acclaimed to the position two years ago-, Mr. Reder has served four years on the council .and has voiced satisfaction, with the efforts of the municipal government claiming they did a pretty good job of running the township. •The future of the township is important to Mr. Reder who feels that progress is rapid in the rural municipality. He ex- pressed a need for more recreation services for the residents of the township and he acknowledges the impor- tance of the recently formed recreation committee. 9 • as an important issue to solve but claimed it did not affect his decision to run again. The secondary plan put into motion recently by the township is also an important issue. to Mr. Wright and he expressed a desire t� see it advanced fur- ther. Acclaimed, to the post two Years ago Councillor Wright.in- dicated that one of the highlights of his term on coun- cil was the establishment of a ' fire area with the town of Clin- ton. The agreement involved Clinton, Hullet and 'fucker;, smith Townships and parts of . Stanley Township and affords the remote residents of the areas= 'greater protection from fire damage. WAYNE HORNER Councillor Wayne Horner has decided to take the, same option as Gerry, Ginn and take a step up in his political career`. Mr. Horner intends to stand for deputy -reeve, the post held 'by, Mr.. Ginn for the past four years. The problems created by plaza developments are very important ' to Mr. Horner ,and he has stated his intention to 'see them through to their' solution.
