News of the statement's circulation was announced to Huron County Council at its regular June meeting during presentation of a report from the board of health by the chairman, Goderich Township Reeve Grant Stirling. The statement is the result of a brief presented to the board at its April meeting by a group of health unit employees. The brief outlined five problem areas, but all of these were related directly to staff morale. Little positive reinforcement of staff from the board, no direct communication on board decisions, and the lack of written policies and procedures manual for health unit employees are three problem areas cited in the brief. At its May 13 meeting, council was told, the board discussed the staff report during an "in camera" portion of the meeting. Following that session the board passed a resolution calling for the circulation of the statement. In addition to its declaration of con- fidence in the department heads and health unit staff, the statement also in- structs all department heads to "carry the conerns of the staff to the board and the board's concerns to the staff and work toward keeping the lines of communica- tion open at all times." Department heads are also directed to ensure that copies of the approved board minutes are posted on bulletin boards at each of the health unit's branch offices. County employment is on the rise Employment in Huron County appears to be on the rise, Social Services Ad- ministrator J.A. MacKinnon told Huron County Council at its regular June meeting. Because of this, there are Tess than 15 employable people on the county's welfare rolls at present. McKinnon made these remarks while commenting on the report of the social ser- vices committee to council by Morris Township Reeve D.C. Fraser. Hay Township Reeve Lionel Wilder questioned the granting of welfare assistance to employable people at all if the employment situation is as good as McKinnon claimed. Wilder said he did not understand why employable men received welfare while he knew of farmers who need men to help work in their fields. Mr. McKinnon explained that the county has two categories of welfare recipients, employable and non -employable. In the case of the 15 he had mentioned earlier, he said that although they fell under the category of being employable, "they are in the grey area between the categories - sort of borderline employable." The social services administrator acknowledged that it is not a perfect system since not everyone wants to work. However, it is difficult to deny assistance to others in the family because the head of the household does not want to work. Statistics included in the committee's report indicate a 1987 general assistance caseload of 122 of April 30, compared to 153 for the same period last year. Bayfield BIA gets go ahead.. • from page 1 vote was taken after Gayle Gundy, representing the BIA steering committee, requested the council move. The motion received unamimous approval. Early this spring council members wanted further study on the BIA concept before they would approve it. There was some concern that only a small portion of Bayfield businesses were being considered for this concept. Main Street businesses originated the BIA idea with the plans that those businesses located outside of the designated area could be considered "Friends of the BIA". Council, concerned that a division in the business community could result from the separation brought about by a BIA, called a public meeting. Fifty-eight inviations to the June 12 meeting were hand delivered to businesses in the municipality. Only a small percen- tage of those attended the evening meeting. Staisfied that each business owner in Bayfield has had the opportunity to speak to the BIA proposal, council has agreed to take the next step in the formation of such an organization. The proposed BIA district will include Main Street businesses from The Albion Hotel to The New Ritz, from The Little Inn to May's Decorating. At its July 6 meeting, council hopes to pass a BIA bylaw which will call for the for- mation of the group. After its approval at council level, the bylaw will be circulated to businesses in the proposed area. Businesses have a 60 day appeal period in which to make any objections or pose queries. If no objections are raised, Bayfield may have its first BIA as early as September.
