(photo by Patrick Rallis) County receives six per cent in. budget increase • from page I eluded in the hospital reserve fund for the Seaforth Public Hospital. The grant will be set aside for each of the, next four years with the last two years provisional on the approval of 'the new council. Council itself was subject to a budget cut • with the overall •committee pay for coup- cillors reduced by $4,880. According to Warden Brian McBurney, the reduction in committee pa34 was possible by making a clearer distinction between committee pay • for a hall day or a' whole day. A full day. pay is now.defined as three hours or more of meeting time. Stanley Township Reeve Clarence. Rau said a number 'of the committees start-' anywhere between 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and, after lunch, meet for 'another hour and consider it a full day meeting. He recommended that, with a bit of effort on .the_.,part3f the committee members, he said the meeting could start earlier and be . classified as half day meetings. • "There's no reason why meetings can't start at 9:a.m., end at 12'or 12:30 p.rn., and be considered a half day meeting," he said. Goderich Reeve Harry Worsell said he,: because he lives in town, could be at the committee meetings by 0.am., but he said other council members in the country would have a difficult.time arriving at the • early morning meetings on time. I, don't know how •you can cut ,(the meetings) down," he said. Mr. Rau said a number of farmersliave now turned to cash cropping which has cut back on. the amount of time required to work in the mornings. A number of 'councillors brought up the suggestion of having evening meetings. Zurich Reeve Robert Fisher suggested that evening meetings said a number of people in his municipality would be more willing to run for reeve if the meeting were in the evenings. . "I believe a lot of thought should be given to night rbeetings," he said. Tuckersmith Reeve Bob Bell said the decision on whether to move to night meetings should be left up to the executive' committee. However, he didn't support night meetings as he •felt it would not only be a long day for councillors, but for coun- ty staff. . A sore spot in the budget was the inclu- sion of the 30,000 county share for a $60,000 Waste Management Study in the county with the provincial picking up $30,000 of the total.

' • "The municipalities' could supply this in-, formation to the county and it' could save us a lot of money,"•he said.. ••• He also stressed that the county coun- • cillors should have a clear understanding of the situation, as the Municipal Act cur rently states that regional . and govern-, ments do not have the.authnrity to initiate ivastc Management -Studies. , Our particular. position, unless the Act has been changed in the last month or two, we don"t have the authority," he said, ad- ding that the 'county should be on solid ground before budgetting the money. Bayfield Reeve Dave Johnston, who is a • member of -the Waste manaWe?MiTt om- mittee,.said in a meeting ,With the Minister . of the Environment last year, the minister granted a waiver allowing the county to go ahead wi h the waste management study. HuM Township Reeve • Torn Cunn- ingham said that although he is not -in favor of the study, the decision was made last fall to gd ahead with the study last fall. He said it was time to end the discussion on the project and "get on with it". • The road budget, which allowed $300,000 for re- surfacing roads in•the county, was under scrutiny by Exeter Deputy Reeve, Lossy Fuller pho questions why budget cuts could not be made in his area. Colborne Reeve Plisse Kernighan said the Road Depart, ,t has fallen behind in its road re -surfacing and it has come to a point were if some roads aren't re- surfaced this year, they will have to be completely re -constructed. ., "To ',deviate from the road re -surfacing ^M program would put us at risk," he said. Hullett Reeve concurred with Mr. Ker- nighan saying that the county would be hurt financially in the long run by not re- surfacing some roads this year. In other budget cuts, the computer capital fund for an update of a computer terminal was cut by $5,000; the paving of the • library building parking lots was reduced by $4,000; Educational grants were rediiced by $6,000, the Children's Aid Society was reduced by $6,604; Patriotic grants were reduced by $1,500; Agricultural grants were reduced by $1,000 . and the Emergency Planning grant was reduced by $5,000.

HUMAN LIVES RECLAIMED Although he agreed council and citizens have legitimate concerns about security at Bluewater, •DeGrandis warned campaigns to turn the the centre into a, fortress, "which gives people no hope" are not the answer. "Remember, there are human lives be- ing reclaimed there every day. It's almost paradoxal that some of c,ur programs have been • so 'successful, with some of the human tragedy that's there. It isn't an in- stitition that should' be thought of in entire- ' ly negative terms. , There are human be- ings out -there and they are being helped." he said. Deputy Reeve Doherty, who has had an opportunity to tour the facility, indicated he felt it was possible to go too far in the opposite direction as well. '•I tell you, if 1' was a teenager with nothing to do, I'd much rather break into that place, than break out," Doherty stated. Following the discussion, council agreed to accept an invitation to blur the centre and discuss security procedures in more detail. ii.ecreation Board will meet at 7:30 p.m, on Thursday,.
