GODERICH SIGNAI,rSTAR, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY PAY 9,1983r--P4GE 3 County sham budget decreases By Stephanie Levesque Huron County's share of the proposed 1983 budget of the planning and develop- ment department is down over $10,000 from last year. Council approved the budget at its February 3 ses- sion. All budgets are subject to review when county coun- cil reviews all the depart- ment budgets to make one budget. The total 1983 budget for, the planning and develop- ment department is $340,227. In 1982, the two departments were separate but had a combined total of $323,054. To make up the difference after deducting the county's share, increased revenue is expected from community planning study grants ($35,400 in '1983 • up from $27,000 in 1982) and monies will be taken from the county's reserve fund, in the amount of $20,000. Salaries make up the largest portion of the expen- ditures at $160,579. This marks a reduction from the combined 1982 budgets of the planning and development, but planner Gary Davidson noted the decrease is because the county does not have to pay the salary of a full-time development of- ficer. The major increase in the budget is in production costs. The proposed 1983 costs are $62'250, up from '$25,000= m. 1982. Mr. Davidson noted these costs include produc- ing maps, plans and zoning bylaws. He added that the costs of the county's printing office are included. He assured council that what can be done by the county is done there, while such things as maps larger than eight by 14 inches, color work, work involving photographs, off- set pressing and work for large scale distribution on newsprint has to be done elsewhere. Business development and transportation represents another large .portion of the budget at $39,000, down from the 1982 budgllt figure of $42,800. This citegory en- compasses travel for plann- ing projects in• the county and travel for development. In 1983, the planning and development department will be working on planning projects in 16 municipalities. Five of these, in the municipalities of Colborne; Grey, Tuckersanith, Usborne and the Town of Goderich are expected to be com- pleted this year. Seven plan- ning projects will be started this year and four are on- going. Other on-going projects at the county level include: lakeshore . management plans in 'conjuction with Maitland ` Valley Con- servation Authority and the ministry . of natural resources, a rural energy study in co-operation with the ministries of municipal affairs and housing and energy, preparing an economic development strategy •for the county, developing a county adver- tising program, reviewing the Planning Act and up- dating background informa- tion booklets.

Of the amount, $168;004. is to be used for road con- struction and the remaining $184,000 for maintenance. Commissioner of Works Ken Hunter informed council that the amount represents an increase of eight or nine per cent over the amount received last year.
