In January of 1985 the superintendent's salary will increase to $6,000 above the maximum principal's salary. The superintendent of business and finance will have his present salary of $43,400 increased by 4.9 per cent to $45,465 which is $3,665 below the maximum prin- cipal's salary. In January of 1985, the superintendent's salary increases to $1,600 below the maximum principal's salary and in January of 1986, the salary increases to $500 above the maximum principals' salary. The salary increases for these positions are subject to the Ontario Restraint Act and could be rolled back. 1►�e co-ordtnawr ut maintenance will have his salary increased by about 4.5 per cent, from $24,600 to $25,700. The salary for this position is $7,500 above the full-time custodial rate. The secretarial staff at the board office received a five percent increase, bringing the salaries up from $15,815 to $16,615. All salaries were dealt with in committee - of -the -whole, but trustees discussed the director's salary in the open portion of the meeting. Chairman Ronald 'Murray asked where the personnel committee got the $10,000 and $11,000 (above the maximum principals° salary) from. "I get the impression that the committee is trying to bridge the disparity between our local director's salary and similar positions in other counties," commented Stratford trustee John Devlin. "Our ability to pay comes in, doesn't it?" queried the chairman. Trustee Ronald Marcy of Stratford noted that the difference between a five per cent increase and a 6.5 per -cent increase (which the director received) is about $700. "I.noticed that the trustees conference ac- count is $2,700 over budget," stated Mr. Marcy. A recorded vote was taken to approve the, director's salary. Those in favor were Vincent McInnes, Arthur Haid, Michael Moriarty, William Kinahan, Ron Marcy, Dave Durand, John Devlin and Michael Ryan. Those opposed were Ray Van Vliet, Tim McDonnell, Ron Murray, Louis Maloney and Gerald Groothius. Trustee Ernie Vanderschot was absent. Councillors concerned over planned bicentennial project Huron County council is proceeding cautiously in its plans to prepare an historical atlas as its bi-centennial project. Considerable discussion by councillors at the Dec. 1 meeting of county council resulted in guidelines for the proposed atlas being referred back to the library board for further information. The library board's initial guidelines call- ed for the project to be sponsored by county council in co-operation with the library board and that a committee made up of chief librarian Bill Partridge and two coun- cillors to recommend the appointment of an editor to oversee the publication's progress. But it wasn't these guidelines that bothered many councillors. It was the March 15 deadline for copy and the $35 fee for listing in the patron's directory that bothered enough councillors to have the whole matter referred back. Exeter deputy -reeve Lossy Fuller said the size of the atlas has to be controlled and she isn't in favor of the patron's directory because of the $35 fee that is proposed to be paid for listing in such a directory. "That's not what an atlas is to me," com- mented Fuller in regards to the patron's directory. She was also concerned that although there was a patron's directory accom- modated in the 1879 county atlas, a 1984 atlas containing a patron's directory would become too large. Mr. Partridge said today's population in the county is similar to the 1879 population figures. He added that the patron's direc- tory would be done in smaller type and that a similar atlas done last year in Perth Coun- ty had a four-page patron's directory made up of 400 names. Stanley Township Reeve Paul Steckle said he wants to see a "number one atlas" as the final product and didn't think there is any rush to complete such a project. . Mr. Partridge told council that to be eligi- ble for bi-centennial grants the project has to be completed in 1984. The chief librarian also noted that the atlas will not contain in- formation on the past rather there will be present information, information about Huron County in 1984 that will be historical in the future. Library board chairman Bill Elston said he appreciated the discussion by county council which would provide the board with further direction to bring back revised guidelines. He admitted that as such a pro- ject had never been undertaken by the coun- ty before the library wasn't exactly sure how to proceed. "We thought that we'd like to get the atlas to press by July and August but we can put the March deadline back to June, but we won't have the atlas until December," said Mr. Elston. Consulting firm hired to conduct energy study on Huron County The ways and means of conserving energy in Huron County will be closely scrutinized during the next few months. Huron County council at its Dec. 1 meeting approved hiring the firm of Mark Dorfman Planner Inc., of Waterloo to carry out an energy study on Huron at a cost of $29,915 in a 17 to 11 recorded vote. County planning director Gary Davidson said the consulting firm will consider Huron's official plan and how it relates to energy conservation practices. From there the consultants will identify energy con- servation methods then narrow them down to what is practical for Huron County. The last task is to determine what is acceptable in the county as a conservation method. The exact format of the study has not yet been worked out said Mr. Davidson, but he expects meetings with municipal represen- tatives and the farm community will be held over the next few months. The study is ex- pected to be finished by the end of April with a report to be presented to county council. Exeter Reeve Bill Mickle asked the plan- ner if the aim of the study is to regulate, through the official plan and zoning bylaws, new development. The reeve was concerned that regulations would prohibit certain types of development which would result in an individual municipality and the county to lose the potential benefit of another in- dustry. Mr. Davidson repeatedly emphasized that no, the purpose of the study isn't to regulate future or existing development. The purpose of the study, said the planner, is to have educational information available that will promote energy conservation. As an example, Davidson said anyone, from the present homeowner planning to renovate to industries considering locating in the county, could be shown how to save money on a long term basis by adding con- servation techniques to a structure under construction. A lot of the information from the study will be aimed at building inspectors and con- struction companies said Mr. Davidson and they in turn could pass the information on to individuals or companies planning to build. The planning director added that the new Planning Act requires municipalities to have energy policies in their official plans. He noted too, that now the province is pro- viding funding for such studies. The entire energy conservation program for the county will involve more than the consulting firm's study. The entire cost is more in the neighborhood of $50,000. The province, through the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing will be pick- ing up 75 per cent of the cost up to a max- imum of $35,000. Mr. Davidson said that would cover the cost of the actual study, with the remaining $5,000 to pay part of the estimated $20,000 to be spent in planning staff time. Those voting in favor of the study were: Grey Reeve Leona Armstrong, Ashfield Reeve John Austin, Goderich Deputy Reeve James Britnell, Seaforth Reeve Williatn Campbell, Exeter Deputy Reeve Lossy Fuller, Bayfield Reeve David Johnston, Col- borne Reeve Russel Kernighan, Wingham Reeve Joe Kerr, Hensall Reeve Harry Klungel, Exeter Reeve Bill Mickle, Usborne Reeve Gerry Prout, Goderich Township Reeve Grant Stirling, Zurich Reeve Don Van Patter, Stephen Reeve Alan Wolper, Stephen Deputy Reeve Ralph Weber, and Goderich Reeve Harry Worsell with two votes. Those voting against the study Were: Hay Deputy Reeve Tony Bedard, Tuckersmith Reeve Robert Be11, Blyth Reeve Tom Cronin, Hulled Reeve Tom Cunningham, Morris Reeve Bill Elston, McKillop Reeve Marie Hicknell, Turnberry Reeve Brian McBurney, Howick Reeve Jack Stafford, Stanley Reeve Paul Steckle, East Wawanosh Reeve Neil Vincent, and Hay Reeve Lionel Wilder. Absent during the voting were West Wawanosh Reeve James Aitchison, Clinton Reeve Ernest Brown and Brussels Reeve Calvin Kreuter.
