An association between the agency°and the municipal group which has existed for over 73 years was severed by the province effective the begining of 1985. Deputy clerk -treasurer Bill Alcock said all 'the records of the Family and Children's Services, formerly known as. the Children's Aid Society, are looked after by the county clerk -treasurer's office. This is the same procedure used for the Huron County Health Unit, the county library and other county departments. The county charged a nominal fee, as it does to all these departments for maintain- ing the books. However, Mr. Alcock said no other Children's Aid Society in the province has a similar arrangement with a municipali- ty. The deputy clerk -treasurer said the county looked after the agency's payroll and accounts. Now that task is handled by the agency's director John Penn and its business manager. • Mr. Alcock said there was a meeting with former community 'and social ser- vices minister Frank Drea but nothing was accomplished. "Council's feeling was that the two (Mr. Drea and the ministry's deputy minister) were siding with the regional program supervisor," said Mr. Alcock. The .regional program supervisor Mark Roberts was "adamant" about having the records removed from the county office said Mr. Alcock. Huron County pays 20 per cent of the Family. and Children's Services budget. Of an approximate 1984 budget of about $1 million, the province paid $800,000 and the county paid $200,000. The deputy clerk -treasurer said council has and will continue to have four representatives to the agency's board of '' directors. This year, those members are Warden Paul Steckle, Exeter deputy -reeve Lossy Fuller, .Zurich reeve Isadore LaPorte and Hay deputy reeve Tony Bedard. Also Mr. Alcock said that he personally was elected as a member -at -large to serve on the board of directors. He served as secretary -treasurer since he was first elected in 1975. He said he chose not to be the secretary - treasurer this year and was not re-elected to the board. Mr. Alcock said it was handy tohave the records at the county office, but he was not representing the county while Family and Children Services secretary -treasurer. It's upsetting to have the long-time close relationship severed said Mr. Alcock.
