More funding
required for
groyne
construction
Additional funding is needed to protect
the groyne constructed this winter during
the first phase of the bluffs erosion control
project.
Mayor Eileen Palmer, Clerk-,
Administrator Larry McCabe, Works
Commissioner Ken Hunter and a represen-
tative from the Maitland Valley Con-
servation Authority will meet with the ap-
propriate ministry about the $100,000 pro-
ject's funding.
' The additional funding Is needed to buy
armor stones to protect the groyne, con-
structed with the material blasted and
dredged from the. Goderich harbor.
Because the dredged material is 30 per
cent rock and 70 per cent sand instead of
the expected large rocks and boulders, the
groyne is in danger of being partially
washed away once the ice melts if•no pro-
tection is provided.
"We have about three weeks until the ice
melts and once that happens, a big storm
could wash away a large , part of the
groyne," says Hunter.,
The parks and waterfront' committee
authorized as much protection as possible
to be done out of the $100,000 budget.
The groyne, which should reclaim five to
10 acres of land along the waterfront, is the
firstpart of the erosion control project.
The second part will involve using a sand -
sucker to suck sand out ofthe channel and
back into the bay south of St. Christopher's
Beach. '
The third part involves repairing the
eroding slopes along the waterfront from
Bingham Drive south to the sewage plant.
Seven landowners whose property touches
or includes the slope have signed an agree-
ment with the town to allow the stabiliza-
•`tion of the slope to begin.
The agreement covers land atthe bot-
tom of the slope, the slope and approx-
imately 10 feet at the -top of the slope at the
westerly edge of the property. It states
that costs of erosion control will be paid by
the town but that the town is not commit-
ted to complete the work and is not liable
for damages or injury arising from the
erosion control work.
The third phase of the project will begin
this summer but could take up to 10 years
to complete, says Hunter.

Huron County's planning and develop-
ment department has approved a budget
of almost half a million dollars for 1986.
County council will have a second
chance to look at the department's
estimates for the year when all depart-
ment budgets are considered in March.
The 1986 planning budget is up 5.28 per
cent from last year.
The planning and development budget of
$490,585 reflectssalary
increases of six per
cent.Salaries
and .benefits, t,
totalling
g
$256,042 make up more than half of • the
planning department budget.
The second major expense of the depart-
ment is production costs. Budgeted at
$69,706 for the year, these costs reflect the
printing of zoning bylaws, official plans
and maps for the municipalities in the
county.
The largest expense is for business
development set at $61,800. Included in this
is the cost of promotional advertising of
the county for economic development and
tourism.

Staff training, equipment and
in-
ternal administrative functions take up the
rest of the budget estimates.
Huron County pays the largest share of
the budget, -however,) estimate of
$368,085 for 1986 reflects' only a four per
cent increase over the county's share last
year.
The planning department will pull
$55,000 out of its reserves to cover the
various projects being worked on this
year. Planning director Dr. Gary David-
son said the reserves are used to balance
the
department's rt

because the r
o-
vince pays 85 per cent of the cst of the
pro-
ject at the beginning, but the project takes
two to four years to complete.
The budget also reflects an anticipated
'revenue increase from consent application
fees. The department expects to get $27,500
from the fees, because it upped the in-
dividual fee from $300 to $500.
Provincial grants and other application
fees account for the rest of the revenue.
Some of the work to be carried out by the
department this year includes 19 zoning
plans at various stages, six official plans
at various stages and preparing an
economic development strategy.
