Council says no to C per diem . 1 • 11 Qoderich council will not approve a raise "When you run for office, that's part of 11 in the daily allowance for PUC commis- the job. I'd hate to see a system where you 'J sioners for out of town business from $37.50 only get paid if you're going to lose a'clay of •') work," he said. Though he voted to file the motion to in- crease the allowance and therefore agreed to leave it at $37.50, Coun. Glen Carey said he didn't think the commissioners should even get an out-of-town allowance of 't $37.50. to $50. Under the Municipal Act, council must approve the salaries of PUC commissioners. Coun. Jim Searis said approving the in- creased allowance along with the increas- ed pay for meetings would be giving the PUC -commissioners a greater raise than four per cent, the ceiling on raises for council and the town staff. Searls vas also unconvinced by the com- missioners' argument that the allowance is justified since commissioners lose a day's pay from their jobs when they attend out-of-town meetings. "There are two retired people on the PUC. How can they lose any salary?" he asked. "If we adopt this motion for the PUC, we should adopt it for council too," said Deputy -Reeve John Doherty. "We called a meeting and asked them to discuss the per diem about whether it is part of their salary or not. They asked us for an increase and we sent it back to them and asked them to reconsider," said Coun. John Stringer. Stringer recommended council approve the increase since council has carried out its responsibility by asking the PUC to reconsider the raise. He suggested that PUC commissioners are also responsible to the public for their decision regarding the raise. Dougherty answered that council is also responsible to -the -public to•consider deny– ing the request. "As early as 1977, I've said they should not get a per diem. I've heard eloquent presentations about the great things they've learned by travelling out of town and I don't think it matters what their job is or whether they're retired or not," said Coun Bill_Clifford. A notice that two residents of Ayton are suing the town of Goderieh following an ac- cident at Optimist Park on June 29 has been referred by Goderich council to the town solicitor. Bruce Evan Nunn and Anne Marie Nunn are suing the town after Bruce Nunn claimed he was thrown from a van operated within the Optimist Park. He suf- fered a whiplash injury and neck injury. According to their solicitor, Louks and Garcia, of Hanover, they are claiming in- terest on any amount found owing to them pursuant to the Courts of Justice Act. The inclusion on the Goderich council agenda of thank -you letters to Mayor' Eileen -Palmer and Clerk-Administra4or Larry McCabe from Lawrence Crich was , criticized by Reeve Harry Worsell at coun- cil's July 14 meeting. "Personal thank-yous have no place on the agenda. They sold their land and everything else. If I -got $160,000, I'd be thankful too," he said. The letters expressed appreciation over the "business -like, open, frank and dignified" way negotiations over the pur- chase of 47 acres of land- in- Goderich Township were handled by Palmer and McCabe over the past year.
