Warden McNeil is a resident of Colborne Township as was Dunlop." Judge Carter also predicted that the new Warden would have a busy year in Goderich taking part in activities connected with the County Town's 150 anniversary and with preparations for the International PlowingMatch which is set to be held in Huron in 1978. Retiring Warden Jack McCutcheon noted that in his remarks on taking office last RSDIAY► iArjIUA#t• 24; I9F7x year /he had called forthe highest level .of service at as economical a level, as possible. "`Service, takes money," he noted, "and we always have to stretch our dollars." "I have heard it said that because the province will pay 50 per cent 'we should have it', and that the 'county pays', But who is the county? We are, and if we can remember that things will be better." "We should expand ser- vices," he said,"but only to the limits of what we can tax people for. Mr. McCutcheon also called on the new warden and ,council to preserve the autonomy of Huron. Goderich Mayor Deb Shewfelt welcomed the new council back to Goderich ano McGee issue....... (continued from page 1 for that opinion. One month and one new planning board later no progress has been made. County planner Gary Davidson told the new board he felt it was up to council to initiate any action against IvIcGees and that it was up to council's solicitor to deter- mine if the matter was ac- tionable. He said council could ask the board for an opinion adding he felt the board's involvement was questionable claiming a similar situation at the county level would be handled strictly by county council. - Ptanning board member Ken. McGee said he felt there was no infraction!, being committed by McGee Motors; of which he is an owner. He said "What the board hasn't proved is thatthere is an infraction." He claimed it is only alleged. Mr. McGee was advised by Elsa T-iaydon at the last planning board meeting that because of a conflict of in- terest he wouldhave to remove himself from any discussion on the subject. in other business the board decided to tighten up their procedure _with -regard to requests for zoning changes, approval of subdivisions and similar construction projects by insisting that any ap- plicants coming before the board have all information and details concerning tlr project in the board's hands at least three weeks before the board's next meeting. Tom Jasper said the board should establish a standard procedure for handling people's requests that would . serve to acquaint members with the project as com- pletely as possible. "People who have not gone through the procedure should not be before the board," he said. "We're not an in- formation service." Charles Snell agreed there was a definite need for the format recalling instances in the past when people hart'' met with the board with the soleintention of expediting matters. He said the people have had little or no in- formation concerning their proposal and are merely after a rubber stamp approval. He added the matter is usually delayed an additional month at least so the board can get thew information needed and usually waits'two months for a decision. - Mayor ..• Deb " Shewfelt conceded that some of the information put before the board may be wrong or in- complete but said the business should be handled far more efficiently if it; were handled correctly. He suggested the board ask the. Huron ,County Planning department for a system that could be used to meet the board's needs. Another vacancy now on Clinton town council Clinton Town faces a second vacant council seat with the sudden resignation this week of Councillor Wayne Holtzhauer.
