Home My WebLink AboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1978-12-14, Page 2424- ODERICHSIGNAL-STAR, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1978 Frayne toid the board that because the board normally spends at least the amount generated by the $6 per pupil formula it really was looking at raising $75,000 over' and above normal ex- penses. He added that the expense was not frivilous but was in fact a necessity. "To my way of thinking four schools have vocational training and are loaded right to the 'ears and there are other .courses being used a lot less," said Frayne. "In the future the board could consider having courses like Latin or Spanish at Seaforth where they don't have vocational training and having vocational courses at other schools. I don't see how a taxpayer in this county can object to this board spending $75,000 in school so a teacher can teach." The separate school trustee added that he "can't see spending money for a teacher to stand up in front of a classroom with nothing to teach with". John Henderson said the committee wanted it clear that the recommendation it was giving the board's budget committee was not to be changed without board approval. He said a similar recommendation was made last year ,and the budget committee threw it out because money was not available. He said this year if money is tight the committee wanted the matter brought back to the board before any changes are made in the equipment replacement prgram. Goderich trustee Dave Gower, a new trustee, asked if the board's sanctioning of the com- mittee report meant that the expense automatically went into the budget. He said that he appreciated the problem but pointed out that many items of a similar nature would Equipment priority.. • from page 1 1979 that another serious problem exists in another subject are and will not be able to deal with the situation because of financial restrictions. "I agree with the recommendation but I sometimes wonder if we're not making a mistake pouring all this money into all the schools," said Zurich trustee Herb Turkheim. He added that the board .could take a look at the problem and consider concentrating its efforts on Clinton and Wingham. He said the other shops may be closed allowing the board to "do a better job than it is now" by putting that much more in the two schools. The committee wanted the board to recommend to the budget committee that $6 per pupil be set aside in 1979 to purchase replacement equipment and that the money be allocated by principals in each school. It also recommended that $50,000 be alloted for repair, replacement or additional vocational (technical, commercial, family studies ;and music) equipment in 1979 and that tan additional $25,000 be set aside for purchase of equipment in non -vocational areas. The committee wanted vocational equipment . to include audio visual equipment, furniture, offices, physical education, science and other areas and also wanted the board to meet its high school principals in the future to discuss budget concerns. The recommendations would require a total expense of $102,600. Of that $27,600 would be generated by the $6 per pupil formula and the remaining $75,000 would be earmarked by the board. Committee members, Marion Zinn of Ash- field township; Eugene Frayne, separate school trustee; John Henderson of Seaforth and Dorothy. Williams of Clinton, reminded the board that in 1978, $27,357 was budgeted for capitalexpenditure and $30,790 in 1977. It added that the $102,600 expense was $35,700 less than the total value of equipment needed to be replaced or repaired. Council Brief There are three continuous -use fire permits in effect in Goderich, and according to Larry McCabe, clerk -treasurer, such permits are not covered in the town's bylaws and should be revoked immediately. The whole matter of continuous use permits came to council's attention when photographer Stan Hadden asked to have his continuous -use burning permit renewed earlier this fall. Council members were not informed exactly where the three permits were in effect - Windosr Salt and Goderich Elevators were two names Mentioned by town bylaw officer Dick. Eisler - but the whole .matter is referred to the fife committee for review. "We have revoked one continuous -use per- mit," remarked Councillor Stan Profit. "We should be consistent." +++ .b Goderich Recreation Director Mike Dymond filed his final report with town council Monday evening...and sent his apologies for not attending in person. "Many personal commitments have come up for this last week that cannot be attended to during the day," wrote Dymond. Dymond did hint that if money can be found in the budget, the rec board may wish to build a larger concession booth at the arena and relocating the office and adding a sound room above the tractor area. +++ A request from the Public Utilities Com- mission to increase the salaries paid to com- missioners wasn't handled at Monday evening's committee meeting of town council. Reeve Eileen Palmer and .Councillor John Doherty introduced the motion that tabled that discussion until council's salaries are reviewed. ++ Town council:did decide Monday evening at its regular committee meeting to make formal application to the Ministry of the Environment to have a consultant prepare a design report for the expansion at the water plant. "Expansion at the water plant will be a necessity," said Reeve Eileen Palmer, "and it° may take up to six or eight months to get an answer from the Ministry of the Environment."

He said he could support the recommendations if they were just given priority but he could not support them if a final decision was being made. now. ° John Cochrane, director of education, ex- plained to Gower that last year a similar request was given the budget committee and that committee "in its wisdom or whatever" changed the amount in the recommendation. He said this year the committee wants the recommendation to`stand if possible and if that is not possible it wants the budget committee to come back to the board with any changes. He said the recommendation is "not carved in stone" but means that any changes will be made by the whole board. Exeter trustee Clarence McDonald told the board that he couldn't see where the money was coming from. He said he felt the budget com- mittee would have to "sharpen its pencil" without -this kind of problem.., He said he didn't think the board could tell the budget committee it had to work this kind of expense into the budget adding that the board may have to look at amalgarpating courses. Frayne said that today nearly all the courses taught in the schools are used by the students but added that it "wasn't important whether students put the knowledge into a trade." "What's important to me is the fact that they can use it," he said. He added that the principals knew that they were not going to get everything they asked for but told the board that "it couldn't go on forever just putting it off." Standing room only One of the few times that county council draws a crowd in Huron County is at its inaugural session when the warden is elected. Tuesday's inaugural session of the 1979-80 council was no ex- ception as spectators filled the rear of county council chambers and spilled out into the 'hall in front of the chambers. The gathering witnessed Jack Tinney., reeve of Hay township, receive th, warden's chain of office after he was acclaimed to the post.
