County Council is certainly no
'epic, but' fur this year at "least
t -re Will be no picnic either ir
s uses or families.
The longest' debate of cotmcil'S
regular February session focused on
th issue of whether or not to con-
dnue the annual Warden's picnic for
councillors, past councillors, and
their families.
By a one -vote margin, it was
decid- discl.ntinue the annu I
event.
li ts report to council, the
executive coMmitt recommended
the annual Warden's Golf Day be
continued and expanded to include
spouses and companions, and the

Mzs.Arsmtrong suggested that
even though council decided to
- discontinue the picnic -for -this year;
perhaps it -still could bring the event
back another year.
Hullett Township Warden Tom
Cunningham also argued that
dropping the picnic would be a
mistake. He pointed out that not
everyone likes golf and the picnic
included the members of
tmiiies picnic.

frequently told of their constituents'
misunderstanding of the title and
position, especially with so many
former urban residents now living in
rural areas. Wardens complained
that the public thought they enforced
hunting laws or ran a penitentiary.
At the consultation meetings, the
report states, the committee was s
surprised at the almost unanimous
degree of acceptance for changing T
the titles. In fact, there seemed to be g
term does not go beyond the -term
council.
In reaching its conclusion,
committee gave consideration to t
argument that the traditional on
year term for warden is too short f
effective leadership or continuity.
Currently, the position carries
heavy schedule of meetings an
ocial engagements, so that man
wardens consider it a full-thne jo
he remuneration, however,,
generally not what would be ex
pected for a full-time politician,
Critics have also argued that th
Creasing range and 'difficulty o
ounty issues, and the increasin
tins should be acknowledged by
ngerAerm and -greater roleforthe-
arden.
On Composition and represen
tion, the report recommends
ounty council be composed of the
"ads of all local Municipal cotincils,
d a municipality must have at
east 2,500 electors for entitlement to
ditional county council represent-
ves and -or additional votes.
However, another recom-
endation also would allow county
councils to adopt 5,000, 7,500 or 10,000
of electors as the base for entitlement
to a second county council
the
he representative or vote, then using
multiples of this base number to
e- determine entitlement to any ad-
" ditional reiresentation or votes.
The committee believes these
a recommendations provide the
d flexibility for counties to adopt a
Y formula which will best suit their
b. circumstances to give the most
equitable representation and v6ting
power on county council.
Currently in Huron. County, 32
e votes are cast by the 31 councillors
representing the county's 26
g municipalities. The Towns of
Goderich and Exeter have two
a representatives, _althougb-Goderich
is ,allowed three votes. Of the
townships, Hay, Goderich and
Stephen all have two represen-
tatives.
The remaining 13' townships and
three towns have just one
representative, the reeve,
very little sentimental attachment
to the traditional titles.
The report also recommends that: m
