Zurich Citizens News, 1976-06-30, Page 21Grants to hospitals must be approved by county council As a result of a decision at Huron County Council last Friday, grants to hospitals in Huron undergoing renovation and expansion wil receive up to 25 percent of all provincial ap- proved costs from the ratepayers of Huron County. But tobe eligible for the grants, all hospital building or renovation programs must have the written approval of all hospital boards in the county, and all grants will be approved by county council on the recommendation of the Executive Committee, Administrator Bill 'Han lly said the reasoning behind the motion was to ensure that all hospital boards in the county were agreed on the building priorities. "If the hospital boards can't decide among themselves, then perhaps the county shouldn't be making a donation to that ad- dition," stated Mr. Hanley. "It is a good change," said Doug McNeil, reeve of Colborne Township and chairman of Goderich Alexandra Marine and General Hospital Board. "As I see it today, I'm not disapproving of it at all. But anything can happen, I grant you." Reeve McNeil was referring to a fear expressed by Exeter Reeve Derry Boyle that "hard feelings and difficulties for county council" were ahead because of the added clause in the bylaw. "If we're spending county money, why should the hospital boards have anything to say?" asked Howick Reeve Bob Gibson. "I think it is in order that we put that clause in," commented Reeve Anson McKinley, Stanley Township. "The council of the day can decide on merit if all hospitals aren't in agreement." "In the next two years there might be considerable change in the funding to hospitals," suggested Reeve Ed Oddleifson, Bayfield. In other business left over from last month, council agreed on the school electoral boundaries as set out in May: Stephen, Exeter, Usborne, two representatives; Hay, Zurich, Hensall, one; Stanley and Bayfield, one; Clinton and Tuckersmith, one; Seaforth, McKillop and Hullett, one; Goderich Township and Colborne, one; Goderich,. two; Ashfield and West Wawanosh, one; East Wawanosh, Blyth, Morris, one; Brussels and Grey, one; Wingham, Turnberry and Howick, two. Total 14. Two separate school trustees bring board to total of 16 members.
