Zurich Citizens News, 1975-03-06, Page 5THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1975 ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS Library headquarters unchanged (by Shirley J Keller), , Twenty-three members of Huron County Council voted against signing a new lease for library headquarters facilities in Goderich, but 30 affirmative votes were cast to permit the building on Lighthouse Street to remain in county service until at least January 1, 1977. The debate arose when the county library board asked council to approve a new lease with the owners of the building. According to board members, the building has changed hands and new tenants have shown interest in the building. While the county lease does not expire until June 1, 1976, the new owners were willing to negotiate a new lease with the county at this time. The five year lease will increase the rent to the county to $4.85 per square foot or $810 per month with a yearly adjustment up or clown for taxes and utilities based on the actual costs for 1974. The county can terminate the lease withone year's notice, any time after January 1, 1977. The board members explain- ed that if the new lease had not been negotiated until the present lease expired next sum- mer, the odds are that a lease at that time would be much more expensive than $4.85 per square foot. Theory, was, according to chairman Norman Durst, to lose a little now but gain a substant- ial amount later. Discussion showed that not all members of.council were conv- inced the economy would remain that buoyant for that length of time. Reeve Ed Oddleifson of Bayfield said he was "darn sure" the county would not have to pay as much for library facilities even in the present building, in 1976. "Maybe we want to be Santa Clause, " quipped Oddleifson who warned against "presuming" the economy would remain stable. He said he felt the country is definitely in a recess- ion and headed for a depression. "The present lease should be honored, " reeve Oddleifson said. Deputy -reeve Frank Cook, a longtime advocate of decentral- ization of county offices, drew council's attention once more to the fact that a building is available at Vanastra which would adequately house the lib- rary headquarters. Library head William Partridge was present and commented that the library staff makes regular use of court house equipment and facilities. "We like to be close to the About people you know!

Everybody likes to be close to the court bnuse." stated Mr. Cook. "Let's change it a little. Why does everything 'have to be in Goderich?" Reeve Oddleifson concurred. He said that with proper plannin and a courier system, library headquarters at Clinton could still make use of court house equipment and facilities. PAGE 5 "You don't have to be just across the street from the court house to make use of equipment 'here, " said Reeve Oddleifson. Deputy -reeve Frank Cook called for a recorded vote which resulted in a 30-23 tally in favor of signing the new lease for present library facilit- ies. During the debate, however, it was evident that county off- icials are considering a new county building to house the library as well as other county departments. It was pointed out such a building would take several years.to plan with con- struction not possible much before 1977.
