law 28-2000 to provide for the management of the
proceeds of the sale of the Exeter Hydro Electric
Utility to Hydro One Networks Inc. and to provide for
the use of the investment income derived from those
proceeds.
The sale proceeds of $3,551,386. were reduced by
expenses and liabilities related to closure. These
amounted to $328,263. and the breakdown is as
follows:
Legal Fees
Liability

Miscellaneous
41,636.

A committee was established to oversee the
Exeter Community Development Fund (ECDF), made
up of two (2) members of council from the Exeter
Ward and one (1) citizen from the Exeter Ward who
review project requests and regulate use of the fund.
Expenditures in the fund are recommended by the
committee and relate to projects that are of
significant benefit to the citizens of the Exeter Ward.
The committee recommendations are ratified by
council of the Corporation of the Municipality of
South Huron. The Treasurer of the Municipality of
South Huron provides financial information to the
ECDF committee. The fund is audited annually and a
financial report is prepared for public information.
This data is found in the Consolidated Financial

As a result of the above project expenditures, the
ECDF balance to date is $1,460,000. The fund incurs
an annual cost related to the ongoing life insurance
for retirees of the H.E.C.
The current storm water management project
being undertaken in the Simcoe St and Huron St
area is estimated to cost $700,000. The Municipality
of South Huron is looking into grant funding to
reduce the cost to the ECDF for this project.
Arrangements for land purchases necessary for this
