Harburn running
By Pat Bolen
TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
ZURICH — Steve
Harburn of Zurich has
declared his intention to
run for the position of
Zurich ward
councillor in the
upcoming munic-
ipal election.
Harburn was
defeated in the
2003 municipal
election while
running for the
position of coun-
cillor -at -large.
The four-year
term was a posi-
tive change
according to Harburn,
who said it allows more
time to make decisions
and see progress on items
such as capital projects.
Harburn was a forestry
technician for 12 years
before starting his own
forestry consultant busi-
ness from his home four
years ago.
One of the priorities for
Harburn if elected will be
to increase small business
opportunities in the
municipality.
"I feel that we don't real-
ly have enough employ-
ment for our youth and I'd
like to see my kids stay in
the municipality if possi-
ble.”
Harburn says there
should be more training
for young people as well as
incentives for businesses
to get them started.
"Maybe not over the
longer term, but initially to
get them interested....l
think we have a lot of
skilled labour here, I just
don't think we have a lot
of opportunity."
Another issue for
Harburn is the amount of
truck traffic through
Zurich.
"There seems to be a lot
of speeding traffic, (and)
the heavy trucks going
through day and night. I
think that is going to
increase over the next few
years.
Harburn said he
would like to see a
safety zone in the
community with
increased fines and
more enforcement.
Harburn said he
also feels he has a
fiscal responsibility
to taxpayers as
e well.
urn With his back-
ground as a
Knights of Columbus trea-
surer for 10 years,
Harburn says he will try
and hold council responsi-
ble on fiscal management
and capital projects.
"Financially I think we're
fairly sound but I'd like to
see that continue. Harburn
added the pressure on
municipalities will contin-
ue to increase in the next
four to eight years.
One issue Harburn said
needs to be addressed in
the next term is the Zurich
lagoons.
"It's right to capacity and
is going to be a big cost. If
we can get some provin-
cial dollars for that it
would definitely save our
tax base here.
"We have to base every-
thing as a community of
Bluewater, we can't really
just focus on Zurich itself. I
think that's what the prob-
lem was the last few terms
of council Each councillor
been working on his own
for each ward. I think we
have to work as a collec-
tive group or we're not
going to have a municipal-
ity."
