In a letter received from South Huron chief administrative officer Larry Brown, it was stated negotiations had taken place between several area municipalities in November and December of 2005, but most had declined to take part in the proposal. But Brown stated the town of Goderich and the municipality of South Huron had developed a model for a joint delivery structure that could serve the three municipalities, providing one full-time inspector with part-time chief building offical (CBO) services at each location. The proposal would see one CBO and one administrative staff located at the South Huron municipal office with the estimated annual member municipality cost at $120,000.

Mayor Tom McLaughlin led a discussion on the issue at Lucan Biddulph's brief Feb. 23 meeting. McLaughlin said the heritage committee viewed the drawings for the 3,800 square foot building at a recent meeting and there were two or three corrections needed. McLaughlin told the Times -Advocate Monday he hopes a federal grant will cover about $200,000. The heritage group has raised close to $500,000, with the building costing about $600,000. Including land and furnishings inside, McLaughlin said the final price tag will be about $800,000. Looking forward, McLaughlin said the heritage committee wants to look at different models for the construction of the project, such as whether or not to let tenders for the entire project at the same time. The architecture's drawings include floor plans and exteriors of the building, which will have a two-storey facade to look like the historic Central Hotel. McLaughlin said a letter will be written to Lambton-Kent-Middlesex MP Bev Shipley, filling him in on the project. "It's a good milestone to get the drawings in," McLaughlin said at last week's meeting. It could take about six months to hear if the federal grant will be award - See GENERATOR page 2 LOUISE LOST 22 POUNDS & 30 INCHES! As our clients vary, so do their results.
