South Huron's 2005 salary figures released By Scott Nixon TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF SOUTH HURON — As set out by the Municipal Act, South Huron recently released its 2005 remu- neration figures, expenses and insurance costs for councillors and police ser- vices board members. Councillors are paid by a combination of an annual flat salary as well as pay- ments per meeting attend- ed. Costs also include life insurance and expenses for conferences, meals, traveling and lodges. In 2005, Mayor Rob Morley was paid $22,730.10, while Deputy Mayor Dave Urlin was paid $17,209.43. Urlin was paid an additional $2,923.11 for his role on the police services board. Other figures for council- lors were: George Robertson ($16,306.01), Ken Oke ($15,189.84), Harvey Ratz ($12,610.37), Jim Dietrich ($12,404.58) and Pete Armstrong ($11,556.59). Police services board members Allan Quinn and Elizabeth Bell were paid $2,069.85 and $1,802.50, respectively. Other council notes: EBA budget The Exeter Business Association will have a budget of $48,000 for the year, up from last year's figure of $44,000. The board of manage- ment for the EBA in 2006 includes chairperson Betty Thomson, treasurer James Edlington, secretary Scott Bogart, promotion chair- person Tom Hartai and directors Pete Armstrong, Adrian Bakelaar, Mary Hulley, Shonyn Coward and Sara Wuerth. The association's budget is paid for by the member business owners. Bearss' report South Huron adult activi- ties co-ordinator Jim Bearss made his annual report to council, updating councillors on various pro- jects he has been working on over the year. Bearss said he would like to see either an apart- ment or condo building built for seniors in Exeter. He said many people have told him they would be interested in such a devel- opment in the downtown area. Bearss has become involved with the Huron County Housing Coalition, which holds regular meet- ings and is working on a housing study. In addition to writing a weekly column for the Times -Advocate, Bearss has organized three Adult Trade Fairs in Exeter and is working on a fourth, slated for June 7 at South Huron Rec Centre. Bearss is also working with a group to create employment possibilities for people over 50 years old. He also works with Faye Van Oss of the local Welcome Wagon and pro- vides material for her to give to newcomers to the area. Bearss, who started his volunteer role with the municipality four years ago, also requested remu- neration, since he started as a 10 hour a month vol- unteer and the role has grown much larger. He is paid for mileage and expenses. Council later discussed I Queensway Retirement Home 100 Queen St., Hensall I k i ATTENTION ALL SENIORS MARK YOUR CALENDAR!

Robertson said Bearss is doing a good job for seniors in the area. "I think it's a really worthwhile thing." However, council expressed concern that by paying Bearss, they would be "opening up a whole new can of works," according to Morley, because other volunteers might request remunera- tion. Council asked chief administrative officer Larry Brown to look into the issue and report back at a future meeting.

The purpose of the proposed housekeeping zoning by-law amendment is to permit one storage shed to be constructed on a vacant lot in the RC1 (Recreational Residential) zone prior to the construction of the main recreational residence.

For the purpose of the storage shed, the rear yard shall be the street side for waterfront lots. This by-law amends zoning by-law 10-1987 of the former Township of Hay, and zoning by-law 22-1985 of the former Township of Stanley, now Wards of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bluewater. The lands affected by this amendment are all lands zoned RC1 (Recreational Residential).
