NOTED AND FiLED The Town of Seaforth Council decided not to endorse a resolution passed by the Exeter Council, the .resolution registers Exeter's objection to the :Ministry Of Municipal Affairs delegating certain plan ning approvals to 'Huron County Council. Exeter passed the resolution because out of .concern county council is not sufficient- ly representative of the interests of any One .municipality to be given decision- making authorit on . matters affecting. tha par icular municipality; concerns • county council may. not be sufficiently competent or interested in the planning mechanisms' to give reasoned and thoughtful consideration to planning mat- ters.. in any municipality and concern the county level may not be sufficiently sen- sitive to the needs' of any one municipality to do the planning for it: • "We, the town staff, have no complaints whatsoever with county council," said Town .Administrator Jim Crocker. "I certainly wouldn't support it (.Ex- eter's resolution)," added MayorAlf Ross. "I think it all boils down to a few per - sonality problems,',' said Councillor Dinsmore. Town Council also noted and filed infor- mation from the city of Nepean concerning the apportionment of school costs. The Town of Goderich recently passed a resolution supporting the city of Nepean, and which it hopes will result in a fair ap- portionment of school' costs• in the future.

The current mill rates for those" two areas are 130 and 153 mills, respectively.

Gordon Pullman was presented with an award of recognition for his contribution to the municipal hydro system as a hydo commissioner in Seaforth for the last 10 years. The Ministry of the Environment has called for the classification of all utilities in the province, as well a's classification of the operators in the utilities. This is one way of assuring the public there are qualified individuals working for the PUC. and letting the ministry know exactly what there is in utilities across the province. A safety officer from the Electical Utili- ty Safety Association paid the PVC a stir - prise visit for an inspeetibn. The final assessment Was that Seaforth's system is fine, and the officer was satisfied to see that the utility has installed a fall arresting device on the water tower.
