CORBETT The Mid -Huron Landfill Sue Board has received a wnucn ver- sion of Ctuuon Town Councils' complaints over the way the board u operating. In excavate for as amendment to the landlnil board agreement, some tears of the board promised to address Clinton's concuss. Clinton town c owicillars had been accused of withholding their ap- proval of a board landfill agreement amendment until their concerns are dealt with. The muaicipalitrs of Seaford', Lucknow, Colborne, Tuckersmith and Bayfield are using the Holmcs- ville landfill sae under an emergen- cy permit.. The amendment, which all eight of the board's member municipalities must sign, would guarantee these municipalities that their waste will still be taken care of by the board once the emergency permit expires. Monday night, four days after the landfill meeting the board, represen- tatives from Clinton, Seaforth and Lucknow convinced Clinton town council to sign the amendment, saying they had similar concerns and they would be dealt with. Clinton clerk -treasurer Mane Jefferson said of the list of complaints: "Hopefully, these items will enlighten the Board a little with regard to the concerns the Clinton Council has had and still has with a "simple amendment" to the agreement. Perhaps, rather than use the 'bandaid approach' this is the latae 10 negouate a complete new act malt. addreascmng not only Clinton's cancans but also those of other munrcipnttttes as well." In the lust of concerns Clinton sayer • A meet equitable method of amnia. crash,, would be by as - seaman rather than population. Currently the member municipalities pay their share of landfill site costs bayed on the population of their municipalities. Clinton feels thin does not represent the amount of garbage generated at the site in towns with a large amount of industry, where an assessment system could. Other members of the board pointed out that using assessment as a method of determining cost shares would distort cottage country municipalities such as Bayfield. • Clinton also suggested that an adjustment could be made to reflect the usage of the landfill site by member municipalities with factors such as tonnage dumped and type of materials dumped considered. .'Since there are now four full- time employees on staff, the keeping of the necessary records should not be a problem," wrote Clinton. • Clinton says the matter of recycling and not recycling should be a factor in determining costs. Those municipalities with a household recycling program are contributing a lesser amount of waste, and should be contributing a 90th birthday wishes given at St. Patrick's Camilla (Millie) Evans celebrated her 90th birthday on Saturday July 14.

Candidates • from page lA In furthering his political aims, Mr. Cornish noted "I see a vacuum of leadership at the provincial level. Huron County needs a strong voice for the rural community." He has expressed interest in developing Huron County's agricultural strengths by aiming to bring more lessor amount of money fur the site. • "pmts apeman deals with Atte existing landfill at only - not the portion to be purchased. A new agcouncnc should be drawn up which will relate to the operation of the new landfill site," wrote elites ton. • The landfill board agreement also states that in tate case of any tic volas at the board's discussion tablce, Goderich Twp. will be given an additional vote. Clinton says a tie vote should be a lost vote, and discussion could be re -introduced. Clinton also pointed out instances where it feels the agreement is not being adhesed to. "This board may be doing a 'Frear fob to terms of managing the sac, 1 have no squabble with that, but either you're going to follow the letter of the agreement or you're not," said Phil Cornish, Clinton's representative. "Isn't it time we re- wrote the whole agreement instead of just amending part?" The board referred these concerns and others in the letter to Goderich Commissioner of Works Kea Hunter, who will report back to die board . The nutter will be discussed at the next board mecung. Cornish says Clinton council is treating the amendment as "part and pared of the overall agreement," which the town says needs to be overhauled. When the eotacerns from Clinton are dealt with at the next meeting, the board will also consadcr any problems other member municipalities may have with the way the site is operating. LAND DEAL An agree=neru has yet to be negotiated for the purchase of the new landfill site. Landfill board secretary Larry McCabe says the price per acre, and where the property boundaries will be drawn for buffer lands, is still being negotiated by lawyers for the board and landowner George Lavis. The board had anticipated signing a land deal three months ago.
