Central Huron council briefs from their
meeting on Monday, November 21

Council briefs from November 21 are
as follows:
- Councilor Anderson asked Roads
Manager Tom Sinclair about a patch of
missing sidewalk by St. Joseph's school;
Sinclair said the project will be a part of
next year's budget.
- The dog park has been completed
in Auburn. Councillor Alex Westerhout
thanked Tom Sinclair for doing such a
great job at getting the park set up. He
commended Sinclair for doing the pro-
ject quickly and said it looks great.
- Councillor Anderson asked Steve
Campbell about the concession booth
at Clinton Radars games; she said ser-
vice there is often very slow and the
booth is open inconsistently and seems
understaffed. She said this causes peo-
ple to go to other places for food and
bring it with them to the arena. Camp-
bell said they will be moving another
fryer to the booth shortly which could
help with wait times.
- Steve Campbell presented a photo
of the final design concept of Clinton
Community Park and its additions of a
skate park, splash pad, pavilion and
playground equipment. Council liked
the layout and approved it; this
approval included placing the splash
pad on top of the existing wading pool.
- Councilor Westerhout has asked
Clerk Brenda Mclssac about the status
of the building on Albert Street which
suffered a fire at the end of August; the
building has not been repaired since
the fire, and as far as information that
has been given goes, the building can-
not handle much snowfall on the dam-
aged roof. Since winter is impending,
Councilor Westerhout asked what work
was being done. Mclsaac has said that
part of the reason for slow movement is
the arson investigation as well as insur-
ance dealings on the property. She said
at this meeting that they are expecting a
formal engineering report very shortly;
she was expecting to have it the day of
the meeting on November 21 but
hadn't received it yet. That report will
be very telling on what repairs need to
be done so the building can hopefully
be fixed quickly.
- Kathy O'Reilly and Shirley Dins-
more made a presentation regarding
the hospice beds coming to Huron and
Perth counties. Although council
agreed hospice beds would be benefi-
cial for the area, some councillors also
questioned why communities are being
asked to fundraise for a portion of the
beds' funding ($372,300 for five beds
annually.) They said this didn't make
sense as it costs much less to fund a
hospice bed than a hospital bed, so if
creating hospices relieves a financial
burden for the government, they
thought it made more sense for the gov-
ernment to fully fund the beds. O'Reilly
stated at the end of her presentation
that she was "quite sure" that their col-
laborative's commission study would
"suggest quite strongly" that hospice
beds come to Central Huron.
- Central Huron went into a private in
camera session to discuss information
pertaining to a motion to "enter into an
agreement with the Corporation of the
Municipality of Bluewater for Shared
Fire Chief Services': After the in camera
session, this motion was voted down.
Then there was a motion to defer the
decision, which passed.
