Huron East supports county CEMC proposal
Huron East Council voted to
support the concept of a Community
Emergency Management Co-
ordinator (CEMC) position being
provided at the Huron County level.
Council discussed the move at its
March 21 meeting, but the decision
had been made at the county level. It
was just up for vote at the lower -tier
municipal councils now.
Huron East Fire Chief Marty
Bedard said he was in support of the
move. Bedard, along with all other
municipal fire chiefs, had previously
been doing the job for his
municipality. However, at the county
level, the 2017 budget includes a
half full -time -equivalent in order to
provide CEMC services at the
county level and top up the position
to a full-time employee.
In his report to council, Knight
told councillors that the CEMC
position dates back to 2002 when
legislation was introduced requiring
every municipality to develop an
emergency management program
and designate an employee as a
CEMC.
Discussion regarding a county
CEMC began in 2016, at a time
when the county had a part-time
CEMC. The budget suggested,
however, increasing that position to
full-time and taking the burden of a
CEMC from the municipalities.
The one notable exception, Knight
said, has been Goderich, which has
been resistant to the move. That,
however, shouldn't have an effect on
the rolling out of the program, he
said.
Knight told councillors that while
there may be cost savings as a result
of the move, they will be small. The
shift in responsibility is more about
preparedness than about costs.
"[There are] some budget impacts,
but relatively minor as the position is
being funded through the county
levy. Any savings at the lower tier
are negligible," Knight said in his
report to council. "This proposal is
not being viewed as a measure to
achieve cost savings, but more of a
means to maintain the necessary
qualifications and establish
consistency across the lower tiers
within the county."
Council approved the proposal.
