The Citizen, 2015-09-17, Page 21THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2015. PAGE 21. Last year was a good one from a financial standpoint for North Huron Township according to a report presented by Paul Seebach. During North Huron Township Council’s Sept. 8 meeting, Seebach, of Vodden, Bender & Seebach LLP Chartered Accountants, presented the company’s consolidated report of the 2014 financial statements for the municipality. He stated that, due to the nature of the municipality’s finances, there wasn’t much consolidation necessary between the financial report that was presented earlier this year. He did point out, however, that there were some notable points he wanted to address with council. First, reserves for the municipality had risen $250,000 to approximately $8,345,000 over the past year. Debt is currently at $2.4 million, which is down from 2014 and expenses were near or below what was expected. Seebach did mention, however, that the landfill closure costs are up significantly. “The amount is how much it would cost to close and monitor a landfill,” he said, pointing to the Wingham, East Wawanosh and Blyth-Hullett Landfills as the three landfills for which North Huron is responsible. “The costs went up from $47,000 to $316,000,” he said. The problem with the landfills, he explained, is that the ground around the East Wawanosh landfill doesn’t prevent the potential problems caused by dumping as well as other sites, meaning it has to be monitored 160 years after its final closure. Wingham, however, only requires 67 years of monitoring due to the leachate not being able to move as easily through the ground. A report indicating the amount of investment necessary was completed this year and increased the amount suggested the municipality consider setting aside each year to cover those costs. Council accepted the report without comment.
