The Citizen, 2012-04-05, Page 23THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 2012. PAGE 23. By Gary LongNorth Huron ChiefAdministrative Officer/ClerkEver wonder if elected officials
and municipal staff are paying
attention to the views of local
residents? North Huron’s 2012
budget, recently approved by
council, along with other recent
initiatives, can be linked back to last
fall’s community consultation phase
of our strategic planning process.
This phase included public meetings
in Blyth, East Wawanosh and
Wingham; roundtable discussions
with local business groups and non-
profit service providers; and a citizen
survey. In total, over 500 residents
took part in this consultation phase
and provided us with valuable
feedback about their goals and
vision for North Huron and the
priorities and issues they feel the
municipality should be focused on.
A consensus emerged on several
key points. First, North Huron
residents want programs and
services maintained, not cut nor
reduced. Second, North Huron
residents want future tax increases
kept to reasonable levels and they
want council and staff to look for
efficiencies to reduce the overall cost
of delivering programs and services.
Third, residents want council and
staff to do more regarding economic
development and North Huron
businesses. The 2012 budget, despitechallenging economic times andtight operating budgets, maintains
programs and services, which is a
priority for North Huron residents.
Council also had resident feedback
in mind regarding tax levels when
they approved a spending increase of
2.92 per cent which is in line withinflation. Council and staff workedtogether to find savings, trimexpenditures, reduce capital projects
and equipment purchases.
In the area of economic
development, a new committee has
been established that is comprised of
council and community members
from all three wards. The purposeof this committee is to create astrategy and action plan to attractdevelopment and new businesses as
well as support our existing
businesses. Council and staff are
also very excited about the new
business associations created over
the past year, specifically the Blyth
Business Improvement Associationand the Wingham Business Alliance.North Huron Council and staff areworking with these associations on
downtown revitalization initiatives
including the Josephine Street
project in Wingham and the
Downtown Streetscape Master Plan
