Nair, and sent the matter back to committee for further deliberation. Present, indications are, though, that many county councillors believe the county should engage another qualified planner at whatever cost is necessary to expedite the preparation of secondary plans for all municipalities. Estimated salary for such a person is between $16,000 and $18,000 an- nually. agit speaking to the recommendation of his committee, Deputy-reeve Mair said that the planning board recognized it would take some time to turn a trainee into a qualified planner, but he said the board had found any qualified applicants expec- ted a much more substantial salary than the county eves prepared to pay at this time. A salary range of $12,000 to $13,000 had been suggested. "If the board were to advertise again the position of a qualified planner, salary ranges would have to be increased and this in turn would mean salary ranges of our present staff would have to be reviewed again," Mair pointed out. THE REo CROSS SAYS WE'RE T00-07ra To GIVE BLOOD— AN' RUFF .......1:ON:l-CoUNT 'CAUSE NE'S JUST A MG__ Planning director Gory Davidson maid the planning deportment now has. an assistant who. does much of the ground work toward the preparation of secondary plans, but. he said only qualified planner can compile this data and prepare proper plans for county municipalities. He pointed out that student help during the summer of 1974 had resulted in the collection of research materials for seven municipalities and it is this material the planning depart- ment is most anxious to convert into secon- dary plans, Reeve Everett Mcllwain of Goderioh township told council it should. not. get the idea that a planning trainee would hasten the preparation of much-needed secondary plans, "Possible there is a place for a trainee but just don't get the idea that we're going to get a planner with the qualifications of say, Nick Hill," pointed out reeve Mcllwain. Mr. Hill is a qualified planner already in the county planning department. Deputy-reeve of Goderich township, Gerry Ginn reminded council that ground work such as a trainee would do, could be done by summer students. Last summer, the government subsidized these students at the rate of 80 percent. He advocated hiring a qualified planner for the fulltime post. "It is foolish business to hire someone you probably don't need when you can get work done at an 80 percent subsidy by hiring summer students." Ginn told coun- cil. "Municipalitik are waiting for secon- dary plans. It is not good business to hire someone we don't need at $8,000 a year if we can hire someone we do need at $16,000." Stephen township deputy-reeve. Cecil Desjarine of the planning board said that if council is prepared to readjust the salaries of all the present planning board staff, it could hire a qualified planner at "what the market demands" as Ginn had suggested. He recommended, however, that the trainee be retained. "I think you'll find a place for him," said Desjardine. Reeve Deb Shewfelt of Goderich pointed out that if the 17 municipalities still waiting for secondary plans were each to hire their own planning consultant at an average cost of $6,000 each, it would be ex- pensive as well. "It is a good business approach to call for a qualified person who is capable of handling the full responsibility of plan- ning," said Shewfelt. Reeve Charlie Thomas of Grey township warned that training someone in the depar- tment might "burden the present staff" and even slow down the planning process in Huron. It is foolish to spend $8,500 on something we don't need," said Thomas. Deputy-reeve Stan Profit of Goderich reiterated a statement he had made at earlier meetings. "Maybe the municipalities should do a little for them, selves," he said. "How imperative is plan- ning to you .people?"" Reeve McIlwain said the, whole county is "Underwriting the cost of the planning department" and has a right to expert ser- vice. Deputy-reeve Ginn added that there would be "greater consistency in planning throughout the county if we hire extra staff at the county level," "Another planner is the answer," said Reeve Harold Lobb, Clinton. Qualified planners are not only expen- sive, they are scarce, according to Chair- man Mair. He said there was a good chance Huron might not even be able to hire a qualified planner if it offered top dollar - the province is paying planners $24,000 Warden Bill Elston reported. Mair suggested that perhaps priority shbuld be given to first preparing plans for those areas of municipalities adjacent to urban centres where the bulk of the problem seem to arise. "The townships should get off their asses and do something," insisted deputy-reeve Frank Cook, Clinton, "Or let's hire a qualified planner and get on with the job." Reeve Derry Boyle, Exeter, agreed. He said each municipality should be prepared to spend a little extra money to expedite the planning in Huron. "If it's a planner you want, this is the place to say so," stated Jack McCutcheon, reeve of Brussels. Those opposed to the planning board recommendation to hire a trainee, and in favour of sending the matter back to com- mittee for further study were John Baker, Derry Boyle, Frank Cook, John Flannery, Gerry Ginn, Joe Hoffman, Joe Kerr, Rob- bie Lawrie, Harold Lobb, Bob Lyons, Everett Mcllwain, Anson McKinley, Roy Pattison, Stan Profit, Girvin Reed, Charles Scanlon, Deb Shewfelt, Erwin Sillery, Charlie Thomas, Jack Tinney, Harold Wild and Roy Williamson. In other business, it was learned the restructuring committee still has not held a meeting although it was indicated one may still be included on this year's agenda. The official plan for the village of Brussels was approved by council and will now be forwarded to the Minister for final approval..
