Huron County deIerrs funding request byHCFA By Mona. Irwin A request for funding by a local agricultural groap was deferred back to Huron County Council's : executive com- mittee' by a 15-11 vote. • • Members of the Huron County Federa- tion of Agriculture attended the January 4 'council meeting to ask council for a grant of $15;000, saying that if the coon ty would allow this, the HCFA would not canvass individual municipalities for assistance. The HCFA has initially made its re-. quest before the ;council's Executive Com- mittee at the committee's December 13 meeting. The committee had voted to deny the request. "One year ago : we appeared (before': council) and were turned down," because that year's budget had already been struck; said Chris .Painet president of the HCFA. -"At the end of the past year we received a letter from one of tile, com- mittee members suggesting we appear: again before you got your budget struck, and, here we are." Palmer said the • HCFA is "a county organization, and the money stays in the countyfor activities here. • . "And we represent all the farmers (in. Huron County) -- full-time and partr4ime:• The work we do saves the county thousands of dollars,in dealing with farm- related problems." • While the ideal amount Of the grant is $15,000, that's negotiable, he added. However, "the more funding we get, the more work we can do," said Palmer.' If the county chose to•donate less than $8,000, the HCFA would "probably choose to keep working with the (individual) townships. On the whole, they've been very gracious." The HCFA has had a drop in • member- ship, said Palmer --from from 2,000 to 1,5000 --but "we're trying to get new members." The membership fee is $130. per member, and from that, "$3 comes back to, the county. That's what we work with," he said. • . Couin. Tom Cunningham suggested that council should, consider a donation, "although I don't agree with the $15,000 figure." I've had my problems with the Federa- tion in the past, but I'm not sure we're looking at this in . the best interests of the residents," said Cunningham, who is also reeve of Hullett Township. "Agriculture is pretty important here, and if it is suffering - and it is -- it'll probably get worse depending on what the feds are trying to do to us. "We said .. last year that we couldn't give them funding because they came too late, so try next year. They've..done' ,their fair part, and they've also agreed not to collect. at local and county levels" council does agree to make a, donation, sai "I, don't disagree With what he says," 'Said . Coon. David Johnston, "But a lotof people don't make their :living* at agriculture. and, -I don't see the county paying, their union or association dues," Johnston, who is also reeve of the Village of Bayfield, -suggested that other industry: related organizations would . be quick to come forward for similar donations if council agreed to the HCFA request. "We have one industry we're paying to - SWOTA," said Cunningham, referring to the South-West Ontario . Tourism Association. • "We have set a precedent" by paying SWOTA," Cunningham went on, and "a lot of people in your municipality have gained mightily." •.: "OK, then let's set a policy, that we're going to give to all associations, not pick one or two," Johnston said. Coun. Bill Mickle "suggested 'that no decision . be made on .the request "because we're pre -judging. parts of the budget before we have a 'chance to look at the ,whole thing." - "Let's' not close the door yet until we see the budget as a whole," agreed. Cun ningham. A motion to defer the matter back to the executive committee was made. "If the organization is that much' of a benefit, to farmers, why aren't the dues increased enough to (cover the costs of) " the organizatign?" asked Coun. John • • Doherty. "We're discussing a motion to defer ,you, -are out of 9rder at this time," said 'Warden LitanelrWilder. ti..a Johnston pointed -oat -that if the,n'iatter was deferred back to the executive .com- niittee "they'll just deny it again because they've already denied it once. "Apd I don't° know why. Im supporting it because - ' I'm against it,"' he added shaking his head as 'he sat down amidst a ripple of laughter. "Shouldn't it go before the Agriculture and Property Committee?" said Counc. Marie Hicknell - "Requests for money to . the theEx- ecutive Committee," said Wilder. "But shouldn't it go to Agriculture and Property first?" Hicknell asked. Wilder pointed out that the Agriculture and Property Committee doesn't meet un- March, nMarch, so the HCAF "could be left out in the cold entirely if .(Agriculture and Property) turns them down" because most if not all, of the townships will have their budgets struck by then.. ' "$15,000 won't have much of an impact on the county's budget," Johnston said with . not six; five, two or even one per cent (of the budget)." If council plans to support business associations in general, "I'm for it :- I'll get letters off to all the associations I'll write cheques to," • Johnston said.
