Library
has a
budget
impact of
5 0 0 0
Continued from page 1
of the whole meeting, Ross stated
that the budget impact would be a
one-time cost of $15,000. While the
purchase of some furniture and
shelving will be required, that
existing in the current facility can be
re-used.
The money, said Ross, can be
accommodated from the building
reserve fund for library development
or the county's provision for
unforeseen.
There would also be moving costs.
Treasurer Dave Carey had also
included written comments in the
report that funds were available in the
capital reserve fund and general
reserve specifically for the library
strategic plan.
When the move occurs, said Ross,
after the meeting, is now up to North
Huron council. "The library board is
the tenant. The approval has been
given to go ahead so it's up to council
and the owner to work out those
details.
North Huron deputy-reeve Murray
Scott said they would like to see
everything set to go by the spring.
"It's going to'be an excellent facility
for the Blyth residents.
Blyth Legion euchre results will
be in next week's paper.
