director Linda Rockwood said an
agreement with
Huron County over
the 'cross-border
billing issue is close
to being reached
and that negotia-
tions are also under-
way with Oxford
County.
Efforts to resolve
cross-border billing
issues . with
Waterloo Region are
also in their early
stages.
County Coun.
John Van Bakel is
pleased that progress
on resolving the -
billing issues.
"This is some-
thing that's been
hanging in the
balance for four
or five years now
and it's just nice
to see it move
forward and get
settled," said
Coun. Van
Bakel.
The commit-
tee that oversees.
shared services
between the
county, the City
of Stratford ` and
the Town of St.
Marys is also
going to be look-
ing at the feasi-
bility of creating
a joint library
is being made
service for the geographical area of
Perth County.
The municipal liai-
son committee has
asked the chief
administrative offi-
cers of the three
municipalities to
determine a cost to
study the possibil-ity
of establishing a
library service.
Coun. Van
Bakel is concerned
about the plan
because most public
libraries in the coun-
ty are operated by
the lower -tier munic-
ipalities, and not
upper tier governments.
"They're discussing a service that
is under local jurisdiction right now,
and I just think that the one who
have jurisdiction over those services
should be involved in any discus-
sion," he said.
The committee's intent to discuss
the joint library system is part of a
series of services it is considering
for possible sharing between munic-
ipalities, according to Coun. Ed
Hollinger, who represents county
council on the municipal liaison
committee...
Other items have included polic-
ing, roads and economic develop-
ment.
"If there is cost savings and there
is, a means of doing it, I think we
should seriously look at it as lower
tiers and as a county, Stratford and
St. Marys," said Coun. Hollinger.
One of the issues involving the
libraries is the Perth County
Information Network (PCIN).
Stratford, St. Marys, Perth East
and West Perth are all members of
the system, but North Perth is not.
`This is
something that's
been hanging in
the balance for
four or five years
now...,'
