Lucknow Sentinel, 2009-06-24, Page 15Luckiiow Sentinel,' Wednesday, June 24, 2009 - Page 15 New signs confusing for some councillors BY CHERYL HEATH Clinton News Record Staff New tourism signs proved to be unwelcome to some Huron County councillors. In addressing Huron County's committee -of -the - whole session June 17, Mike Pullen, the county's senior economic -development offi- cer, unveiled an intricate purchasing strategy that left a few councillors scratching their heads. Coun. Deb Shewfelt (Goderich) questioned the process behind choosing a Kitchener company to take on one . part of the job, val- ued at $44,045.21, when a Zurich business was one of the bidders at a price only $300 higher. Shewfelt notes he . has "a hard time" going out of the county for a negligible price difference. Planning director Scott Tousaw says administrators did -review the bids carefully, but the Kitchener business proved successful. Meanwhile, county treasurer Dave Carey cautioned coun- cil to avoid choosing tenders based solely on the fact that a company is local. Coun. Joseph Seili (Huron East) announced he would be voting against the motion regardless of which bid was chosen since the plan is being presented so late in the year. "I have a feeling right now that it's being rammed down Qin. throats," he says. Seili added that it defies common sense to hurry along with choosing a bid when the signs won't go up until September or October. "Why is this such a rush all of a sudden? I don't know," he said. Shewfelt added that, ulti- mate "it's councillors' choice" as to which bid is accepted. Meanwhile, Coun. Max Demaray (Lowick) learned the new signage would not be able to accommodate municipalities looking for a way to tack their names onto more attractive signage. Pullen told Demaray the county could look at ways to create new signage on sepa- rate structures. Shewfelt's motion to accept the Zurich. bid rather the Kitchener one resulted in a recorded vote with seven councillors supporting the buy -local option: Tim Collyer (Central Huron), Dorothy Kelly (Morris Turnber), Shewfelt, Dowson(Bluewater), Demaray, Dave Johnston (Bluewater) `and • James Fergusson (Bluewater). Those opposing the motion were Murray Scott (North Huron), Bert Dykstra (Central Huron), Neil Vincent (North Huron), Ken Oke (South Huron), Ben Van Diepenbeek (Ashfield Colborne Wawanosh), Bernie MacLellan (Huron East), Neil Rintoul (Ashfield Colborne Wawanosh), Jim Dietrich (South Huron) and George Robertson (South Huron). Councillor Seili abstained while councillors Bill Siemon (Huron East), John Grace (Goderich) and John Bezaire (Central Huron) were absent for the vote. A motion to accept the lowest Kitchener bid, made by MacLellan, passed by a 10-7 vote. Those supporting it were: Dykstra, Kelly, Oke, Vincent, Scott, Van Diepenbeek, Rintoul, MacLellan, Dietrich and, Robertson. Those opposed were Johnston, Shewfelt, Demaray, - Fergusson, Dowson, Seili;and Collyer. r _ ,-.-:;;,c,.aa•.fa :7.v9�yY.sa�9+Rwis,*.:7?tii11 • =Photo by Gerard Creces Brookside Public School _Grade 4 student Eliza Fleming recently. took part in the Avon Ma land . • Dlstrlct ,School: Board track and field evet t.
