councillors to look
at procedures
BY CHERYL

Clinton News -
Record Staff
Huron . County
councillors are
gearing up to
review how the
county conducts
business.
Thanks to a
motion approved at
the county's June
17 committee -of -
the -whole session,
councillors are set
to hear presenta-
tions from each of
the ": department
managers in order
to garner a better
understanding of
the budgeting
process and admin-
istrative proce-
dures.
Other subjects,
like f :: cost-cutting;
measures and con-
sultants, proved to
be a bone of con-
tention for some
councillors. -
Coun. Bernie
MacLellan (Huron_
East) questioned
the fairness of ask-
ing department
managers to report
back on problems
and deficiencies.
"They shouldn't
come back with
anything that is
wrong because
they should have
-changed it
already," says
MacLellan, liken-
ing the process to
asking a unionized
shop whether there
are too many
workers.
"Don't put them
through it," urged
MacLellan, adding
it would make
more sense to use
an "external
source" even if
there is a substan-
tial cost involved.
, ''If . it ' saves
money, it's worth
it," he says.
Coun. . Deb
Sµh_ew,fe1t
(Goderich). : says
the process •.is
about a ,number of
factors, including.
finding out. which
programs and fed-
eral and provincial
governments ' inan-
date services. He
argues It makes
sense to ask the
manager since a
consultant would
be asking, them the
same questions.
Coun. Dorothy
Kelly (Morris
Turnberry) noted
council already
opted not to hire a
consultant, though
C h .i e f
Administrative
Officer Larry
Adams pointedout
it is still;.an -.option
since no motion
was made to A that
effect.
County Warden
Ken Oke (South
Huron) supported.
the idea of. seeking
input from man-
agers , and thea to
move forward with
a consultant if nec-
essary. -
r, Coun. James
ft -'erg ss.o.n
(Bluewater) also
spoke out in favour
of the process.
"I think this is, a
start. Let's gel on
with it," he said..
Coun. Ben Van
D,iepenbeek
(Ash.fJe1d-
Colborne-.
Wawanosh) also
favours the plan.
"Most of us don't
have the will to
spend $300,000 to
$500,000 on a con-
sultant," he said.
