Rec board seeks
Exeter ratepayers have
been asked to provide a
grant of approximately $75,-
000 for the operation of the
South Huron rec centre and
local recreation programs
this year, and a note affixed
to the board's budget in-
dicates that Usborne and
Stephen will also be asked to
increase their grants.
Last year, Usborne made
a grant of $6,000 and
Stephen's was $1,200.
Nothing was received from
Hay.
The total operating budget
for the rec centre, which in-
cludes the pool, park and
recreation programs, has
been listed at $208,405, Which
is a drop of about 12,000 over
last year. The board is also
requesting capital funding of
approximately 110,000
although they listed capital
projects estimated at $20,-
150.
Included is a deficit from
1980 of $4,354, which rec
board member Bill Mickle
attributed mainly to an over-
estimate of revenues in last
year's budget.
He noted that the recrea-
tion programs and facilities
cost about420 per person for
residents of Exeter and he
compared this to 129 for
recreation purposes ineHen-
sall.
Mickle expressed concern
over the capital costs in-
volved, noting they were ex-
penses that should not be ex-
pected with such a new
facility and blamed them on
engineering.
Among the captial cost
itmes were $4,800 for pain-
ting, $2.300 for a floor
scrubber. $600 for replace-
ment of thh front doors at
the rec centre, $3,000 for im-
provements to the ice
machine, $700 for a new
chlorinator and small
building for the wading pool
at Victoria Park, $1,500 to
replace the chairs at the rec
centre which are dis-
integrating, $1,500 each for a
tractor exit, brine pump
switch and windows from
the booth to the outside of
the facility and $1,000 for a
rug for the hall platforms.
A further expenditure of
$1,150 for a mirror ball fW
roller skating was question-
ed by council members.
Mickle said btewould

restitution has been made.

the same, but at would set
out the operation of the
facility in a better manner.
Expenditures for the
arena portion of the centre
this year have been es-
timated at $52,210 with a cor-
responding revenue of $38,-
750. Hall expenditures are
14,200 with $16,850 in
revenue and a profit for the
concession booths has been
set at about $8,000. Roller
skating is another profit -
maker with revenue of $9,350
in the budget and expen-
ditures of only $4,170.
The pool has been set for a
loss of about $4,350, while
other rec programs are ex-
pected to be almost self-
sustaining.
Adminstration costs have
been budgetted for $44,950
and $34,250 for utilities.
In estimating a decline in
the revenue from the swim
pool, the board is figuring on
some adverse weather for
the summer months. Last
year's actual revenue was
$11,391 and it has been es-
timated at $10,000 for this
year.
It is expected the provin-
cial grant will remain at the
same level as last year for
the local recreation
programs, that being 16,000.
The board will get out of
the liquor business this year
and will not be involved in
operating the bar for any
functions. "We didn't think
we should be in the liquor
business," Mickle com-
mented.
He also said that an ex-
perimental cleaning con-
tract will be set up with ARC
Industries and if it didn't
work out satisfactorily, part-
time help would be hired for
cleaning the facility.
Councillor Gaylan
Josephson noted that
visitors were always im-
pressed with the cleanliness
of the facility and expressed
concern that the reduced
budget for caretaking may
result in a decline in the
appearance of the rec centre.
"It is a high priority,"
Mayor Shaw remarked, ad-
ding that if things start to
slip, changes will be made in
the cleaning program.
Councillor Jay Campbell
said the increase being ask-
ed from Exeter taxpayers
this year was significant, but

Tendering problems caus-
ed a delay in the letting of a
sand cushion contract at Hay
Township council's April
meeting.
Tenders were to include a
certified cheque for a 10 per-
cent bond. The first tender
opened had a letter from the
company's bank explaining
the company's solvency, but
no cheque.
A second also did not have
a cheque. A third included a
cheque with two amounts
marked on it and quoted a
third amount in the applica-
tion.
A quote accepted at the
meeting was later rejected
because of an error.
Pollard Brothers, Harrow,
will provide calcium
chloride for township roads
in 1981. This was the only
tender received for the
material and was at a price
of $135.85 per flake ton.
Council accepted a tender
from John Finlay for
enumerating Hay Township
dogs. The cost will be $2.10
for every dog tag issued.
Four applications for the
building inspector's position
were received.
Council members express-
ed concern at getting an in-
spector located somewhere
near the center of the
township. This would limit
inconvenience to anyone
travelling to pick-up building
permits. and limit the costs
of mileage to the township if
the inspector drops off the
permits at the applicant's
home.
Council will interview two
of the four applicants.
Budgets of the Exeter and
area fire board and the
Zurich and area fire board
were accepted.
The Exeter budget was
$83.3000. Hay township's
share is $4,998. The Zurich
budget totaled 15,345, of
which Hay will pay 87,366.
Councillor Tony Bedard
said he thought the cost was
high for the Exeter board
coverage of about six per-
cent of the township. He also
stressed the importance of
fire department personnel
being well trained in first aid
methods.
Three applications for
municipal drains were
accepted.
Council member Gerald
Shantz will represent Hay on
the court of revision for the
repair and improvement of
the Mud Creek municipal
drain in Stephen Township.
The court will be held in the
Stephen council chambers
on May 5.
Rudy Engel will be ap-
pointed drainage com-
missioner for 1981 in Hay
Township. Clerk Joan
Ducharme said additional
government grants for drain
repairs could be received if
the township has a drainage
commissioner.
In other business:
Grants will be given to the
Zurich Agricultural Society,
for $, and St. John's Am-
bulance. for $25.
Council refused a request
for a grant from the Zurich
and District Chamber of
Commerce.
Hay will support one
quarter of the c osts of hiring
a summer student, in con-
junction with Stephen,
Stanley and Usborne
Townships. The student will
be hired to assist in studies
for the preparation of a zon-
ing by-law in the area.
The township will send a
letter to Hensall supporting
their efforts to establish a
housing project for seniors.
Reeve Lloyd. Mousseau
told council of the situation
at the past Huron County
council meeting where it
was voted to alter the
method of tax assessment.
Hay Township's requisi-
tion increases about 45 per-
cent.
Council will ask a
representative of the county
assessment office to attend
a council meeting to explain
the reasoning and the
methods of the new assess-
ment.
