N On April 16, ClintOnians will
be asked for their sugseationa and any
cliticiBme of a Mewed aMendment to the
UM'S official -plana - -
The amendment is Reeinettibt called a
Community Improvement Policy. The
guideline policy will outline areas of
deficiency in the town. It will also establish
• goals, objectives and criteria for the
improved future of the town.
Inclusion of the policy in the official plan
is necessary before Clinton can be eligible to
receive Ontario Neighborhood
Improvement Program (ONIP) funding.
ONIP, sponsored by the Ministry of
Municipal Affairs and Housing, has helped
hundreds of municipalities in their efforts to
upgrade and repair.
ONIP helps fund municipal projects and
operates on a dollar for doll .ar basis,

finance two particular areas, hard and toft

sidewalks and street.lighting, for example.
Soft services cover a variety of social and
recreation areas including parks, libraries
and arena improvements.
The program stipulates that ONIP
funding must be spent on both hard and soft
services and at least 20 per cent must be
spent on one. Many municipalities favor the
the 80-20 per cent split, spending the largest

ONIP regulations also •state that 50 per J•
cent of the money must he spent, fr.
residential areas of the town, Thia-dos not
mean that the private homeowner can
directly receive ONIP funds. The content
behind this is that ONIP will, as its title
states, improve the neighborhood as a
whole.
Wayne Cald • ell, rom the Huron County
Planning De i me t is helping to prepare
Clinton's Co unit Improvement Policy.
He explain' d that 1 e policy must be
approved by the public before it can be
adopted by town council as part of the
town's official plan.
Mr. Caldwell said that the province
requires the policy because they want
municipalities to „put some thought into
where ONIP money should be spent.
Once ONIP funding is approved, then a
more comprehensive, detailedplantSdrawit
up, detailing specifically where money:will
be spent.
Last year Clinton's ONIP application was
turned down, due to lack of funds. Council
had hoped that-ONIP could offer at least
$160,000 financing for the town hall -library
restoration project.
In 1984 the town is hoping for better
success. One ONIP representative, Cathy
Fox, told council at a_Jamiarymeeting-that
95. per cent of ONIP applications are
approved the second time around.
In preparing their ONIP applications,
municipal councils include the many areas
where funds could be used. Tom Moy, ONIP
community renewal officer for the area,
said •that ONIP looks at the entire list of
deficiencies, then determines the amount of
the grant.
As the final step in their application for
ONIP funds, Clinton council must adopt the
community improvement policy.
The proposed policy and the amendment
to the town's official plan will be tht,, topic of
the April 16 public meeting. It will be held at
7 p.m. in the Clinton municipal office. Any
person may make a written or verbal
presentation either in support aaappositiop
,to the proposal.
Correction
It was incorrectly reported in the March
28 issued of the Clinton News -Record that
ONIP funding totalled $12 in 1983. That in
fact should have read, $12 -million.
It was also incorrectly reported that
Clinton had applied for a $60,000 ONIP grant
last year.

once lit the town hall auditorium will be
restored to its original grandeur.
Clinton Councillor Bee Cooke told council

In order to receive grant funding for
repairs to the town hall slate roof, the town

was suggested, but the Heritage Foundation
