Draft budget pushed one
step closer to final approval
Dave Flaherty
Goderich Signal Star
Huron County's 2015
budget is one step closer to
being approved.
The draft budget was
passed at the committee of
the whole meeting on Feb. 18.
Treasurer Michael Blum-
hagen told council that staff
had reached the two per cent
levy increase they had
requested.
He also indicated that using
approximately $377,000 of the
2014 surplus would not have
an affect on the county's
reserves, which are estimated
to be about $38 million at the
end of 2015.
However, Ashfield-Col-
bome-Wawanosh Reeve Ben
Van Diepenbeek disagreed.
"You are going down from
$42 million to $38 million,"
Van Diepenbeek said.
Blumhagen said he was try-
ing to explain that in the con-
text of the surplus, it would
not affect reserves, but did
agree that the service levels of
the county and funding
budget items from reserves
wouldn't be sustainable for
much longer.
Van Diepenbeek conveyed
his displeasure with the over-
all composition of the budget
"We didn't cut one thing
out," he said.
In his opinion, the county
has been granting the
requests of every organization
that approaches them.
"The rumour on the street
is if you need money, go to the
county," he quipped.
Blumhagen said there were
a number of items that were
taken out of the budget to
bring it down to the two per
cent increase.
He also pointed out that
Ontario Municipal Partner-
ship Fund (OMPF) alloca-
tions to Huron County were
down approximately $700,000
this year, which amounts to
about two per cent of the
county's budget.
Central Huron Mayor Jim
Ginn said lower -tier munici-
palities have suffered OMPF
cuts as well and have had to
find ways to cut down on their
spending.
"We have to have a really
tight budget, he said, adding
that the actual growth for
Huron County is 0.8 per cent
- a figure he believes should
be the goal for this year's
budget increase.
Central Huron Deputy
Mayor Dave Jewitt said they
need a service review but it
is too late in the budget pro-
cess to start now.
"We should have meet-
ings to see what services we
want to be involved in," he
said. "But don't cut just to
get to an arbitrary number."
Goderich Deputy Mayor
Jim Donnelly said the
budget was "reasonable"
under the county's circum-
stances but steps need to be
taken so they are not in the
same position in future
years.
The budget will be
brought back to the March 4
county council meeting for
final approval.
