Kincardine council has agreed to add two members to the Inverhuron
Environmental Assessment Steering Committee.
Five members of the public (one permanent resident and four seasonal)
and two council members (deputy mayor Laura Haight and councillor Randy
Roppel) make up this committee which is dealing with the $9-million
project to install water and sewer systems in Inverhuron - with
two-thirds funding provided through the federal/provincial Building
Canada Fund.
During discussion last month, Roppel said there is a belief in
Inverhuron that the committee membership has a disproportionate number
of seasonal representatives on it. If two more year-round residents were
appointed to the committee, it would be more balanced, he said. Also on
the committee are two staff members and the engineering consultants, B.M.
Ross and Associates.
Haight said there were 18 applications received for the positions on the
committee, representing a good cross-section of Inverhuron, including
those on public and private services, and those who live on the north
and south side.

"It's not a big deal to add two more people," she said.
"Only 27 per cent of Inverhuron is seasonal. The steering
committee is basically in charge of bringing the
Environmental Assessment forward. We have three more
meetings and we're bringing a report to council by June."
Council agreed to add two more permanent residents to the
committee, selected from the 18 applications already
received.
