Chamber scrambles to meet deadline : ding review by the Town by Robert Risk of Penetanguishene. Staff Writer Steve Robillard, The Penetanguishene: he didn't know about the Tiny Chamber of com deadline (this Friday) un- merce is in a last-minute til last week. scramble to put together "It might have been a a budget in time fora fun- slip-up and we'll have to consider it a matter of our notice being misplaced."' However, town treasurer Shirley Bellehumeur said the chamber isn't a commit- tee of the town and the chamber must follow a different procedure. "They have to make a submission for a grant to the town. It's up to them to approach us." When asked about the situation, Councillor Peter Shirriff, chairman of the finance committee (which reviews the budgets), pointed out that there are two members of council who sit on the chamber of commerce. Shirriff said the coun- cillors (Bob Klug and Iris Cing-Mars) would have known about the deadline through their dealings | | chamber president, said JEEP/EAGLE DEALERS OF ONTARIO a with the town council and would have told Robillard about it. "Obviously somebody (Robillard or the coun- cillors) isn't listening. Everyone was told to make every effort to get them (budgets) in by Fri- Ane Le PREMIER ( S LIMITED TIME OFFER! 1986 on Z MITE!

"T think $15,000 is what we're going to be asking for. We can't rely on (pro- vincial) government grants year after year because we don't get them every time." As an example, he said, they applied to the pro- vince to get subsidized salaries for four summer positions and wound up getting only one. The finance meeting, (closed to the public) is tonight (Wednesday), dur- ing which the first draft of the town's budget will be discussed. Bellehumeur predicted the process for finalizing this year's budget will take a month or two. "There's about 10 dif- ferent committees and other services to con- sider, such as the police department, fire depart- ment, etc. We have to make sure the taxpayers will have the ability to pay for all that." WYE Cont'd from pg. 1 The stronger possibili- ty of being at least partial- ly reimbursed comes as a relief to the group, which has privately raised $54,000 to bring their case through _ the hearings. Some $28,000 of that was awarded by the assessment board after it was decided the Why WYE group was the main independent intervenor involved in the dump site hearings process. However, the group's treasurer, Marlene Lam- bie, said another $43,500 will be needed to ensure all the costs for the hear- ings are covered. John McCullough, Why WYE chairman, was con- fident the group would manage to find its way through to the end of the hearings nevertheless. "T've taken some excep- tion to the idea that we don't have the money for the hearings. We're deter- mined to see this through to the end and | think I can assure the press we have every intention of having our day in court."
