Anonymous It's great to hear the municipality is implementing an asset management
8/27/2019 12:06 PM strategy as this is long overdue. Our community needs to grow to increase
the tax base to offset a provincial-municipal funding model that is crippling
small municipalities. Given this, the municipality ought to look at how they
can continue to spur development. To do this, a priority would be to look at
planning and zoning options such as bonusing and incentivizing development
under Bill 108. A LEAN review of processing building permits and conducting
building inspections would help improve the timeliness of this work and
probably lead to efficiencies. At the top of the list however should be a
replacement of our aging arena. The stop gap measures are simply not
cutting it. The emphasis on securing private sector partnership to fund a new
recreation facility and anchor for the community needs to be priority #1. A
public-private partnership would alleviate some of the risk and financial
burden on the tax levy increase. *side note: Having comment boxes on each
page of the survey would be helpful, as the aggregate survey topics are very
all encompassing and selecting options may fit some but not all of the
category. Please consider what role the lower tier municipality can play in
advocating to the County for support for the vulnerable population. The idea
that we must remove people from tents that are in a safe community park is
short-sighted. If they had a better place to go, do you not think they would
already be there? Residential development (and infrastructure to support it)
combined with creating a community anchor in a new recreation facility (multi-
use) would be at the top of the list. The water rates are through the roof and
Page 8 of 152020 Pre-Budget Survey : Survey Report for 27 August 2019 to 17 September 2019
frankly embarrassing, so reducing the tax levy impact on utilities and
reducing spending on conservation costs (outside of flood control) would be
helpful too. Please consider dusting off the age friendly plan, recreation
master plan, the community recreation steering committee reports, and all
other consultative reports and put them into action. Cheers.

Anonymous I’d like to see this sort of survey include ideas that show that council and
8/27/2019 03:44 PM staff are thinking more broadly about our municipality and its future. Of
course, I’m also tired of surveys that result in actions that don’t reflect the
wishes of the taxpayers. This community has schools that are shrinking,
healthcare services that are in jeopardy of being centralized and businesses
that need employees desperately. Council needs to decide if they are merely
the keepers of our infrastructure and get their fingers out of everything that
isn’t infrastructure (including recreation that successive councils have failed
at) or decide that they have a role to play as the voice of the taxpayers with
regard to decisions that are made provincially and federally that affect us
locally.

Anonymous Looking for financial analysis, by non staff to do review of services.for
8/27/2019 06:46 PM efficiencies and effectiveness vs political popularity..seems to have worked
with hiring consultant to review the Rec centres as staff did not or could not
provide accurate picture of condition and rising expense associated with the
Rec department. There are many efficiencies available in the recreation
department..should be YMCA who provide for less fortunate, as they pay less
for wages than municipality, and have volunteer opportunities. Get out of the
business and set up YMCA board. Council is not acting in the best interests
of the municipality when they continue to refuse to go after capital funding for
indoor pool, gym and fitness room, for 7.5 million, or consider the efficiencies
in membership program.please don’t leave it to a chopped up set of
programs with several expensive users fees, managed by private for
profits.enterprise..Let the private companies be the community hall for
weddings .You have no choice but to build a new ice surface, but have you
saved anything in reserves or used reserves and future revenue to support
the decision.Need this year to raise taxes to pay for the Rec centre debt for
ice making machine..hope we learn to not finance for such long periods of
time. again looking for a financial person to look for business case,
understanding there is a cost to recreation in small towns, but needs to be
balanced and inclusive for young and old, rich and poor. Think we can
increase revenues with YMCA by marketing to other municipalities.
Anonymous Drainage put into our road system.
8/27/2019 08:42 PM That was the biggest waste taking that
away but we still thought it was a good idea to pave a road with no
Drainage??? So why increase tax levy if we are doing the opposite to help
our aging infrastructure. Not making very wise decisions at town hall.

Anonymous Set a goal to pave all roads in Huron county by 2025. Then you don’t need
8/29/2019 03:50 AM graters anymore. In addition we would also be reducing the amount of gravel
road users having to wash their vehicles daily which takes strain off the water
systems and is generally better for the environment. Don’t forget your rural
tax payers pay some of the highest property taxes in the area. Make sure you
are allocating funds in rural areas. Rural property owners maintain their own
water and septic so the funds going to water, although important generally do
not apply to us.

Anonymous Cleaning up the Exeter River (Ausable River) and Morrison Reservoir. Both
9/06/2019 12:55 PM have become absolutely disgusting over the last 20 years. Be it from garbage
being thrown in it or toxic fecal runoff from farms to needless reshaping of
the Exeter River a few years ago which did nothing but turn it into a stagnant,
green/blue algae invested disgrace. Both used to be seen as Exeter's tourism
crown jewels. They have become disgusting eyesores over time and need to
be brought back to their former glory.

Goderich with pool, no slide, put on double gym, like Stoney Creek, 2 smaller
rooms for excercise classes, and meeting room, and children’s indoor play
area, and have this operated by the ymca..It is time for municipality to be
fiscally accountable by providing recreation for all, especially those in low
income, or with mental health issues, or mobility issues, and stop putting into
vanity projects like outdoor pool and Port Blake..don’t spend more, just shift
resources,, and if you aren’t capable of figuring this out, then hire, the
replace staff with someone who can help you be more efficient and
effective..hope to see this comment in the report to council for budget

Anonymous Exeter needs a dog park. There are hundreds of dogs in and around this
9/14/2019 10:40 AM town. We have many baseball and soccer fields that appear to not be fully
Page 13 of 152020 Pre-Budget Survey : Survey Report for 27 August 2019 to 17 September 2019
utilized. One of these could be fairly cheaply converted to a dog park. As far
as liability concerns for the municipality there clearly are ways to absolve
liability as many communities bigger and smaller than Exeter have dog parks.
This would also help to reduce dog owners from misusing ball parks and
soccer fields as a dog park. it would also provide a SECURE area for dogs
to run OFF leash safely for other people and the dogs. As far as funding it
I'm sure this town could fundraise this relatively easily, I've heard from many
other dog owners that wish we had a dog park, some driving as far as
London to use theirs. Perhaps some of the cost could be added in to the dog
tag fee. As a dog owner I wouldn't be upset with an increase to it as I would
be receiving an additional service that benefits me directly. You could also
use a portion of, or increase of fines etc. related to dog owner offences, (off
leash tickets, dog catcher fees, etc.) You could host some kind of annual
event to fundraise through donations. I would think this would be an easy and
fair way to please a lot of ratepayers, dog owners or not. All you need is a
fenced off grassy area not too close to houses for noise, garbage cans and
MAYBE some lighting and access to water. We DO NOT need a multi million
dollar olympic caliber recreation center/ activity hub that will continually
annually cost everyone and be under used and under supported by the
people that actually use it, while raising our already high property taxes. We
don't have the population to support this obviously. We DO have the
population to support a dog park.

Anonymous I know a major item is recreation facilities. I do not believe South Huron tax
9/16/2019 05:06 PM payers can afford nor do they need a brand new facility with every amenity
going. That being said the current facility does need upgrades or a new build
but not at the expense of other facilities that would be jeopardized. Ie if an
indoor pool were included what would happen to the outdoor pool in town or
the Kirkton pool? If meeting rooms or a gym or library were included what
would happen to the current infrastructure?
