The Municipality of South Bruce is trying to figure out what to do about its financial stake in the Bruce, Grey and Huron Disability Transportation Corporation.
Mayor Bill Goetz says since South Bruce left the organization at the end of March, with one quarter of the year nearly complete, the municipality is likely obligated to pay its share of costs for the first three months of the year.
Goetz says South Bruce is still not part of the organization, but the five mayors on its board of directors keep him informed on what is happening.
Goetz says their information is designed to help South Bruce make sure they have the “ins and outs” if it decides to rejoin the corporation, but he stresses no decision has been made to rejoin.
South Bruce would have been responsible for over 30 thousand dollars of the municipal funding for the disability transit agency this year, or 25 percent of the cost for the total number of municipalities involved.
The municipality has received an invoice for over 75 hundred dollars to cover the costs from January to March of this year.
The Bruce, Grey, and Huron Disability Transit Corporation has been struggling to continue to provide services in the face of sharp declines in provincial funding.
