Funding for Info Centre
The Waimarino Community Board recognised the important role of the Raetihi Information Centre when they endorsed a request for funding to help pay staff wages. Information Centre representative Barbara Anderson told the board at their monthly meeting that staff receive $5 an hour during 40 hour week. Mrs Anderson suggested that the wage could be raised to $6, with hours reduced to 32 hours, thus keeping the financial outlay at its present level. Mayor Garrick Workman said the board should be looking to work out a long-term resolution to the problem. He suggested that the in-
formation centre could be incorporated with the council's service centre. "It may well provide a solution to the problem of funding and make greater use of the service centre. The board heard that the centre had applied to the Museum Society for permission to incorporate the service with the Waimarino Museum located at the far end of Seddon Street, but had been "told bluntly that museums and information centres don't mix." Mrs Anderson said that the information centre supplements funds by doubling as a craft centre, with 10% of proceeds going towards covering wages.
