A special meeting of Bayham Township Council is held this evening for the
purpose of consideration of the report on the Eden Drains and review of
the impact study on reassessment under section 63 of the Assessment Act.
Reeve M. Stewart presides with Deputy Reeve J. Volkaert and Councillors
V. Chute, R. Green and R. Sandham in attendance. V
Those in attendance for the drain report are: Lee Locker, Darlene
Behtley, Tom Aspden, Jim Andrews, Jim MacDonald, Helen Ball, Wilford
Burwell, Fostor Langhor, Wm. Baldwin, Jerome Donais and Thelma Roy.
John Spriet presents the report which has been circulated to all those
assessed for costs. Jim MacDonald does not see that he has any benefit
from the drain and should not be assessed. Mr. Spriet shows him the
portion of his property which benefits. He also recommends that a further
petition be presented for those persons easterly f'rcm the railroad property
to improve that area.
Wilfoid Burwell requests that a branch be provided to give outlet to a
low spot on the Baptist Church property. Mr. Spriet suggests that the
most economical way for the church to get drainage is to install a catch
basin and have a run of tile to the catch basin at the school boundary
which has an outlet provided for this purpose.
It is pointed out that Mr. J. Donais has been assessed for two lots and
Mr. R. Blondeel's lot missed. The clerk is instructed to correct the
assessment schedules.
Those in attendance now recommend that the drain be proceeded with to the
court of revision at which time those not in agreement with their assessments
can appeal,
Messrs. M. Quinn, Robt. Winter and T. Calaghan representing the Regional
Assessment Office present the impact study as prepared as a result of
Council's request in January of 1984. While there are certain properties
which are going to have significant changes (both increase and decrease),
they are somewhat fewer than in the reassessment in 1979. Market values
are now adjusted to 1980.
After consideration concil is in agreement that the Minister should be
requested to implement the study.

information on proposed legislation which will impose a licence fee on

Brian Goutouski, representing Butland Farms Ltd., owners of the property at
Lot 15, Conc. 3, on the hill overlooking Vienna, meets with Council to discuss
the erosion problem at that location. The Long Point Region Conservation
Authority has conducted a study and presented a report offering several methods
of remedying the situation. The recommendations are considered expensive

The recommendations suggested can be utilized at any time in the future if
it is necessary.
