Further inspection of the culvert on the road between Lots 20 & 21 in Conc. 3,
has shown that it should be replaced, -g -S soon as convenient. Some of the
bolts are tearing away from the metal. The 'Hooker' snowplough isnot adequate

parking spaces to be provided, as well as where the entrance to the parking
is to be located. There should be.,no parking allowed on the county and town-
ship road allowances. The church use v/s farm noises and odors are are
mentioned as possible conflicts. The fragmentation of farmland and a possible
lowering.^: of land values is also a concern.
Mr. Reimer as representative of the congregation is unable to reply to all
of the concerns, but will ascertin the building size and parking requirements

the necessary zoning by-law will contain requirements that will protect the

Mrs. Olga Nagy and Andy Nagy meet with Council to request clarification on
placing a mobile home on their property at Lot 111, Conc. 6. Mr. Nagy met
with Council on April 18th., and was informed of the three month limitation
on mobiles in the municipality. Council is of the opinion that a residence
can be erected for the use of temporary farm employees during that time.
However, if this bunkhouse type of accomodation is not completed but a
satisfactory start has been made Council will consider a temporary extension
over this time limit.
Mr. Robt. Moore, County Engineer, meets with Council to review his findings
on replacing the culvert between Lots 20/21 in Conc. 3. He has determined
that a 7� foot culvert will be sufficient in that location. He is of the
opinion that soil testing should be carried out before the culvert is
tendered. He also feels that a multi -plate type culvert should be used in
this location.
Mr. Harold Dennis, fire chief, meets with Council to review fire matters.
He has obtained quotations for 8 pagers and the required encoder for the
department. These are felt to be necessary because of the poor response to
the telephone system during working hours. Quotations are:
Motorola Limited $42590.30

The above prices do not include sales taxes. Mr. Dennis will be absent
during the week of May 6th., which is the annual conference of fire chiefs.
Mr. James Gibbons, road superintendent, meets with Council to review road
matters. He reports that the Beattie Bridge is in need of new stringers and
planking. Also, there is some brushing necessary along the river bank. He
reports that he.has already received several complaints regarding dust. Mr.
Gibbons and Robt. Bartlett will be attending road school from May 5 to 8.
Mr. Jos. Cnockaert meets with Council to further discuss the requested
fence between his and the library properties. He. has presented quotations
for several different fences on April 18th. As Council does not feel the
necessity of a fence as strongly as Mr. Cnockaert, it is decided to give
Mr. Cnockaert the sum of $500. and he can erect the type of fence which
most suits his needs. This is agreeable with Mr. Cnockaert.

Delegations:
James Gibbons, road superintendent, meets with Council to review road
matters. The culvert has been installed on the road between Lots 20 & 215
in Conc. 3, and the water diverted to flow through the culvert. If the
top plates of the old culvert are removed and the culvert filled and
compacted, it will not bie necessary to relocate the hydro pole'tcorrespondence
No. 4) at a cost of over $1,600. Council authorizes Mr. Gibbons to proceed
in this manner. With the recent rain, a washout has been started in the
Beattie sideroad near the old dumping site. It may be necessary to place
catchLasins and tile to correct this problem. Because of the shortage of
funds, it is now necessary to lay off the temporary employees.
t
Robert MC.Caig, representing Advance Container Ltd., meets with Council to
discuss problems at the transfer station. The Reeve: has received several

the contaiTiers are not being removed quickly enough when filled. It is
decided that the station will be opened 5 days each week from 7: a.m. to
8: p.m. for a 30 day try out at no extra expense except labour. The situation
will then be reviewed with Mr. McCaig when it will be possible to have
increased usage and tonnage figures available. This is the second year of
a five year contract.
Hugh Ketchabaw, drain inspector, meats with Council to review drainage
matters. The Nevill Drain construction is 95`iL completed. Repairs by the
contractor are necessary at the school yard on the recently completed
Eden Drain. Repairs to the Bartley Drain are scheduled to start on Sept. 9th.
Harold Dennis, fire chief, meets with Council to review fire matters. With
the resignation of Robt. Grant from the department, he is recommending that
Merlyn Norris be appointed Deputy Chief, and Max Wolfe be appointed Captain.
Council will consider these recommendations at the next meeting. The pagers

Wm. Underhill, Building Inspector, me,:!ts with Council to present his building
report. A septic tank has been located on the property of Geo. Gilvesy which

matters. He :.nquires as to the feasibility of having snow removal on the

culvert on the road through Conc. 3, and Mr. Gibbons will be placing more
as this settles. He has checked with a representative of Natural Resource
Gas Ltd. and the line has been replaced on the road be'ween Concessions
