Report#213217 received from Spriet Associates dated April 27, 2017 and filed with the Clerk on
May 12, 2017.
On July 10, 2013 a petition for drainage was filed with the Clerk from Vance Czerwinski, Bayham's
Manager of Public Works at the time. On July 18, 2013, Council appointed Spriet Associates to
make an examination of the drainage area and prepare a report for Council's consideration.
On June 1, 2017 Council decided to proceed with Notices under the Drainage Act and directed
the Clerk to mail a Notice of Public Meeting to all interested parties. A Notice of Public Meeting
dated June 2, 2017, pursuant to Chapter D17, Section 41 of the Drainage Act was prepared;
and this Notice confirmed that the Municipality will hold a Public Meeting on Thursday June 15,
2017 at 8:00 p.m. to consider the proposed construction of the drainage works known as the
Centre Street North Municipal Drain. The Notice of Public Meeting and a copy of the Engineer's
Report were mailed to:
(a) Every landowner within the area requiring drainage.
(b) Clerk of every other local municipality in which any land or road that is assessed for the
drainage works, or for which compensation or other allowances have been provided in the

(c) Any public utility, railway company or road authority that may be affected.

(d) The Director, of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.
Pursuant to Section #42 of the Drainage Act, Council of the initiating municipality shall give an
opportunity to any person to withdrawal from the petition, sign the petition or speak to the
matter. If, at the end of such Council meeting, the petition contains a sufficient number of
names to comply with Section #4, the Council may proceed to adopt the report by giving two
readings by Council to the Provisional By-law and set the date for the first sitting of the Court of
Revision.
In addition, any owner of land assessed for maintenance or repair may appeal from the
assessment contained in the Centre Street Drain — North report# 213217, which was served
upon them by regular mail on June 2, 2017.
DISCUSSION:
Following the engineer's presentation at the Public Meeting, landowners and all other affected
parties are given the opportunity to voice their concerns relating to any aspect of the report. If
for any reason the report should be reconsidered, Council may refer the report back to the
engineer.
In addition landowners in the area requiring drainage shall be given an opportunity to withdraw
or add their names to the petition. This shall include affected Municipalities if their lands or
roads are within the area requiring drainage.
If the petition does comply with Section 4, Council may proceed to adopt the report by giving
two readings to the attached Provisional By-Law.
Public Meeting was held June 15, 2017 at which time several landowners voiced concerns
relating to Engineers Report#213217. Due to the concerns brought forward Council passed the
following resolution:
"THAT Report DS-29/17 be deferred and referred back to the Municipal Engineer for
