TENTH MEETING Special Meeting APRIL 23, 1976.
A Special Meeting was called at 1:00 p.m., on Friday, April 23, 1976, in the
Municipal Office, to meet with Mr. Robert Collins of the Ministry of Culture
and Recreation, London Office.
PRESENT: Councillors: K. Matthews, A. Loucks, G. Pace
the Clerk Treasurer.
Mr. Collins'visit was to explain Municipal allotments for Recreational Grants
and to go over with us the Village's application for an Experience '76 Grant for
the Port Burwell Day Camp.
He explained that the FIRST requirement under Regulatign 200 of the Department of
Education Act, Programs and Recreation, is for Council to ESTABLISH A RECREATION,
PARKS AND COMMUNITY CENTRES COMMITTEE, by By—Law. This amalgamates all committees
under one. i.e. Parks3Committee Community Centre Committee, Sports Club, etc.
(A copy of this Act is attached.)
With this By—Law and establishment of the Recreational Committee, the following
grants may be received'
1/3 of up to $5,000 on staff salaries. i.e. a Playground Instructor — Grant $3,300.
An Arts and Crafts Program held on Saturdays only also would be eligible for a grant.
} of Annual cost of Maintenance in the Community Centre — i.e. Public Works mowing
of grass, debris clean—up, etc. not subsidized by Roads, is eligible for a grant,
in the following year.
Full and Part Time Secretarial Staff — 1/3 grant of salary paid.
The Municipal Recreation, Parks and Community Centre Committee is appointed by
Council and may have from 5 to 12 members. At least 2 members must be elected members
of Council.
DAY CAMP ESTABLISHMENT — 1976
We apparently overestimated on salaries and expenditures and this was amended to a
more realistic figure. The amended total of estimated expenditures is now $2,540.00.
Emphasis was placed on the fact that Day Camp programs have been operated for 7 years
under the Opportunity for Youth Group, and could have been municipally operational by
now.
After discussion, it was determined that the operation of a Day Camp this year, would
require four to five Counsellors for approximately 70 to 100 children ages 5 to 12 years
of age. Mr. Collins stated that if the Grant is approved for this year, the Village
would then be eligible for only 2/3 of the cost next year. Over a three year period
the Ministry would want the Village to pick up all of the costs for this program.
This year's Day Camp was established as from June 28, 1976 to July 30, 1976, or a
period of five weeks. /he fee waa tet, A 82.00.
Since the children involved with Day Camp come from Vienna, Bayham and Port Burwell,
Mr. Collins felt that something could possibly be arranged with Vienna on a cost—sharing
basis and that Vienna Council would have to do the same thing by By—Law in setting up
their Recreational Committee. Bayham Township already has this Committee in effect.
It was advised that Port Burwell get together with Bayham Township and Vienna Councils
to request that Mr. Don Reid of the Ministry of Culture and Recreation come down for11110
a meeting to explain the role and function of a Recreational Committee, thereby making
one trip to this area instead of three.
In conclusion of the meeting, K. Matthews, asked about Grants for an Arena. Mr.
Collins referred to the Community Recreational Centres Act, Winterio, and Federal
Government under the Winter Works Program. He stated, however, that before any plans
for an arena were made, research be done, before any building take6place.
We will be advised in a week to ten days, if our grant for Experience 76' is approved.
ADJOURNMENT: It was moved by A. Loucks, seconded by G. Pace, that this Special
Meeting be adjourned until the next Regular Meeting, unless in case
of an emergency. Time: 2:30 p.m. CARRIED.

FOURTEENTH MEETING Special Government Study Meeting MAY 17, 1976.
PRESENT: Mr. S. H. Janes, Commissioner, Elgin County Government Study
Council: Reeve R. Bradfield, K. Matthews, T. Lama, G. Pace, and the Clerk.
Vienna Council: Reeve K. Emerson, Councillors A. Hartman, Clerk Vi Van Belois.
Bayham Council: Reeve M. Schafer,8ouncillors G. Teal, M. Stewart and the
Clerk Jack Petrie.
Newspaper: M. Tessier, Tillsonburg News.
Mr. Janes reviewed the Elgin County Interim Report of the Elgin County Government
Study.
ALTERNATIVES PRESENTED: -
1. REGIONAL GOVERNMENT: 14 municipalities constituting an upper
tier or Regional Council, comprising 30 to 40 members directly
elected on a ward or area municipal basis.
2. ONE TIER: This would involve the dissolution of the lower tier
of area municipalities including the city of St. Thomas, and
placement of responsibility for provision of practically all
local government services with County—wide administration.
3. LARGE SCALE AMALGAMATION: This involves the retention of the
present two tier system — a number of local or area municipali—
ties, including St. Thomas, as well as an area—wide or County
administration.
4. SMALL SCALE AMALGAMATION: This would allow the continuation of
the present two tier system — 10 municipalities comprised of:
Population
1. Aldborough, Rodney, W. Lorne 8,593
2. Dunwich, Dutton 5,995
3. Southwold 16,244
4. Yarmouth 11,761
5. City of St. Thomas 52,403
6. South Dorchester, Belmont 3,398
7. Aylmer 9,279
8. Malahidy, Springfield 9,279
9. Bayham Township, Vienna, Port Burwell 7,653
10. Port Stanley 3,247
i.e.: # 9 — Council would comprise an equal representation on
Council for Bayham, Vienna, and Port Burwell, elected by
Ward system.
EVALUATION:
Mr. Janes suggested, that the Small Scale amalgamation offered the most for the
least amount of change from the present municipal operations. Savings being
seen in administrative costs, public works, utilities and other areas, with
larger government grants being accessible on this basis.
Mr. Janes emphasized that nothing would be imposed on municipalities as to the
above alternatives and that Public Meetings would be set up in the near future
to bring this before the public.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting adjourned at 11:05 p.m.

FIFTEENTH - MEETING Second Special Budget Meeting MAY 21, 1976.
The second Special Budget Meeting was called to attempt to strike the mill rate,
on Friday, May ;l, 1976, at 1:00 p.m. The meeting was called to order at 2:00
p.m.
K• H Ai-07'tw'S
PRESENT: Reeve R. Bradfield, A. Loucks, T. Lama, 8s-Paae and the Clerk.
Auditor Mr. Clark.
Council deliberated in several areas to try to further decrease the mill-rate.
AREAS OUTSIDE COUNCIL'S CONTROL:
Increases set by: COUNTY - 4 mills
PUBLIC SCHOOL - 6 mills
SEC/SEP.SCHOOLS - -7 mills
Debentures Erosion - VILLAGE - 10 mills
OTHER PROBLEM AREAS BEYOND CONTROL:
1. Higher costs for services and utilities
2. Loss of $10,000 assessment due to cottages fallen in lake and
Government purchase of land formerly privately assessed.
The Auditor explained that Council had held the taxes pretty well in line for the
last three years, seeing a small increase of 7 mills last year due to the Break-
water Construction. This has now caught up with us because the Village has lost
so much and costs have continued to rise. This year, the Village has not only
been slapped with $21,000 in additional levies, but repayment of debentures and
loss of assessment have added to the situation.
In order to suppress a possible increase of 43 mills, which Council felt the
Village could not bear, other areas of revenue were- delved into. A Village
water surplus fund of $10,000; a Special fund from the sale of the Shakespeare
St. lot to be used "when needed to be spent wisely"; and a surplus account set
up in prior years were all reviewed to be used to further decrease the mill rate.
The Auditor will go over these areas and will advise Council within a week or
two, at which time, hopefu»y, the mill rate will arrive at a "possible" 29 mill
rate increase instead'of 43.
Mr. Clark felt that Council had arrived at an extremely good compromise in a very
difficult budget year.
OTHER BUSINESS:
MOTION #1: Moved by K. Matthews, seconded by A. Loucks, that the Village
authorize three persons to attend the 1976 Property Standards

NINETEENTH COUNCIL MEETING Regular Meeting JULY 12, 1976.
•
The Regular Council Meeting scheduled for July 5, 1976 was postponed to July 12,
1976, due to a conflicting meeting on the former date. The meeting was held in
the Municipal Office on Monday July 12, 1976, at 7:30 p.m.
•
PRESENT: Reeve R. Bradfield, A. Loucks K. Matthews Tony Lama
G. Pace the Clerk
Visitors:Dr. W. Freeman, Engineer of the Breakwater Project
J. Farlow, Q.C., Village Legal Advisor
M. Tessier, Tillsonburg News Reporter, and Norman Loucks.
BREAKWATER — Guaranteed Maintenance:
A letter from Logan Contracting Company was read. The Contractor
agreed to re—position the displaced stones in the Fall of 1976,
although they are not convinced that this is their responsibility.
In return they require a letter waiving further maintenance which
would terminate their warranty at that date, instead of Feb. 1977.
Dr. Freeman stated it was difficult for him, as the Engineer, to
say the Contractor is responsible, due to the severity of the Fall
1975 storm. He added, that there is no doubt the wall is working
well, but the Village should expect to do some ongoing maintenance.
Mr. Farlow and the Council felt that the storm was severe, but
emphasized that it was a "normal" type storm for this area. They
agreed that a maintenance program should be planned, but not until
after the Contract has expired.
Mr. Farlow advised Council, as follows:
1. To ask the Contractor to replace the stones as soon as possible
as per the Contract.
2. That Council decline acceptance of the waiver of further main—
• tenance prior to the Contract expiry date.
It was noted that photographs of the wall will be scheduled in
• January 1977 for proof of disrepair, before the Contract runs out.
Motion #1: Moved by K. Matthews, seconded by A. Loucks; Resolved: that Council
re—confirm to the Engineer, the terms of the existing Contract con—
cerning the erosion control facilities and advise that Council spe—
cifically requests the Engineer to convey Council's wishes to the
Contractor involved. CARRIED.
DRAINAGE: Drainage in and around the Murray Alward, Fern Hill/Joyce Farlow
properties was discussed. Mr. Farlow recommended that Council con—
sider engaging a Drainage Engineer to conduct a preliminary examine—
tion, only, of the area. Council has authority through the Municipal
Act, the Drainage Act and the Local Improvement Act and must decide
which method to use. He further recommended that the owners be
referred to the Drainage Act, to petition Council, whereby cost for
a drain would be added to petitioning ratepayers' taxes under local
improvements.
BUILDING PERMITS: There were 4 building permits totalling $10,800 value in May.
There were 2 building permits totalling 5,000 value and
five demolition permits in the month of June.
Motion #2: Moved by A. Loucks, seconded by T. Lama, that in accordance with
Section 352, Paragraph 65 of the Municipal Act, Norman Loucks be
paid half of a total of 45 sick time days which i3 22k- accumulated
days at $36.00 a day, equaling $810.00. These benefits were moti—
vated by By—law in March 1970 and cover the period March 1970 to
July 15, 1976. CARRIED.
Motion #3: Moved by G. Pace, seconded by T. Lama, that the minutes of the
16th Regular Council Meeting held June 7, 1976; the minutes of
the 17th Special Meeting held June-8, 1976, as amended, and the

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES:
Reeve's Report: There was a brief discussion on the Government Study Meeting.
Harbour Dredging: The Reeve read a disappointing letter from
John Wise enclosing a letter from M.H..Moffatt, Small Craft Har—
bours, stating it is not reasonable for them to recommend dredging
of the harbour, due to the cost and small number of commercial
fishermen. In addition, "serious consideration would be given to
relocating our fishing craft to Port Dover or Port Stanley". The
Reeve stated that this Council will not give up, but will personally
pursue the matter to Ottawa, or by any other means, if necessary.

each Municipality signing individual]y with St. Thomas Sanitary
Collection Services Limited, if adopted.

Lama's severance, appealed by O.M.B. was ruled in favour of 0.M.B.
with Land Division set aside.
Recreational Committee: A $200.00 donation received from Bayham Township Council,
was designated by them for summer recreation instead of Day Camp,
as they felt that Bayham people use the Ball Park and equipment. A
meeting to set up the committee will be scheduled as soon as it can
be coordinated with vacations of interested people.
Da Ca : K. Matthews reported that this seems to be successful with
40 — 60 registrations expected. A donation of $50. from Vienna

The Chairman, Larry Martin, asked Reeve Bradfield to state his views re
dredging of the Harbour. The Reeve reviewed events since the meeting with Small Craft
Harbours, J. Wise, Elgin County Council's Erosion Control Committee, R. Seawright and
Port Burwell Council, on July 27th, in the Municipal Office. He stated that ways and
means had been sought by Council to promote growth and development of the Village,
which could only be done by having the Harbour dredged. At the same time, the Village
wishes to retain the fishermen. He added that the Council had requested Mr. John Wise,
to present a "proposal" on behalf of Council, at this meeting.
Mr. Wise recapitulated all past efforts taken to try to persuade Small Craft
Harbours to dredge Port Burwell Harbour. He reviewed financial reasons for the Govern—
ment's refusal to do so. In a persuasive, but persistent manner, Mr. Wise stated it is
Small Craft Harbour's responsibility to assist the Village in economic growth, adding
that they have a moral obligation to this area.
Mr. Moffatt concurred with Mr. Wise's statment, adding that the Government has
a moral responsibility to all small craft harbours in support of the fishermen, areas of
recreation and marinas, however, he added, what financial monies are "put in by the
Government, they expect to get out again". In Port Burwell, fishing only, is involved.
- He stated that fishing simply does not pay in Port Burwell. Additionally, his agency saw
the need for dredging in Port Burwell, but also saw that the costs had doubled and that the
walls of the Harbour are in very bad shape. Therefore, it was not felt they could come up
with a solution to Port Burwell's dredging problem, other than the alternatives proposed
at the July 27th meeting with Council and other representatives. Briefly, the three
alternatives consisted of:
a) construction of a diversionary, low level sheet steel pile wall across the
Big Otter Creek near the old C.P.R. loading ramp, at an estimated cost of
$650,000.
b) similar proposal to "a" with estimated cost of $750,000.
c) construction of a new basin on the west side of the harbour, at an estimated
cost of $1,100,000.
Small Craft Harbours felt if the Fishermen would not accept alternatives given
then their only other option would be to develop Port Bruce, at a lower cost than dredging
Port Burwell. In view of Dofasco's eventual development of docks, a recreational facility
nearby seemed the best solution, rather than sinking more and more funds into dredging Port
Burwell. Mr. Moffatt stated that the Government would rather develop a recreational area,
with a marina, etc., as it feels they receive their moeny back on the initial investment.
In summation, Mr. Moffatt felt that development of the Otter Creek would alleviate
the silting problem, here, but this would still cost a lot of money and would involve the
Provincial aspect of expenditure.
Mr. Moffatt stated that there was no basis for dredging Port Burwell on facts
already discussed. He felt if the Fishermen could not accept the alternatives presented,
then he could see no other, except to close the Harbour down completely. Finally, he
had to make a recommendation to the Minister of Fisheries on Port Burwell and whatever was
decided here tonight would be presented to Mr. LeBlanc, as final.
26TH MEETING Elgin Fishermen's Association Meeting SEPT. 7, 1976 .`.„
There was a question and answer period with fishermen posing their con—
cerns to Mr. Moffatt. The Village boat builder enquired as to his lifetime busi—
ness becoming worthless under such an outcome, as did the fish retail outlet
owner. The Fishermen emphasized the fact they would not accept the alternatives
offered, especially having to dock just inside the harbour instead of present
locations.
The Federal representative, Mr. Moffatt, suggested Provincial possibili—
ties of assistance. Mr. Ron McNeil, M.P.P. as Provincial representative, stated
the Harbour is Federal responsibility and it is their obligation to keep the Har—
bour open. In an interplay of words from all facets at the meeting, the problem
was not resolved.
Mr. Wise stated, that at that point, he felt Council's "proposal" should be
posed in an effort to find the solution.
BRIEF: (A copy is on file in the Municipal Office.)
Mr. Wise read the "offer" which, in effect, requested $200,000.00 from the
Federal Government so that the Village could purchase a "Mudcat" dredge at approxi—
mately $100,000. dredging the Harbour themselves, with local labour, developing the
Harbour, repairing harbour walls, building docks and creating a marina, with the
balance of the funds requested. This could mean the Village would become a Recrea—
tional area. Three phases of development were outlined by Mr. Wise.
Council has evolved organizational means for this development, using all
local labour and equipment at cheaper costs than Government estimates.
Mr. Moffatt stated that this "proposal" has shed a new light on the situa—
tion and that first he would have to study the "Brief". The one obstacle to what
might be the answer to the dredging problem, was that there seemed to be no govern—
ment provision for such a grant to the Village, to purchase the "Mudcat". The Reeve
stated that the Villagers definitely could not bear the costs as they were already
overburdened.
Mr. Moffatt agreed to study the proposal and inform the Village of the results.
ADJOURNMENT: The Meeting adjourned at 9:45 p.m.
