1CTH CCUNCIL/FISFERKEN MEETING APRIL 2, 1979.
A meeting was held with Council Members and Fishermen of the area, to dis—
cus. Dredging operations. The meeting was called to order at 3:00 p.m.
PRESENT: Reeve R. Bradfield
Councillors: V. Bates, J. Smyth, H. Alward, G. Loucks
Harbour Committee: George Lockrey
Dredge Captain: Chester Fizzard
1111 Fishermen: Larry Martin, Robert Hamilton, Randy Hamilton,
Frank Williams, John Warren, Bob Foote, Jim Warren, Phil
Bucheski, Fd Long, Jerry Bolduc.
The Reeve reported that the Dredge is ready for action, with just a couple
of minor problems to be cleared up.
All Fishermen were in agreement that the Dredging should commence just out—
side of the Harbour, along the East Side of the West Pier, in order to form
a channel for the boats heading out into the lake:
Depth should be 8' or more to accomodate the Underwater Gas boats, as well
as the larger fish boats. It was suggested that the silt could be pumped
over the rocks of the West Pier, and also onto lands originally covered
with coal. The Dredge Captian would like to make a channel of 200' running
north and south, if possible.
There may not be enough floating pipe, as there is only a supply on hand of
280'. 1000' would be the more appropriate amount to do the job thoroughly. •
The problem of getting an anchor out to the dredge was solved when Frank
Williams offered his boat. It is hoped that the dredge can be secured by
cable to the west pier with the anchor in place on the east side of the
Dredge.
Dan Minor has made an offer of a 2-way radio for the dredge. This will be
of great help for contacting the fish boats by the dredge captain. Also
contacts could be made to the Clerk's office in case of emergency.
The problem of financing the dredge operation came up. The Reeve reported
that the budget for same was apt to run very snort before the dredging was
finished. The fishermen offered to donate money to help with the project.
Council was asked to decide on the amount. Boats from other locations,
using the Harbour, would be asked to pay a fee. This money would be desig—
nated as a dredging charge to overcome any possible problems that might arise
through the collection of same.
It was agreed that the Harbour Committee Meetings should begin as soon as
possible again.

The meeting adjourned at 4:30 p.m.

and the Clerk.
Visitors: Mr. Lyle Willard, Min. of Nat. Resources, Iroquois Beach Park.
Don Mole Jr., Jim Hevenor, Ken Roesch, Ken Matthews, Bob Foote.
Mr. Willard: The Park Superintendent reported on Iroquois Beach Provincial '
Park activities for the year 1978. The Park is still operating'
with 232 Camp Sites, with no plans in sight to expand. A reduc—
tion in camp usage in 1978 was assumed to be due to an increase
last year in Provincial rates. Approximately 1600 Camper days •
or 500 camp sites were occupied and the July/August percentage
occupancy rate since 1974 has held at approximately 329 . An
ideal rate is 60%. A discussion arose on the access roads to
the Travis and Holdsworth properties which is part of Park pro—
perty. The Park does not object to their using these, or to
maintaining the roads for their use.
Mr. Willard reported further on staffing and a Patrol Officer
hired for the Park. Iroquois Beach Park will open May 11, 1979
and be barricaded on September 3, 1979.
There are no specific plans by the Ministry of Natural Resources
for the South West Harbour Property. A private Marina enterprise
would be welcomed to the Village, by Park officials.
Don Mole Jr.:Don Mole complained that his neighbor is laying barn lumber along
their fenced property line. He disapproved of this due to the
fact he thought it looked unsightly, and that he would now have
to move his driveway over. Council felt that the overall picture
of what is being done, does not look that bad and that the owners
were trying to upgrade their property. It was felt this was a
private property dispute, however Council agreed to enquire from
Municipal World to see if there are any laws against using lumber
for fill.
Ken Roesch: K. Roesch,as one of three telephoned complainants concerning the
inconsistent times of garbage pick up, asked Council why the new
service was not of the same calibre as the former. There was
general discussion and Mr. McCaig will be advised to request the
new contractor to improve his service.
$ob Foote: There was discussion of the Erosion on the Otter river north of
the Village. Mr. Foote suggested Harbour Dredging alternatives
to the silt problem, which originates in that area. This would
involve Longpoint Region Conservation Authority, Vienna and Bay—
ham Council's cooperative efforts. Mr. Foote reported that Kolby
Fish Company wishes to expand re perch fishing in this area. In
order to make it safe for the fishing boats he felt at least an
80' wide channel is needed for the type of boats they wish to use;
and a minimum depth of 10'.

13TH SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 10, 1979.
A Special Council Meeting was called on Tuesday, Aril 10, 1979, at 7 p.m.
in the Municipal Office.
MOE: Reeve R. Bradfield
Councillors: V. Bates, J. Smyth, G. Loucks and the Clerk
• Recreational Board: F. Waldeck
Harbour Committee: G. Lockrey, L. Martin. . .
Iroquois Beach Provincial Park: L. Willard, Superintendent
Tillsonburg News: J. Hevenor
Port Burwell Marina Incorporated: Mr. J. Walker, President
Absent: Councillor H. 0. Alward
Mr. John Walker, President and General Manager of the newly formed company,
the Port Burwell Marina Incorporated, was introduced to Council.
He advised that his Company had offered to purchase the 22 acres of Harbour
land from Marathon Realty. This offer has been accepted, with a closing
date expected on May 15, 1979. He assured Council that'his Company has a
financially solid backing.
Mr. Walker stated that after 5 years of searching for the right location, he
felt Port Burwell was the ideal and obvious site for leisure craft Marina •
development.
•
The Council asked Mr. Walker why he had chosen this Port. He stated that •
after reading many Marine publications, the 1958 Edition of "Great Lakes
Pilot" fourth Edition, issued by the Canadian Hydrographic Service, Dept. of
Mines and Technical Surveys, Ottawa, referred to Port Burwell as "the best
Harbour on the North Shore of Lake Erie, with the exception of Port Colbourne".
Most of the marine manuals stated the fact that an 8 feet Harbour depth is
mandatory for this Harbour.
London Branch of the Ministry of Industry and Tourism had also indicated to
him the potential for development of this Har our, as a decidedly needed
Tourism facility, between London and Kitchener.
His Company would be preparing this year for 100 slips for boats and yacnts,
with priority given to winter storage facilities. Expansion plans will accom—
modate 500 boats. Most of the craft will be sail boats, with an average of
3- persons per boat. He noted that an influx of tourists of this type will
create a tremendous burden upon the Village, and asked for Council's help to
create a beautifully landscaped Marina, in their midst. A good financial
return is expected on his Company's $750,000.00 investment. At $7.00 per
slip, daily, in dockage fees alone, sales of hardware, sales of new boats,
canoe and paddle boat rentals, perhaps a small railroad engine for tourists,
boat launching ramp, laundrateria, gourmet restaurant, bar and motel; Winter
accommodations and Cross Country Skiing in the.Provincial Park, etc., it must
be complete and ready to go, in order to get tourists to come. Jobs and
private enterprise will be created and encouraged.
The Marina will have 7 runs, commencing slightly north of the widest part of
the inner Harbour. A road will be re—formed, with soil removed from slips,
along the bottom land running north and south of Bridge Street, as an access
to the Marina.

13TH SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 10, 1979. 11111
Mr. Walker empha s zed that he had two areas of deep concern: i
1. Dredging of the Harbour - 8' to 10' is a must.
2. Sewers are an absolute necessity in order to dispose of the effluent
•
that would be generated by the Marina.
Leased Lands: The Lessees will be allowed to remain. There is no fore-
seeable problem to Marina activity and fishermen, as the fish boats leave
the Harbour during the early morning hours. In time, it might be necessary
to shift some of the Lessees to other areas, but they will be accommodated
and can easily co-habitate with the Marina.
Underwater Gas Developers: Mr. Walker was informed by Council of a recent
resolution agreeing to sub-lease 5 acres of Federal Lands on the West Side
of the Harbour to Underwater Gas for a Helicopter Pad. He felt that a
helicopter in the middle of the Marina would be undesirable, due to the dust
and noise exacted from same. He suggested the pad be accommodated on the
southern end of the West side of the Harbour, so that an evergreen barrier
could be erected between the two sites. This was the reason he came prior
to closing to see the Council. Mr. Walker stated that his Company also
wishes to to lease these 5 acres of Federal Land. Mr. Walker did feel that .
the Marina and Underwater Gas could also co-exist in the Harbour and that
adjustments could possibly be worked out, with possible re-location of the
Gas Company from mid-marina areas.
In conclusion, Mr. Walker reported that until the mid-May closing date, there
was not much more he could relate, since there were Government approvals and
licenses to secure and other plans he had not yet drafted up. His intentions
are to return to the Village the first part of May to arrange for lodoing
and to prepare for commencement of construction of the Marina.
Council thanked Mr. Walker for coming prior to the closing date, upon their
request, for relating his plans and for his enthusiastic interest in Port
Burwell.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting adjourned at 9:30 p.m.

per month flat rate and $7.00 per month Comercial Rate. The median Household
Rate for other Municipalities is around $12.50 per month per Household. It is
315.00 in London.
The increased gallonage rate for the Village will add $2.50 to the present $6.50
eq'Al'•fng a minimum of $9.00 that would have to be charged, plus the calculation
of other increased operating costs, such as 2 past billing increases from P.U.C.
and water meter reading and repair salaries, etc.
I it is indicated that a minimum raise per housefold for flat rate would be a mini— '
mum of $10.00 per month.

16TH COUNCIL MEETING MAY 14, 1979.
The Regular Meeting of the Port Burnell Council was held on Monday, May 14,
1979, at 7:30 p.m., in the Municipal Office.
PRESENT: Reeve R. Bradfield
Councillors: V. Bates, H.O. Alward, J. Smyth, G. Loucks and
the Clerk.
Visitors: A. Clarke, Auditor, Karen Monck, Jack Robbins, Dave Scholte.
PUDGET: A total Preliminary Budget of $218,6701 including 60,247 for
Fducation and 22,210 for County Levy, and an Assessment base of
785,225, was further reviewed by Council.
Council, having to live with the current base of 6 mills for County • '
School levy increases, endeavored to contain the 1979 mill rate
increase within a total minimum df 10 mills. On an average 1684 • •
assessment, this would indicate an tncrgase of $16.62. •
Council felt with a four mill Village rate increase, in addition
to the use of a $20,000. water term deposit, on hand, the neces—
sity to debenture the $20,661.62 Village expense of the Breakwater
Extension, would be eliminated. Council reasoned that the savings
of interest on loan debenturing, would justify the action and an
amount of $4000. was budgeted within the 4 mills, so that repayment
of the water term deposit can be made over the next few budget years.
Mr. Robbins: Mr. Jack Robbins attended to request Council to clean up the ravine
area near his property, which he felt was mosquito infested. Council
will investigate the matter.
MOTION, #1: Moved by J. Smyth, seconded by V. Bates, that the following Minutes

MR. JAMES ROSS - Council had no objections to the enlargement by
seven feet of one of the three cottages on the lot.
MR. R. HEDGES -(the former Knelson Property) Mr. Hedges is planning
to re-sell this property and since the house is still not up to
livable standards, the Building Inspector questioned the issuance
of another permit. Council felt there would be•no problem as long
as the house is upgraded prior to habitation and that the permit
should be issued to the registered owner performing the work.
(A report on two OHRP Applications will be covered under the OHRP
section of the minutes.)
SAM'S PLACE - on the East Beach has been sold by Mrs. Ferris. This
building is not a building per se, but merely a hamburger stand of
low grade structure. The washrooms on this property were discussed.

is a problem for the Building Inspector to handle.
BUSINESS ARISING OUT OF THE MINUTES:

indicate how much land is there. At the start of the Travis pro-
perty there is 18' and at the Holdsworth property 8 feet, re access.

tain the road around the Travis property. Alternately, if the County
would place fill along the road access, it would be a solution. Fur-
ther investigation will be done.

Insurance Review.

costs were justified. Council had obtained prior legal advice wherein
a portion of the bill was not considered a fair billing. The Reeve
asked to negotiate further with Crothers Limited an the matter.
• UNDERWATER GAS LEASE: The Sub-Lease Agreement for the Helicopter Pad area was
discussed. The Clerk was requested to find out if stationary cons-
tructed items such as the pad could be left on the site should the

22ND REGIAAR COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 18, 1979.
--------------
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES:
fes: The Reeve recommended that pins be sent to the two men who
saved the young girl from drowning — Mr. Mike Gregory and
Mr. Greg Marchand — and that an appropriate letter be sent
commending their heroic efforts.
JOAD SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT: H. Alward reported that Len Brown's sidewalk
and also the old lawn mower had both)been repaired.
ThMOTION #4: Moved by H. 0. Alward, seconded by V. Bates, that Reeve Bradfield
and Councillor Jack Smyth be given authority to purchase a6000
gallon oil tank from Sterling Fuels, Port Stanley if found ade.-
quate for Port Burwell's requirements — cost of the same to be
billed to the Village. 2011101 • .
0.H.R.P.: WILLIAM ADAMS' OHRP application was discussed. the Building
Inspector estimated.costs of up to $20,000. to bring this house
up to good standards. Council felt this application was beyond
the capability of the OHRP Program and also the owner's debt level
possibilities over the maxim loan allowance.
GEORGE LOQCREY'S OHRP application ran into snags when the contrao—
for failed to install the window wells to complete the job at a
cost of $150.00. Other work had been completed June 15, 1978.
The cheque for $150.00 had been issued March 16, 1979 to Mr. Lockrey
and Gilbert's Custom Finishing, and Mr. Lockney had retained the
cheque until the work would have been done. The Company has now
folded and Mr. Lockrey requested that he be issued a new cheque in
his name only, to do the work himself, or else to have the $150.00
deducted from his loan. The latter would entail giving him a refund
of the $138.58 repayable portion he had repaid and also the re-
processing of his application forms. The window wells are necessary
due to drainage problems. This matter was referred to the 0.H.R.P.
Chairman for further investigation.
Other Committees: Canada Works, Fire Hall, Planning Board — nil reports.
RECREATIONAL BOARD: G. Trucks stated the",- had made a good profit on the Carnival
but that Village attendance could have been better. Profits will be
used to purchase lights for the Ball Park.
CORRESPONDENCE: Several items of correspondence were read, and filed.
A letter from G. Seghers Insurance Company was read re a Village
Insurance quote, stating their position is hampered in that they
do not know whether the Village has replacement costs coverages,
and Co—Insurance. Council will contact Frank Cowan Company to see
if they would be interested in doing an insurance review for the
Village.
A letter from Business Computers was signed for taxes to be looked
after next year.
Resource Management Seminar — No one planned to attend.
NEW BUSINESS: The Woodstock Tornado Relief Fund was discussed as to aspects of
a donation to this worthy cause. 'Notices will be placed around the
Village to see the results of donations accepted at the Municipal
Office for the fund. Pending these results, Council will then decide
what amount should be donated to this fund.
MOTION #5: Moved by J. Smyth, seconded by V. Bates, that this regular meeting +'
of Council be adjourned until the next regular meeting unless a
Special Meeting is called. TIME: 11:17 p.m. ANILM.

23RD COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1979.
A Special Meeting of Council was held in :he Municipal Office on Wednesday,
August 22, 1979, at 7:30 p.m. Council waadvised that the Reeve would be
delayed and an Acting Chairman will be apointed until his arrival.
PRESENT: Reeve R. Bradfield Councillors: H. Alward, V. Bates, G. Loucks
J. Smyth and the Clerk
Visitors: C. McMurry, J. Hevenor
MOTION #1: Moved by V. Bates, seconded by J. Smyth, that Harry Alward be
appointed Acting Chairman for this Special Meeting of Council.
CARRIED.
MUSING STUDY: A draft Housing Study had been distributed to Council for study
• prior to the Meeting. C. McMurry reviewed the Study in detail.
Under population trends, although the East Elgin Planning Board
has projected 1100 by 1985, Mr. MtMurry felt that past trends in'
Port Burwell to fluctuate between 650 and 800 since 1951 and'the
present low cycle of 631, would indicate possibly 800 in gradual
growth forecasted. However, he noted that internal economic fac—
tors such as the dredging of the Harbour and development of the
Marina, along with the proposed new sanitary sewage system will
definitely lead to population increases. Offshoots from Marina
Development and the possibility of Developers coming in could of
course increase this forecast further. Council should encourage
developers of apartment units due to the lack of availability of
rental units. The 22% factor of residents over 60 years of age
would indicate a 15 unit Senior Citizen home to be feasible for
the area. There was discussion of Council seeking the opinions
of Resident Senior Citizens to obtain a "need" survey. There was
also discussion on freeing some of the older homes for apartment use.
THE REEVE ASSUMED THE CHAIR.
Summary: 1. Zoning — C. McMurry recommended that an amendment could be
made to the Zoning By—Laws to allow for Apartment Buildings and
that Council could consider not zoning for apartments — but that
he felt the By—laws should allow so many per acre.
2. The report has been compiled from information from the Clerk
Office records, Sewer Finance Brief and by driving through Village
streets investigating the condition of the residences exteriorwise.
3. Council could adopt the Housing Study by resolution, but stronger
policies or recommendations were suggested. C. McMurry felt Council
should consider a Property Standards By—Law and will send a proto—
type copy for their consideration.
Since two copies of the Draft Housing Study had been mailed to the
Ministry of Housing with a request for the additional $2500. Grant
money,(ieaving a final 25% on completion of the report) Council
should await a reply and comment, then the Village was advised to
proceed on a request for a need study of a Senior Citizen Complex.
OTHER BUSINESS:
MOTION 02: Moved by V. Bates seconded by G. Loucks that the OHRP Committee
Chairman Jack Smyth recommends that the cheque issued to George
Lockrey and Gilbert Custom Finishing for window wells be altered to
delete the Contractor's name,,(since he is no longer in business and .
did not complete this work). The cheque to be cashable by George
Lockrey so that he'may complete this work himself. The cheque is
dated March 16, 1979 in the amount of $150. CARRIED.
MOTION #3: Moved by H. 0. Alward, seconded by V. Bates, that Cecile Marquette
who is terminating ner employment with the Works Dept of the Village
at the end of August, be given a Village Pin as a small token of this
Council's appreciation for the very efficient work that ane carried
out for the Village during the summer. CARRIED.

large truck to use the right of way access, abutting and part of
her property. The truck damaged her septic tank to the extent of
$200.00 in repairs and Mr. Murphy refused to accept any responsi-
bility for same. In addition, the Gayed family feels their cot-
tage is a source of pleasure to them; they don't wish to sell it,
and Mrs. Gayed said evidence points to the fact that they are being
squeezed off their property. Along with the Council's sympathy,

26TH SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING NOVI14BBF12 6, 1979.
A Special Meeting of Council was held on Tuesday, November 6, 1979, in the
Municipal Office, at 7430 p.m., to discuss Water items and Harbour Dredging.
?RESENT,: R. Bradfield, Reeve
Councillors: V. Bates, H. Allard, G. Loucks and the Clerk
Visitors: M. Auger, F. Bartlett, Min. of the Environment.
COTTAGE RATES: Cottage rates presently based on a six month payment basis
of $72.00 plus a $10.00 turn on foe, were reviewed.
11111
Three permanent residents who plan to be out of the country for
six months, have requested they be allowed to pay only on the
six month cottage rate.
M. Auger advised Coancil that most Municipalities, including
• Port Stanley, pay a full year, reF�ardleas of residency. If •
• Council makes this type of provision available, there may be
further requests for shorter periods•of absence. The capital
debt goes on as charged over 40 years. Council was therefore,
advised to set the turn on rate at a high enough amount - $60. •
to $70. to offset this type of request and to eliminate the turn-
off fee altogether.
MOTION #1: Moved by V. Bates, seconded by G. Loucks, that the turn-on charge
for water be raised to $50.00, with no charge made for the turn-
off, and this rate to become valid the first day of January 1980.
CARRIED.
F.D.
In discussion of water gallonage used by the Village, it was esti-
mated thatin 1972 approx. 29 gala. per day per capita were used
and in 1979 approximately 40 gals. a day are being used. This
does not merit the installation of meters for flat rate users, due
to the expense to the Village that would be involved.
M. Auger will check out other Municipal water contracts and also
a book on fee schedules charged, for Council's information.
Frontage and Connections were discussed. The Clerk will enquire
from Mr. Davidson as to when the yearly audit by the Ministry, is
made.
?OR' BUTWELL MARINA: A request from the Marina for water Service, would require
a 6" line at an estimated $10,000. Council requested advice as to
the shared coats of installation for Feb. 1, 1980.
M. Auger gave tne following advice: It is more costly to install
in January. Council should first ascertain if a 6" line is necee-
nary - a 4" line would not allow for a fire hydrant, an estimate
should be obtained as to how much gallonage per day they would need,
and the information should be in writing.
A 2" water meter would be required. As to cost-sharing„ most muni-
cipalitiee pay a portion to 25 - 3C with the balance being paid by
the developer. Other future development in that area would mean a
rebate on whatever basis is required for service and this should be
in the agreement. A letter of Credit, preferable to a bond, should
be obtained from tne Marina Company, in the form of an irrevokr,i,ie
insurance policy to cover the coot of the entire amount. The Marina
would pay a premium to cover the period of putting in the service
and beyond until actual devolo;me:nt starts, with a renewable clause
to cover completion of development. Thin would ensure that Council
would not be left with the coat should the development not occur for
any reason.
OOTION #2: Moved by H. 0. Alward, enem a:xd by G. Lourke, that the Port Burwell
Marina Incorporated, be advised that the Village egra',n to pay 25% , 1111111
of the cost of the installation of the water line to the site of the
proposed Marina at an estimated cost of $10,000. providing that a
letter of Credit Se placed in the sands of the Clerk Treasurer of
the Village. CARRIED.
DREDGING! The Reeve reported on the last Harbour Committee Meeting and min- •
utes were provided for Councillors. In addition, he stated that
Underwater Gas Limited wishes Council to supply them with total
annual costa of dredging and a list of parte required for the Dred4e.

VISITORS: Mrs. Lorraine Bradt attended to object to the keeping of a
horse behind her house and also the keeping of fowl beside her
property. She requested Council to pass a By-Law to prohibit
such animals within the Village. There was discussion of this
issue and Council's pest experience concerning the prohibition
of animals, through By-Laws set up for the purpose - the last
one being rescinded.
^- Moved By: G. Loucks that the Council of ttte Vi-llage of Port Burwell write
a letter to Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Webb, concerning a complaint
received re the keeping of a horse on their property and advis-
ing them that Council would request them to find other accommo-
dations for the animal, outside the Municipality. There being
no Seconder - the motion was INVALID.
Mrs, Dorothy Brown stated that she had requested gravel from
Council approximately three years ago, on the unopened Village
roadway, (end of George Street) a portion of which is used by
the Browns as access to their residence. She asked why Council
would not think it was the Village's responsibility to gravel
this roadway. Council then explained policy on private driveway
upkeep, and the financial aspects of opening the road for one
family's use.
Motion #1: Moved by G. Loucks, seconded by J. Smyth, that if enough gravel
is available, it will be placed on the unused public road allow-
ance directly north of Stuart Brown's residence.

mini
27TH REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 12, 1979.
Sewers: A letter was read,from the Ministry of the Environment to the
Ontario Municipal Board, advising total costs of the project:
$2,685.639, with the net capital to be financed by Port Burwell
at $225.872. The total amount of all grants and subsidies is
greater than the total initially estimated, resulting in a lower
cost in savings to the Village of $57,708. than was originally
estimated. This would lower the annual sewage service rate for
Villagers, however in order to expedite this approval, the 11Village would not revise the proposed sewage rates until actual
tendered costs of construction were deteninined. Therefore the
annual typical homeowner charge outlined in the draft notice
forwarded to O.M.B. in 1978 - $175.98, is still applicable.
Marina: A letter from the Port Burwell Marina advised that due to the
decision of Small Craft Harbours, not to proceed with any dred-
ging or funding for same, their position is changed in that they
are unable to proceed with the Marina Complex, and requested that
Council not proceed with the required water lines and services .
to be supplied on or before April 1, 1980.
A. Vanderispaillie: The water meter chamber has now been repaired.
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES:
Road Superintendent's Report: The Road Report ending October 31, 1979, was
reviewed. Budgeted expenditures were $50,600. with actual expendi-
tures totalling $43,500.19. The balance for drains would be
$2191.30, however $500.00 of this was transferred to Maintenance,
to give the Village a little more to work on for Nov. and Dec.
road Maintenance. It was felt that this would still not leave enough
in the 1979 budget to accommodate wages for an additional man.
The London M.T.C. Engineer advised the Village to think about
raising the salary of our present road man and not .replace the
second man. He cited other Municipalities similar to our own who
had only 1 road man. He advised also that when needed, assistance
could be hired and that sub-contracting for snow, etc. was well
subsidized. In addition, any unused portion of the budget could
be used to buy gravel, etc. if needed for road gravelling. Some
thought should be given to the cost of opening any new street, as
the cost is then ongoing for maintenance of same.
Motion M6: Moved by J. Smyth, seconded by H.O. Alward, that the resolution
of Council, October 22, 1979, be rescinded and that the Village
Clerk-Treasurer be authorized to order 50 KM SIGNS and 1 O.P.P
SIGN and pay the same. CARRIED.
The Clerk is to investigate having the signs purchased through
the County of Elgin instead of a private company.
Street Lights on the West side and across the Bridge are still
out. Relays were ordered around the first of November. P.U.C.
was advised they would be sent by courier as soon as possible.
ALL OTHER COMMITTEES: No reports.
OTHER BUSINESS:
Multi-Service entre: Mrs. Bates reported on the meeting she attended,
reporting that these services are available for Port Burwell
residents, as well as all three Counties. There is a need for
money and if the services are used, Mrs. Bates felt it would
be a worthy cause.
Mrs. Gayed: Mrs. Bates reported on a discussion concerning damage to IllMrs. Gayed's well. Concerning a quit claim deed over the Vil-
lage owned Right-Of-Way, it was felt that the Clerk could con-
tact Mr. Hanselman concerning Village interests there.

$300.00. and gave the money to the Clerk for deposit.
