4. DELEGATIONS
7:05 p.m. —Ron Bradfield,representing Port Burwell Harbour user Boaters Group
made a presentation regarding improvements/maintenance dredging,possible solutions
and funding. He provided history on the harbour, commenting that at the time of transfer
from Small Craft Harbours to the Village of Port Burwell in 1975, a minimum draft of
8'was to be maintained within the harbour. He added that did not happen and it is
currently so shallow that you could walk across without being wet. He added that for
many years Tim Martin and his father have kept the passage open,noting that the harbour
would�be accessible without the Charter boats.ri`i
n o"E
Council Minutes - 103 - April 17,2008
He noted that others are not required to physically maintain highways so they can get to
work and the fishermen and charters shouldn't have to either.
He raised the concern that with 128 km between Long Point and Port Stanley, the harbour
in Port Burwell should be accessible as a port of refuge for boaters in risk of danger.
He advised that several boaters annually bend their propellers and suck sand into the
motors causing damage. He estimated 10,000 people and boaters come to Port Burwell
annually, suggesting that no remedial support from the municipality sends the message
that we don't want them here. Mr. Bradfield requested solutions to the silt problem be
sought and that some municipal tax dollars be spent on harbour maintenance.
He suggested that those requiring access to the harbour for their own commercial
operations, such as the gas company,may be convinced to invest in local dredging, rather
than take an estimated $100,000 to Port Stanley.
Mr. Bradfield submitted a petition containing over 300 signatures stating:
"We petition our Municipality of Bayham Council to petition our Federal Government to
immediately(ASAP) carry out maintenance dredging of Port Burwell Harbour so we can
exit and re-enter Port Burwell Harbour with our boats for our work and pleasure without
putting ourselves and our guests in danger of grounding in rough waters."
The petition is to be forwarded to Joe Preston, MP.
Ian Almond, local businessman, identified both commercial and spot fishing as
economic concerns, suggested the LPRCA is not interested and encouraged the
municipality to take the lead on a harbour investment initiative for 2009.
,.� Larry Ostrowerchv,Lynn Tremblett and Danielle Thieverge stressed the need to take
the necessary actions to maintain harbour safety and access as a viable fishing port.
Joe Stephenson,Mike Garry and Honor Wassin2 raised environmental soil erosion
concerns and emphasized the need for long-term conservation measures to address
silting.
Item 9.1(c)
7:30 p.m.—Honor Wassing was in attendance to present her views as outlined in her
correspondence regarding Shore-based, Controlled Entry Water Rescue. She suggested a
mock rescue from the rock pier training session be conducted and video taped for use as a
resource tool. Item 8.1(d)
Council Minutes - 104 - April 17, 2008
7:45 p.m.—Brian Crevits was in attendance regarding farm labour accommodations as

County of Elgin opposing a proposed change in the $2,000 benefit assessment
from property owned by Lew and Lynn Acre to the County of Elgin.
4. Court/Public Questions& Comments
E Ketchabaw questioned Mr. Dutchak whether he had discussed the 1979
agreement with Mr. Acre and whether he had visited the Acre property to which
he responded, yes.
M Taylor questioned whether the outlet was stable and there was no issue at that
time.
P Dutchak responded that at the time of installation there was no issue, the erosion
has occurred beyond the original outlet since then.
M Taylor questioned why the extension was not installed at that time.
P Dutchak noted that the outlet at that time did provide benefit, and could have
been shorter. He noted that the outlet services 43 hectares while only 4.3 or 7%
were County owned. Mr. Acre could have petitioned to extend further.
M Taylor questioned Mr. Acre how long ago the County had been approached
regarding the erosion.
Council Minutes - 109 - April 17, 2008
Mr. Acre responded believed it to be about 15 years that he had tried to contact
the County Engineer Robert Moore but did not get a response. About 8 years ago
he had spoken to Warden Wilson in this regard.
M Taylor asked how much land had been swallowed.
Mr. Acre responded it was ok until the clay let go;washed out when 3 feet of
water in the outlet . He suggested that past engineering practices were
responsible. Could have been cured with better practices. He confirmed he was
appealing the"Benefit"only nithe"Special Benefit".
The meaning of benefit and interpretation in regard to the definition of"Benefit"
in the Drainage Act. was discussed.
E Ketchabaw questioned Mr. Spriet as to options.
Mr. Spriet responded that the court could approve the assessments as presented, or
re-allocate to a particular property within the owners assessed or moved to a road
authority being the County of Elgin or the Municipality of Bayham or split the
difference between properties. Anyone affected property owner dissatisfied with
any such re-assessment would have the right to appeal to the Drainage Tribunal.
An appeal can be made either in opposition to the assessment"as is"or to any
change made.
M Taylor confirmed he believes both the"Benefit" and"Special Benefit"
assessed to the Acres should be re-allocated to the County.
P. Dutchak advised that the County had paid for 100%of the construction costs in
1979. He commented the two reports dealt with separate issues.
Ketchabaw questioned whether review by the Tribunal could bring in the 1979
works.
J Spriet responded that the Tribunal can call appellants/ratepayers deemed
necessary to resolve the matter. He added that the composition of the Tribunal
varies and it would be difficult to determine how the consideration would work
out.
C Evanitski questioned if the Tribunal were to look at the total separate from the
1979 works what is the option if the property owner disagrees?
J Spriet agreed with Mr. Acre that the ravine was initially not so deep. The
proposed construction takes a good drain, adds fill and extends it an additional
150 feet. He noted another option would be to let someone else make the decision
through the Tribunal.
The Court adjourned at 8:25 and re-convened at 8:48 p.m.
J Spriet responded to court member questions and clarified options.
Council Minutes - 110- April 17, 2008
Mr. Acre confirmed his appeal for the"benefit"portion only.
