The official plan study and
the industrial survey are closely
related. The study will result in
recommendations concerning .
land use in the town and area
and deal with road development
as well as property requirements
for schools and public services.
The industrial study will recom-
mend areas suitable for long
term industrial development in
and immediately adjacent to the
town as well as suggest action
to be taken in developing such
a site.
The survey will involve a
review and updating of the pre-
vious studies which led to the
zoning by-law.
" The cost was estimated at
not more than $5700 with pay-
ments spread over two years.
In introducing the matter,
Mayor Sills said it had been
considered thoroughly by the
planning board. It had been
moved forward to council for
consideration since council was
responsible.
Recalling a conversation he
had had with the Mayor, Counc.
G. Hildebrand asked if he (the
mayor) had enquired as to whe-
ther Conestoga would be inter-
ested in preparing a plan. Mayor
Sills said the reference was, to
an exercise concerning indus-
try and not an official plan.
Counc, Robert Dinsmore,who
had attended the joint, meeting
with the board, recalled that the
consultants had said payment
could be on the basis of about
half this year, the balance next
yehr and since there already was
$1700 in the planning board bud-
get .only an additional $1000 was
involved this year.
'Clerk Williams asked for an
opinion and suggested such an
amount' would not prevent too
heavy a load. He added that
there could be an economy in
early action since del4r would
contribute to the necessity of
doing again c4rtaineof the orig-
inal study.
Counce L. F. Ford, who with
Counc. Dinsmore had just re-
turned from a Municipal Con-
vention at New Liskeard, said
he had learned that neither Tor-
onto or Ottawa had had official
plans. It was explained that
- these municipalities operated on
a different basis as to require-
ments.
Counc. Dinsmore suggested
an official plan was an assur-
ance that local wishes would
be respected when regional gov-
ernment was introduced.
Expressing some • reser-
vations Reeve J. F. Flannery
suggested he would rather see
the money spent on a site than
on planning.
Dep. Reeve Wilmer Cuthill
told council the move *as a good
one. "We can see where we
should 6. The industrial survey
will show us where we shouldv
buy property", he said.
Counc. Betty Cardno agreed,
"I• think we should go ahead
with both" she said'.
Acting on a report of a com-
mittee named to' consider the
matter, council approved salary
increases of $100. for each mem-
ber of council. The increase
will raise members of council'
from $350 per. annum to $459
and the Mayor from $509 to
$600. Payment will be in two'
installments, June and Decem-
While all agreed the increas-
ed salaries were not inconsist-
erit with remuneration in area
centres, Counc. Cardno was con-
cerned that the new rates were
to be retroactive to Jan. 1,1970.
Clerk E. M. Williams salary
was increased from $6000 to
$6800.
Mrs.Robert Campbell, of R.
R. 1, Seaforth was appointed de-
puty-clerk and Leon Bannon was
appointed to the public works
staff, Mrs. Campbell is on the'
town clerk staff at $1,60 per
hour.
Reporting for the street com-
mittee Counc. R.S.MacDonald
said paving had been carried out
and a number of sidewalks re-
paired. Coupcil agreed to ac-
cept a bid• from Cornell Con-
struction for treating Seaforth
'streetg. The bid was 26.7e per
gal. for emulsion and $4.95 for
chips. In addition- about one
mile of roktis will be primed.
Counc, Dinsmore, chairman
of the Police Committee, said
consideration was being given' to
converting the stop lights atMain
and` Goderich to flash type lights
after 11 p.m. similar to the ar-
rangement in Clinton and Strat-
ford.
