Warden Hayter said, "%vette just keeping Jim (Britnell) in line with other engineers with his experience and qualifica- tions." Considerable discussion was heafd concerning new regula- tions In the Employment Stan- dards Act by which snow re- moval crews are not thin the meaning of "mainte ance" in • the Act-and thereb must be paid. time and a half for over- time. Council approved a 1969 road committee recommendation to petition • the minister of labor and the director of employment standards to allow employees carrying out these maintenance procedures to come with the meang of "maintenance" .and there r,w become exempt from i the n regulation regarding overtime. Mr. Britnell explained that aside from the fact that road crews had never mentioned dis- atisfactjon with the present ar- rangement, if the new regula-- lions were enforced it might be- come necessary for the county read employees to work short- er hours iS" the fine weather to compensate for the overtime expenses in the poorer weather. It was the county's policy through the &ears, he added, to' ensure road' crews of a full week's pay every week. He said he felt the new regulations were designed to cover work- men who were' being exploited by tmployers. . Mr. Britnell told ceuncil he was proud of the county snow crew who often 'worked. long •hours without complaint . dur- ing a storm. He cempared the cost in the county of about $340 per two-lane mile for winter road maintenance to the.depart- menf of highway's -budget of about $2,800 per two-lane mile. He said while many residents in the county expected the same service on county roads as on provinical highways it was im- possible to provide with One- third the snow crew, one-half -the equipment and about one- sevenths of the budget as com- pared- to the -provincial highway snow clearing. • A very wet summer raised the cost of weed and brush, cutting and spraying from the estimat- ed cost of $35,004 to an actual expenditure of $52,501.35. Total road construction cost to the county during- 1968 was $467,471.25 and total-bridge con- struction amounted to $135,- 23322, both figures well with- in the estimated budgets.
