List accomplishments
and failures of 1977
i'
In a meeting that served as a
review of the past year’s ac
complishments and failures,
Reeve Bob Sharen stated that
Grand Bend Council would
continue to bring expenses into
line and attempt to get as much
for the taxpayer’s money as
possible.
Sharen said that one of the
most important areas that will be
finished this year will be the
village’s review of ail its bylaws.
The designation of Grand Bend
as a planning area and the
subesquent establishment of a
planning board was viewed by
Sharen as a significant step
forward.
The updating of all the town’s
equipment with no additional
expenses to the taxpaper is a plus
for the village stated the Reeve.
Improvements, made in the
liaison between the village and
merchants with regards to the
improvement of the downtown
core was another ac
complishment, Sharen stated.
On the negative side of the
ledger, the failure to solve the
parking problem, the acquisition Ausable-Bayfield Conservation

Council approved a motion for
cemetary were the failures of last ' the sending of several out-
year according to Reeve Sharen.
When Sharen stated the failure
to get a firm date from the
Ministry of the Environment for
the construction of sewers in the
village should rest on council’s
shoulders, Councillors Bob
Simpson and Harold Green
immediately voiced opposition
with Simpson saying “It wasn’t
because we didn’t try.”
In a move designed to prevent
“fly by night operators” from
doing business in the village a
revised Transient Trader’s bylaw
calling for a $300 fee for
businesses and a $5.00 fee for
farmer-sold produce was passed.
If the fee is not payed a fine of not
less than ten and nor more than
$200 dollars against the business
can be imposed.
Council made clear that on
businesses who presently pay
business tax, the transient trader
fee would be applied against the
business tax.
Councillor Simpson prior to the
passing of the bylaw said that he
felt a concern “should not be
allowed to open for business if
they don’t have a licence.”
Sharen pointed out that an
effective deterrent was that the
village could lay a charge every
day that a business is in con
travention of the bylaw.
A letter will be sent to all
businesses in the village notifying
them of the bylaw.
In other council news, a bylaw
to appoint the officers and
establish remuneration for the
village was passed.
Bob Simpson was appointed as
the village’s representative to the
standing tax arrears to small
claims court.
A letter from G.E. Grindlay of |
the Pinedale subdivision voicing
concern about proposed boun
dary realignment was received.
The Fire Chief’s Report for 1977 \
stated that a total of 24 calls were J
answered with six of those j
classed as “serious.” Simpson J
who read the report, said that he
would like to see reports on a I
more frequent basis. •:
A request for a lottery licence
from the Grand Bend Lion’s Club
for a raffle on a car was ap- I
proved. Proceeds will go towards
recreational programs.
A complaint from Don Kuntz of
70 Oak Street about the lack of
snow removal on his section of
the street was received. Council
was told that future problems
would arise if the snowplow was
brought in there on a continuous
basis. Large banks would occur
with the filling in of the road
resulting. The problem would be
alleviated somewhat if the
snowblower was brought in on a
slightly less frequent basis.
Lack of proper roadsigns in
dicating the locations of Exeter
and Grand Bend at the in
tersection of Highway 4 and
Perth County Road 17 was the
concern of Reeve Sharen. Clerk-
Treasurer Louise clipperton was
authorized by council to send a
letter to the Ministry of Tran
sportation and Communications
asking that such signs be erected.
A copy of the letter is to be sent to
the town of Exeter requesting
support for the erection of the
signs.
