The board ac­ cepted the policy, prepared by director of education John Cochrane, which will govern procedure on matters af­ fecting any interest group in the board’s area of jurisdicition. The decision basically means that a minimumn of four weeks will be set aside for public input into board decisions before the board takes any final action. Cochrane told the board that the policy is alrady in practice but is not written down anywhere and he just wanted to get something on paper. The system now dictates that any policy to be adopted by the board will be put on the agenda for a meeting as an information item. The board will not make any decision on the matter at that point but will send the matter to appropriate committee. The committee will allow any interest groups to react to the proposals and will bring that information to the next board meeting. Based on that reaction the board will then be in position to take whatever action it deems necessary. Colborne township trustee Shirley Hazlitt said she was concerned that the new policy would serve only to delay board action. She said the decisions will now take three board meetings to handle, one meeting to recommend the matter to the committee, one for the committee to handle the subject and a third for the board to ratify the decision. Cochrane said that there was nothing to prevent the committee to take action on the matter from the time the “kite was first flown”. He said the committee could contact special in­ terest groups after it was first made aware of the matter and may be able to bring in a recommendation to the board at its next meeting. He said the com­ mittee could work closely with a superintendant of education or the director to gather information relavent to the matter. “The board’s concern was not length of time but rather shortness of time,” said Cochrane. “The concern was that there is not enough time allowed for public input.” In other business the board accepted a recommendation from its executive com­ mittee that a 15 minute question period be put on every board meeting agenda. The question period permits ratepayers or parents to question the board on any matters they are concerned with. Councils set aside cash for fire truck Exeter council met for an abbreviated session, Mon­ day, the meeting lasting for only one hour. The agenda was shortened due to the fact council had met only one week previously. The major debate at this week’s meeting was related to the recommendation from the area fire board that the councils of Exeter, Usborne, Stephen and Hay set aside $4,000 per year in total for the future purchase of a new fire truck. The $4,000 would be allotted on the basis of the present contribution each municipality makes to the fire board. Exeter’s share is 50 percent. Reeve Si Simmons, who presented the recommenda­ tion, said it could be 10 years Police lay six charges Officers of the Exeter police department charged four area residents this week under provisions of the Liquor Control Act. They were charged for havjng li­ quor readily available in a motor vehicle and will appear in court at a later date. One adult was also charg­ ed with impaired driving. Thursday, a youth was ap­ prehended and charges with shoplifting at Gord’s Varie­ ty, Main street. Saturday, a 1978 van own­ ed by Darling’s Food Markets was stolen. It was later recovered a mile and a quarter west of Exeter on Huron street. It was stuck in a snowbank. The same day, Roland McCaffery reported a breakin at the Exeter Fur­ niture plant on James street. A small amount of money was taken. In last week’s report of ac­ cident investigated by town police officers an error was made. Involved in one mis­ hap was Larry Johns and not Brad Johns as reported. A ladies gold wrist watch was found Monday on Sanders street. It may be claimed at the police station by proving ownership. File plea for fees Exeter council decided this week to take no action on a resolution from Markham opposing a provin­ cial government plan to eliminate the fees municipalities now receive for issuing licences to various operations within their boundaries. The resolution noted that while the fees will be dropped, the municipalities will be still faced with the cost of administration and enforcement charges in­ volved in licencing such things as taxi operators, pool rooms, etc. Markham suggested that this cost should not be borne by other ratepayers and the fees should continue to cover the costs involved. However, in answer to a question from Councillor Derry Boyle, clerk Liz Bell said it was not a big source of revenue for the municipality and the resolu­ tion was filed. before replacement of the truck may have to be con­ sidered, but establishing the reserve fund would make such a purchase possible without creating any finan­ cial hardship on any of the municipalities. However, Councillor Ken Ottewell opposed the suggestion, noting that the municipalities would be better advised to use their shares to pay off existing debentures rather than set them aside for future uses. He said that the interest rate on a reserve fund would be about the same as the municipalities now pay on debentures and in fact they were not gaining anything by establishing a reserve fund. Ottewell added that he didn’t like the idea of collec­ ting money from taxpayers and then setting that money aside. It was suggested that some of the people who would be asked to help pay for a new fire truck may not even be living in the municipalities involved when the truck was actually purchased and put into use. However, all other members felt that the es­ tablishment of a reserve fund was a good idea and the recommendation was ap­ proved. Don't need more phones A suggestion that another public telephone be installed in Exeter was vetoed by council this week, and in fact some members suggested that the present phone in front of the ad­ ministration offices should be removed. A letter was received from Bell Telephone suggesting that there was a need for another pay phone in town, particularly on the west side of the street. They suggested the area south of the PUC office would be an ideal location. The only support for the suggestion camefrom Coun­ cillor Ted Wright, who said it was surprising how many people look for a phone while going through town.

In addition, people will be required to pay added costs if they plan to take the refuse from demolished structures to the local dump. Bender of Exeter will take over the position of animal control officer. Pickering replaces Lawrence Dietrich who held the post for a number of years and Bender takes over the chore of animal control officer from the London Humane Society. Bender will maintain a patrol to a maximum of eight hours per week and will receive $3.50 per hour plus 21 cents per mile for transportation.

The township is requesting all recreation groups in the municipality to submit their 1978 budget requests by March 24. Payment of the 1978 levy for the Ausable-Bayfield Change rec board to meet regulation Exeter council made a slight change in the make-up of the board of management of the South Huron rec cen­ tre this week to comply with regulations from the ministry of culture and recreation. The board will now be of­ ficially known as the Exeter recreation committee, although they will maintain their previous title and are expected to name a sub­ committee to handle recrea­ tion in Exeter. The move was taken after it was found that the forma­ tion of the recreation com­ mittee was not in keeping with the ministry’s regulations, which stipulates that at least two council members must sit on such a committee. Council had several op­ tions open and decided the best move was to name another member of council to the board of management and have that board respon­ sible for recreation. Councillor Steve Pfaff was named to the board as coun­ cil’s second representative. Mayor Shaw is the other. 'Die number of represen­ tatives on the board will be unchanged as Pfaff will replace one of council’s previous appointees, John Burke. The latter has in­ dicated he will resign his position due to his work commitments. Pfaff attend his first meeting of the board, which was held following council’s Monday night meeting.
