Sharen emphasize# the village must continue jn Jts quest to solve the village’s parking problems with a parking survey helping to determine what the village can do to alleviatexine problem. 1! Thevillage should begin to make progess in the acquisi tion of a cemetery, Shares stated. 7 X He warned council “sewers will bring out problems we haven’t even thought of yet.” Summing up, Sharen said “We must continue to move ahead.” While appointments to the various committees of coun cil rarely cause little debate, such was not the case Monday with Crawford strenuously objecting to his removal from the recreation committee. When Sharen began to read the various council ap pointees to the committees, Crawford said it was the council which made the ap- pointments and not the reeve. If he was left off the recreation committee it would negate a year’s work, Crawford stated. Sharen said the Exeter high school teacher had given him the indication that he did not wish to serve on the committee. Appointed to the rec com mittee were new deputy reeve Judy Uniac and long time member of the com mittee, councillor Harold Greene. Crawford maintained that while he had given in dications it was tough slugg ing at times on the rec com mittee, Sharen had never asked him if he had wanted to serve another term. “I’m not willing to be booted out after just a year,” Crawford said. Proposing a solution was Bill Baird who asked if it was possible for three members of council to sit on the recreation committee. Sharen said there was nothing to prevent such a move, but another member from the public would be required. evening, in honor of their grandson Mark who is leaving for a six month travel trip to Europe.
