Morris Council approves drainage maintenance budget
A budget for drainage mainten
ance in Morris Township in the
amount of $32,250 for drain repairs
and $6,650 for drainage superin
tendent costs was approved by
council at its meeting on February
20.
Drainage superintendent Gary
Nicholson requested that council
pay his membership to the Water
loo Drainage Chapter Association.
Council was informed by East
Wawanosh Township, who have
employed Mr. Nicholson as well
that they are willing to share the
costs.
A township landowner Henry
Rouw discussed the Laidlaw Drain
that passes his property on Lot 6,
Cone. 8. He requested that the
bank be rehabilitated and the
corrugated steel pipe that crosses
the Concession road be repaired, as
it lifted during heavy rain last year.
It was noted that the bank
rehabilitation would be a road cost
but the corrugated steel pipe is part
of the municipal drain. Council
agreed to inspect the matter during
this year’s road tour and will notify
Mr. Rouw of their decision.
Council authorized the interim
payment of allocation to the Huron
County Board of Education be
deferred until June when tax funds
are received.
A letter was forwarded to the
Ministry of Agriculture and Food
concerning the proposed subdivi
sions for Morris in Belgrave and a
notice of a needs study that is being
prepared to accompany the applica
tion.
Council was advised that a
ratepayer had notified the office to
say that he felt the cost of
transporting recyclable materials
was inexpensive considering the
life span of the disposal site.
A grant of $150 was given to the
Huron County Farm and Home
Safety Association for this year.
Reeve Douglas Fraser will be
attending the members of parlia
ment meeting in Clinton on March
17.
A grant of $500 was given to the
Huron County Federation of Agri
culture.
Morris Council authorized ten
dering for 33,000 Imperial tons of
crushed gravel for the north side of
the township to be due by March
20. The gravel will have to be
spread by June 15 or wait until
September 15 for application.
