Brussels council debates unlicenced car problem
■'S’!

There seem to be few objections
by the Ministry of Community and
Social Services to Huron County’s
plans for two new Huronview
buildings, Gail Lamb, architect for
the buildings told the Huronview
Committee of Management at its
June meeting.
In the minutes of the meeting,
adopted by county council Thurs
day, Ms. Lamb said that only minor
recommendations for changes had
been made. It appeared early
approval is expected.
The two new homes for the aged,
one south of Brussels and one on
the current Huronview site at
Clinton, could go to tender late this
summer for construction to begin
this year.*****
The speed limit on Huron county
highways could go up, depending
on a report prepared by County
Engineer Denis Merrall.
The county road committee ask
ed Mr. Merrall to conduct a study
of the effect of increasing speeds
from 80 km per hour to 90 km per
hour on some or all county roads.
County Warden Lionel Wilder left
no doubt where he stood on the
issue. When county council ap
proved the recommendation from
the road committee he noted it was
“carried unanimously”.*****
If the speed limit does increase,
next year’s County Warden could
be speeding along in a county-own
ed car provided for the Warden.
Council approved a recommen
dation from the executive commit
tee that the administrator be
directed to investigate the options
available in providing a car for the
warden. A former warden Grant
Stirling of Goderich Township op
posed the idea of getting a car for
the Warden but Zurich Reeve
Robert Fisher pointed out that
with the amount of mileage the
Warden puts on his car, it might be
cheaper for the county to buy a car
that could then be turned over to a
county department head at the end
of each term. If the warden puts
40,000 km on his car on county
business the mileage rate would
cost the county $11,000, he said.
Warden Wilder pointed out he
had bought a new car on January 5
and now has 35,000 km. on it,
nearly all on county business. He
estimated he’ll travel a minimum of
45,000 to 50,000 km. before the
year is out on county business.*****
County councillors will now be
able to work, and get paid for two
full days in a day.
County councillors can often
attend several meetings in a day.
The current provision says that
councillors get paid $95 for a
meeting over three hours in length
and $65 for meetings under three
hours. Under the new provision the
maximum a councillor can get paid
for is the equivalent of three
half-day (under three hours) meet
ings for a total of $195.*****
With the resignation of past
warden Dave Johnston as Reeve of
Bayfield, Patricia Carrier took over
the Bayfield seat on council for the
first time this month. She will also
be a member of the Social Service
Committee.*****
County Council approved the
official plan amendment necessary
for development of a retirement
community in the northern part of
Brussels. The proposal was put
forward by Ron Clarkson and Keith
Mulvey.

they had to do something with their
cars. Last month 25 letters were
sent out, Donna White deputy
clerk-treasurer told council and
many of these were from people
who have a car they drive only in
winter and don’t licence in sum
mer.
Councillor Bruce Hahn objected
strongly to the by-law. “If I want to
take the licence off my car and
leave it in the driveway nobody’s

GREAT RESULTS!
CEASSIFIBD ASS WORK
Thanks
Cheri Kryzanowski, and other students from Hullett Public School from the 2 buses that the Cooks
drive, presented Russell and Marion Cook with a gift to thank them for their years of service as bus
drivers for the school. The Cooks, who live in Blyth are retiring.
The problem of what to do with
people keeping unlicenced cars on
their property in violation of zoning
by-laws provided one of the few
controversial moments at the July
meeting of Brussels council July 3.
The village’s zoning by-law
states that “no lot shall be used for
the parking or storage of any
vehicle that doesn’t have a current
licence.” The by-law does allow up
to two such vehicles to be stored in
a garage. But councillors were going to stop me,” he said. He said
divided as to whether the by-law
should be enforced. Council had
been trying to clean up the number
of derelict cars in the village but in
doing so also notified the drivers of
all vehicles that weren’t licenced
he knew there were problems with
some cars that the village had to act
on but he didn’t like
approach.
Councillor Dave
agreed, saying many
the blanket
Hastings
of the un-
licenced cars aren’t “junkers” but
cars someone plans to do some
thing with.
But Hugh Hanly, clerk-treasurer
asked who was to judge what was a
junker and what was a car that
could be repaired. Some people
who had derelict cars claimed they
were going to fix them, he said.
Reeve Gordon Workman said
some solution to the problem
needed to be found for the sake of
the village staff. “You should hear
some of the people who come in
here and sound off to them,” he
said.
Councillor Greg Wilson said he
had to take the side of the people
who had unlicenced cars. “If my
car was sitting in my driveway I
wouldn’t pay any attention (to the
by-law),” he said.
But Councillor Mary Stretton
argued that the by-law has been
around since long before the cur
rent council. “We didn’t make this
up. They (the staff) have to deal
with this problem.”
Mr. Hanly jokingly suggested
getting an answering machine with
two messages on it, one for those
complaining about dogs and anoth
er with a message for those
complaining about unlicenced cars
and the few people who wanted to
talk about anything else but these
two controversial subjects could
wait for the beep and leave their
messages.
Mrs. White said it didn’t matter
to her whether council enforced the
by-law or not but “I just want to
know what to say when people
come in complaining to me.”
Councillor Hahn said that just
because someone complains
doesn’t mean staff has to send the
car owner a letter. He suggested
staff let councillors know about the
complaints and councillors can
investigate to see if it warrants
further action.
Councillors agreed this was the
best course of action.

lays off
workers
Forty-five production workers at
the Royal Homes plant just outside
Wingham will be laid off indefinite
ly at the end of July.
The lay-off decreases the work
force at the Wingham plant to
approximately 60, while 100 are
employed at Royal Homes’ Peter
borough plant.
Peter Venema, a spokesman for
the modular home building com
pany, said last week that high
interest rates continue to plague
the building industry. He says
perspective buyers appear to be
frightened by the higher rates and
are hanging on until the rates fall.
To combat the trend, Royal
Homes is introducing an XLV
Series of moderately-priced homes
($75,000 to $85,000) for the budget
conscious, first-time buyers or
retirees.
