Paps By-Litiv For Retention of Documents
Lucknow Village Council gave third
reading and passed a by-law of the
schedule for . retention of documents for
Village of Lucknow at its December meet-
ing. The by-law sets out the period docu-
ments and records are to be retained
before they can be discarded. Clerk -treas-
urer Bertha Whitcroft said it will, take
almost a- week to sort through the
documents in storage because some papers'
have been kept more than 20 years.
Request Funding For Study
Council passed a motion authorizing'
Bruce County Planning Department to
make application to the Ministry of Muni-
cipal Affairs and Housing's community
study grant program for funding of a
• special policy area in the village's second-
• ary plan.
Meet With Ministry Official'•
Codiincil is to meet with an official of the
Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing
to prepare a municipal housing statement
to determine whether there is a need for a
rent supplement program in the village.
Discuss hiring by -14w enforcement officer
Lucknow Village Council discussed
hiring a by-law enforcement officer for the
village who would also be the village dog
catcher at their December meeting.
Councillor Ab Murray suggested the
village hire a by-law enforcement officer
who would also be the village's dog catcher
to avoid a duplication of services. For the
past year .Lucknow has participated in the
Bruce County program whereby the county
enforcement officer acts for the
village and the Nallage has also hired a dog,
catcher. ,
Lucknow pays an average of $250 a
month to participate in the county program
and hires a dog catcher as well who is paid
$35 per trip to the village. Some municipal-
ities participating in the county program
hire the by-law enforcement officer to be
their dog catcher as well..
• Consequently Lucknow is paying a share
of the cost to provide a dog catcher to some
municipalities in the county while hiring
• their own dog, catcher.
A 10 per cent administration fee is added
on to the average monthly payment
assessed to Lucknuw for inclusion in the
counts/ program.
• Councillor Herb Clark suggested con-
tacting Leo Murray to see if he would be
interested in the job as he has justresigned
• as county by-law officer. When Murray'
attended a council meeting to discuss the
property standards by-law, council is
preparing for Lucknow, he °suggested. he
might be interested in working as by-law
enforcement officer for several municipalit-
ies in the area and he had been approached
about such a position by at least two
neighbouring municipalities.
° Councillor Ab Murray .commented that
the county by-law enforcement officer is
making approximately $18,000. When Leo
Murray started in the position •seven or
eight years ago, said councillor Murray, he
was making about $10,000 a year, and
"look where it's got to.. That's a pretty •
expensive dog catcher". Murray said ne
wonders if the county program is too costly
for Lucknow. "It's like hydro, cable TV and
everything else. By next year we'll be
dollared to death. The county and the
province are awfully good at spending our
money," Murray added.,
'Percentage increases are the most
unfair procedure possible," said councillor
Clark.
"And unrealistic," observed Murray.
"We (the village of Lucknow) discontin-
ued percentage increases," said Clark.
"We did but the, county didn't,"
remarked Murray.
•Clark added that if you are going to give
increases it should be the same number of
dollars to everybody. •
