The tractor is in good shape except for this problem, he said. *** Council approved awarding a contract to Lavis Contracting of Colborne Township council held a special meeting on July 29 to review the Social Contract legislation. Originally the township had been advised that their target saving would be $10,220. However, due to the provincial government changing the method in which the target figure would be calculated, the township's target saving was set at $1,180.36, which has been met since Colborne did not employ a summer student for 1993. Council held its regular bi- monthly meeting on Aug. 3. Council enacted a by-law authorizing the reeve and clerk to sign a Road Maintenance Agreement with Ken and Linda Brindley and the Hunter's Beach Cottage Association.

She suggested council hold another public meeting to discuss the proposal with the applicant, the government agencies and interested property owners. Council set a tentative date of Sept. 14. Council passed a by-law 22- 1993, to name a township road. Clinton for the paving of ablock of Thomas St. as a cost of $7,450. The paving will be undertaken because 35 per cent funding from the Ministry of Transportation for the curb and sidewalk construction at Church and John streets meant the village had additional construc- tion funds available. It was noted that unless the village uses its grant allocation it may be cut back next year. The work will be carried at the same rate as the previous contract for work on Church, John and Eliz- abeth Streets. *** No employees in Brussels will be affected by the province's "social contract" negotiations in 1993, Lori Pipe, acting clerk-treasurer told The road between County Road 31 and Concession 2, W.D. has now been officially named Westmount Road. The road had been known locally as Deviation Road, but had never been named by by-law. Council authorized and approved the payment of the bills and accounts in the amount $93,337.30 for the period ended July 31 as supported by the treasurer's list of Continued on page 7 A memorandum of agreement was signed by the school sector in Huron County, under the Social Contract Act. According to a media release on Aug. 5, the Huron County Board of Education (HCBE) has met with the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation District 45, the Hurdir,Women Teachers' Asso- ciation and the Ontario Public School Teachers' Federation to sign the agreement. The agreement assures the teach- ers' groups of the 20 percent dis- count on the required target because they signed prior to the Aug. 10th deadline. The school sector will now begin working on a local agreement to meet the targets imposed by the Social Contract. HCBE will require its teachers to accept approximately six days unpaid leave between Sept. 1,1993 and March 31, 1994. In the last two years of the deal, unpaid leave will vary across the province. council. Only one employee in the village ordinarily tops the $30,000 payroll floor set for those who were to have their salaries rolled back and she is currently on maternity leave which will leave a salary of less than $30,000. *5* A large item pick-up day will be scheduled for the fall so people can clean up their properties before Halloween. *** Complaints about thefts from cars were received by some coun- cillors. Residents are being warned to lock their cars to protect belong- ings. Another complaint was received about damage to a local home from vandals. *5* Councillors turned down a request by a local business that it be able to plant trees in front of its location. Councillors pointed out the difficulty of plowing the side- walk. "The idea's great but there's no room for the front end loader to get down the sidewalk," Reeve Gordon Workman said. "They would have to be responsible for shoveling the walk seven days a week." *5* No one currently with a loan under the Ontario Home Renewal Program (OHRP) will be effected by the province's cancellation of the program, Mrs. Pipe said. The village has been told it must send For the purpose of further cost cutting, there will also be a reduc- tion in the workforce when retiring staff is not replaced.
