County council briefs County seeks Hwy. 4 upgrade before 1999 IPM Acting on a request from the Town of Exeter, Huron County council has asked that the Ministry of Transportation upgrade Hwy. 4, south of Exeter before the 1999 International Plowing Match (IPM) at Dashwood. The issue of severances came before West Wawanosh council, Jan. 20. Consent was given to Ben and Jenny Hogervorst to sever 10 acres of Lot 19, Conc. 14, for the cre- ation of a new lot. The newly creat- ed lot frontage of 305 metres must be located in the centre of Lot 19. In a second motion, regarding the same property, consent was sought to sever 95 acres with the condition that the existing coverall not be used for livestock production. The agriculture and public works committee noted that the county is planning to upgrade Cty. Rd. 83 (formerly Hwy. 83) to improve access to the site. *** The motion passed with a 3-2 recorded vote. Councillor Stuart Alton and Deputy-Reeve Walter Elliott voted against the severance. Authorization was given for the township solicitor to proceed with court action to collect outstanding gross receipts from Huron- Telecommunications, Ripley. John Bos went before council to discuss the condition of Conc. 2. Council said they would deal with his concern of too narrow a road, during the road tour in the spring. In his monthly report to the administration, finance and person- nel committee, Graeme Craig, chair of the 1999 IPM committee, said the group had secured access to the land needed for the match, a total of 2,500 acres. Council agreed to reimburse Chief Building Official Karl McNaughton, one quarter of the cost ($365) for his attendance at conferences and courses and asso- ciation dues for 1998. A grant of $100 was given to the Huron County Plowmen's Associa- tion. Approval for payment was given for road and general accounts, in the amounts of $4,017.76 and '23,553.62. The match also has its own inter- net website (www.ipm99.on.ca) to provide information about the match and the county. A large delegation will leave by bus Sunday for the Ontario Plow- men's Association annual meeting in Kingston. *** The social and cultural services committee and the Huron County Museum will work with the Town of Seaforth to assist in setting up a museum in the town dealing with local history. *** The Ontario Provincial Police will provide a quote on providing county-wide police services before the end of April. Sgt. Brad Seltzer of the Goderich OPP and Staff Sgt. Brian Baldwin and Sgt. Ray Davis of the Munici- pal Policing Section at Orillia, attended the Jan. 22 meeting of the administration, finance and person- nel committee to discuss the matter. A motion was made at the September meeting of council to seek a quote for the cost of county- wide policing to find the most eco- nomical way of providing policing services, now that all municipalities must pay for police services. The county had to provide infor- mation on such things and popula- tion, number of households and municipal land area, before the OPP could provide its quote.

People are now also dealing with ice removal from overloaded roofs. There is a lot to the aftermath of the ice storm.
