Reeve Carol Mitchell explained the meetings are being held primari- ly to discuss the proposed change in council representation. Under the proposal, in the next election the Hullett Ward would lose one repre- sentative, going from two council- lors to one. Ward 1 (Goderich Twp.) would gain one councillor, going from two to three, while Ward 3 munity's water and sewage systems.

The changes are being proposed, Mitchell said, "to reflect the density in population." The proposed changes, she said, will be addressed during each of the meetings in the three wards, and the public will be given the opportunity for input. to the permitted limits. He said occasionally exceeding the limits wouldn't be a major prob- lem but AWS wanted to keep below the Certificate of Approval if possi- ble. Various types of lawn watering restrictions were discussed but many on council worried about enforcing a watering bylaw. Councillor Joe Seili commented, "You can pass all the bylaws you soundtrack on the movie Shrek. They saw The Lion King. On the way they stopped for supper at the Hard Rock Café.

"We're looking for public input from Wards I and 2," she said. After the official portion of the public meetings, council members will make themselves available for discussion on an information basis want, but they are just waste paper if they are not enforced." Early in the discussion Councillor Greg Wilson suggested, "If water is area rated and the ratepayers are willing to pay for it why should we be passing rules against it (lawn watering)." Several councillors pointed out that since most water was billed at a flat rate people who used excessive amounts weren't really paying for their share. Wilson admitted that probably, "people won't really mind until they are on meters and see the effect" on water bills. Council eventually decided to run an ad requesting that people volun- tarily restrict their lawn watering. The suggested method will allow watering on alternate days depend- ing upon whether your house has an even or an odd street number. over coffee. During this part of the meeting, Mitchell said, council will be seeking answers to the question, "How are we doing?" Council, she said, is currently halfway through its first term, and, "We would like to hear from ratepayers. How has our perform- ance been? Are there areas of con- cern we should be spending more time on?" she said. "Council is look- ing for input on the direction we've set."
