Council reviews draft bylaw
As the implementation date for
tne 9-1-1 system draws nearer,
Blyth council reviewed a draft
bylaw, at the Jan. 31 session, which
set out policy for numbering of
buildings, affixing numbers, prop
erty identification and street signs.
Council discussed the size and
colour of numbers which should be
required as the draft bylaw stated
they could be 3” reflective or 5” if
not reflective.
Councillor Rob Lawrie suggested
the village go with 5” black num
bers.
However, it was also noted that
some residents may want to use
other numbers than those pur
chased by the village. That may be
permitted if the numbers meet the
policy requirements.***
With just two years before Blyth
marks its 125th aniversary, council
agreed to reserve some money for
the occasion. A committee will be
set up to begin making arrange
ments for 2002. They also encour
aged community organizations,
groups and individuals to begin
making plans now for the celebra
tion.
***
Clerk-Treasurer John Stewart
was authorized to send a letter to
the Blyth-Hullett landfill site board
asking that they reconsider their
position in respect to calling ten
ders for covering and digging at the
site.***
Council supported a resolution
from the City of Niagara Falls in
respect to petitioning the govern
ment to amend the Young Offend
ers Acts.
***
Councillor Murray Nesbitt will
attend a meeting held by Morris
Twp. council, Feb. 8, to discuss the
Bowes and Cockerline municipal
drain engineer's report.***
