North
Huron
passes
peddler's
bylaw
By Bonnie Gropp
Citizen editor
North Huron council passed a
bylaw to licence, govern and
regulate hawkers, peddlers,
refreshment vehicles and transient
traders atits Monday night meeting.
Director of finance/treasurer
Donna White explained that the
_bylaw is a new requirement under
the municipal act. "Its purpose is to
treat everyone fairly?'
White said there are three
components to the bylaw: health and
safety, nuisance and consumer
protection. The latter two fall under
municipal concerns while the first is
looked after by the health unit.
The bylaw remains in place for
five years or until repealed.
There will be no fee for non-profit
-groups, nor for local home-grown
produce sellers.
One of council's concerns is with
the travelling furniture auctions.
They had earlier asked White to look
into whether there was some way to
deter them from coming to the
community with a higher licence
fee. White said that they fall under
the same category as produce vendor
and therefore cannot be treated
differently.
"It's not a money maker. It's not
meant to be." - •
The fee would be a flat fee of $200
per day for everyone.
"Mere is no way to separate them.
I know that's not what you wanted,
only it's the proper way to do it."
Though the moving auctions are a
cause of concern, most notably for
local merchants from whom they
take business, White said, "there is
really no way to prohibit them."
Another concern, she noted is that
as the auctions are typically held in
the Knights of Colombus Hall,
which is not under the control of
North Huron, the municipality may
not know they are being held until
the auction has taken place.
The bylaw will be monitored and
changes made in the future if
necessary. -
Official
plan goes
to county
committee
By Bonnie Gropp
Citizen editor
North Huron council passed its
official plan on Monday night at the
regular council meeting.
Senior planner Brian Treble
explained that the next step now
will be for the plan to go to the
health and planning committee of
county council for approval. That
meeting would be Jan. 11.
If approved there, the plan will
then come before county council at
the February meeting after which
there will be a 20-day appeal period.
