The Huron Expositor, 1996-09-18, Page 3TMs HURON EXPOSITOR, S.ptsor Is, 1t S0-3 OPP talks about street dance problems At its Sept. 3 meeting, Sgt. Frank Young of the Goderich detachment of the OPP advised Seaforth Council it might be prudent to consider changing aspects of Seaforth's "Moonlight Madness" downtown, pro- moted by the BIA and mer- chants, in Tight of problems that arose this summer. "In order to have this as a licensed event, the manager of the hotel (Commercial) utilizes the liquor license he holds for the hotels and switches it to the outdoor location," Sgt. Young wrote. "I can assure you, having been one of three paid offi- cers hired for the event, approximately 1000 people were in attendance...There were several minor fights that broke out during the event and the crowd which eventu- ally dispersed some time after 2 a.m. gathered in the downtown core. "Problems then occurred on the Main Street which were only brought under control by calling in additional offi- cers from outlying areas at the town's expense. "This event was put on by private enterprise with the proceeds going into their pocket but the liability, should anything occur," his correspb Hence added, "would t; ll1 partially rest with thc Town who allows sjch events to take place." Ciderfest display CONTINUED from page 1 to have a display at the upcoming Cidcrfest on September 29 to promote the committee and possible gath- er information from those in attendance. The third idea was to approach the high school about having local history incorporated with next year's curriculum. Sub -committees were formed to deal with the three areas. The next meeting will be held on Thursday, October ) 0 at 7:30 p.m. in the second floor council chambers of town hall. Interested people are welcome to attend. • Meeting with LACAC CONTINUED from page 1 council made plans to get together . with LACAC before its October meetings. Reeve Bennett and Coun.

Council wants ABCA. zero increase Seaforth Council did not appreciate being asked on short notice to comment on next year's proposed budget of the Ausahle Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA), calling for a 14.8 per cent increase in its gener- al levy. The proposal was only received last Monday, the day before last week's regular meeting of council, and the conservation authority want- ed comments on the detailed 22 -page document by today (Sept. 18) so they could he considered for thc conserva- tion authority's regularly scheduled meeting tomorrow. "Digesting it is next to impossible,"said Deputy - Reeve Bill Teall. He said the document looked impressive but wasn't detailed enough, Scaforth's share wasn't stated and 1996 figures weren't given for comparison. ABCA's overall proposed general levy for 1997 is $395,335. This year's levy was $344,075. "If we brought a budget to the people like this we would he shot in our seats right here" exclaimed Reeve Bill Bennett. "We had to bite the bullet. No more than '96: Period'." Coun. Michael Hak agreed. He said ABCA appears to think municipalities will pick up its budgetary slack caused by Ontario government cut- backs. `We're cutting back and keeping things reasonable.
