The mayor said the last council meeting resulted in mayhem and that would not happen again. He explained this meeting was a briefing ses- sion for council and there would be no debate or actions taken relative to the briefing. Deputy mayor Elizabeth Davis Dagg made a motion that stated since the expert, Dr. Louise'Pasfi, of Dillon Consulting was there, this would be a good opportunity for the public to ask questions. "This is a coun- cil meeting, not a public meeting" explained Weber. John Russell said this was not the intention of this meeting. Councilor Martin Underwood questioned if this, the question period from the gallery, was permitted, what about the people who would have liked to speak but were not aware there was a public meeting. Davis- Dagg asked if in the future people would be able to ask questions of this expert. The deputy mayor's motion to let the gallery ask questions, at this nlc'eting, was lost. The facility and its background Dr. Louise Taski, of Dillon caro` to council, at their request, to brief the new members regarding the Grand Bend and area master sanitary sewer treatment facil- ity.'Ihis project includes the former Village of Grand Bend and the surrounding area including portions of Lambton Shores, South I luron and Bluewater, and also Pin- ery Provincial Park. The Master Plan out- lines sanitary sewage infrastructure improvements that am required over the next 20 years to meet the needs of existing and future development. lion sanitary sew- age coverage was recommended. A com- bination of low pressure and conventional collection systems was the preferred method of servicing the study area. The expansion and upgrade of the S'1'F was identified as the preferred solution for meeting immediate and future sewage treatment needs and Dr. Taski explained why. For the mechanical treatment two of the former lagoon cells are to be used as wet- lands for sludge storage. One of the other former lagooncells will b e split, with a por- tion of the lagoon converted into a waste sludge stabilization lagoon and the remainder used to store wet weather flows.
