This lot has assisted the Municipality within the North Area since amalgamation. The site consists of a four bay garage, a salt dome and accessory storage sheds. Originally, the lease agreement was $1.00/year and expired in 2007. The Municipality was responsible for any smaller repairs, and utitlties. Huron County has now notified Lambton Shores that they would be willing to finalize a new lease agreement with the Municipality at a cost of $42,000/year. This offer would allow the Municipality to remain on the property how- ever the salt dome, which is in need of a roof repair, would not be available as the County is unwilling to repair the roof. Therefore the Municipality would still be required to travel to Townsend Line to purchase sand and salt prod- uct for the winter season. It was noted that if the the Municipality opts to vacate the site; Huron County will permit the Community Services Department 60 days to vacate the property. The Deptartment has been discussing this situation and believes that with- out the salt dome being included within the agreement there is really no service benefit for the Municipality of Lambton Shores to continue operating from this area. Staff do have the abil- ity to continue its level of service through oper- ating from the Grand Bend PUC building and the MAKt'QWisH Because some wishes can't wait /i• .'c»»(w(I '. 1 -tiSti- .22-9 1 7 1 Northville Depot. Since this cost was not included within the operating budget the Community Services Department will notify Huron County the municipality will not be accepting their lease offer of $42,000.00 per year for leasing of the property.
