The past council who felt there needed to be a group who could be seen as an advi- sory committee regarding any proposed collection systems under the umbrella of the municipality initiated this group. Ads went into the newspaper asking those from zones 3 and 4 (Southcott Pines to the Pinery) to show their inter- est through an application process. After the selection process was com- plete, those joining municipal members mayor Bill Weber, deputy mayor Eliza- beth Davis Dagg and councilors Dave Maguire and Doug Bonesteel are resi- dents of zones 3 and 4 Ernest Lewis, Richard Faber, Carl Belke, Adrian Vro- lyk, Ronald Haire and James Munn. Before beginning the issues at hand, chair Carl Belke announced himself and Lewis would be taking a leave of absence from the Zone 3 committee until the adhoc committee was completed. 'Ihis group said they are asking coun- cil if they can expand their mandate to include the taxpayer costs for the pro- posed sewage treatment facility. They said this would not infringe upon the progress the Tri -municipal group is working towards. 'Iheir motion to coun- cil is, "'That the terms of reference of the Ad Hoc Committee he expanded to include that the Committee will review taxpayer issues and concerns pertain- ing to the S'I'F and the need for the extension of wastewater services to the residents and businesses of Zone 3 & 4, as identified in the "Municipalities of Lanlbton Shores, Bluewater and South Huron (;rand Bend Area Sanitary Sew- age Servicing Master Plan dated the 21st day of February, 2006 and slake recommendation (s) to Council on the need for such a system and the 44, Colonial Parking Lot Wednesdays 8 am - 1 pm Local Produce This Week *PEACHES,* PLUMS, * ZUCCHINI, •BLUEBERRIES, *HARVEST APPLES *SWEET CORN, *BEANS, *MEATS AND MORE,,. www. grandbendfarmersmarket.ca Ai The project has been quite controversial and there is lots of good and bad information out there that is of concern to residents. — John Byrne preferred option to service these areas if a need is established The concern regarding this request was that the criteria to be chosen for this group was that you needed to be residents of zones 3 and 4 and that the matters would concern zones 3 and 4. If that mandate was to change- the original criteria may not fit, 'Phis was scheduled to conte up at council after the Lake- shore Advance went to press this week. 'The group talked about the current Offal Plan (OP) that is in its fourth draft. 1t was discussed that most aspects of the OP have some regard to a sewer system. 'they won- dered if there hands were tied to the OP. At the last sleeting Davis-Dagg noted that the DRAFT Official Plan wouldn't be presented to Council until sometime in October. Maguire noted that the Municipality is somewhat constrained by Provincial Policy Statements that are guiding municipalities to develop new developments on full servicing (sanitary sewers). Davis 1)agg explained they were not tied to the provincial policy in this case. Bonesteel pointed out that the Official Plan is a lot broader in scope than the servicing of Zones 3 & 4. Vrolyk echoed this opinion. Weber suggested that the Committee obtain a clarifica- tion from the Planner on this point Bonesteel said they should invite the planner to the next meeting. CAO report In a report deferred and not discussed at the meeting came from CA() John Byrne as an overview of the STE and Collection systems.

As the committee can see the continents about a $70,000,000 project at $35,000 per household is causing some alarm from residents, as is the inference that the project is being driven by Development.
