Heightened attention helps with by-law

always willing to listen to a person who has received a
parking ticket and if the rationale or explanation for the
offence is valid, the tickets are voided. Each year, the number
of tickets voided is quite numerous. 'Ihe co-operation oldie
( )PP officers, l aaubton Shores' staff and Council allowed offic-
ers to apply municipal bylaws in a fair but firm manner," she
says.
Heightened attention in Plan 24 during peak periods
achieved the desired result of fewer complaints and better
behavior by tenants,
"For the most, part landlords were cooperative and made
attempts to educate their tenants as to the bylaws and rights
of neighbours," said McKenzie's report. "Extra patrols also
helped. 'The busiest period for tenant misconduct ran from
late April until the last week of June when we had a record
number of rental units used for prom parties. In addition to
cottage rentals, there are "prom buses" that arrive, and con-
vey a number of !millers to the area as well. This activity
is spreading throughout the town and will probably increase
in future years. 'That being said, the attitude and behaviour of
the prone kids was mucin better than in previous years. A good
portion of the extra hours budgeted was used during this
period. We have to remember that education and acceptance
of what we expect from landlords and tenants is a process
and doesn't occur overnight; however, the process appears to
be well underway."
Parking 'tickets
A total of 1459 parking tickets were issued with the normal
average being 1900.
"Officers issued 399 parking tickets on Main St. Based on
100 days; this is an average of four tickets per day. Again the
County EMS bring food

The Huron County HMS will be touring the county Sat-
urdays in November, collecting donations for the food
bank distribution centre. The roaming food drive allows
Huron County's paramedics to get to know the people
they help and serve, and more importantly, allow people
in the county to get to know paramedics.
llumn County EMS has organized a food drive for four
consecutive Saturdays in the month of November. 'There
will he 1111 ambulance with paramedics stationed outside
of various grocery storms within the county collecting
non-perishable food hems, trying to stuff the truck. 'This
is an excellent chance to speak with a paramedic and
learn what their Joh Involves, and the public will have a
chance to explore an ambulance inside and out.

the process of signage and education is
working. Officers use their discretion as

Main Beach
There were no significant bylaw problems on the Main
beach this summer. Frequently, a bylaw officer would patrol
with an ()PP officer and ()PP laid numerous charges for alco-
hol. All weekends had extra bylaw beach patrols and every
weekend heachgoers had to remove their bbq's from the
beach and parking areas. Again, in the ambassador role, says
staff, if food has been partially cooked they are allowed to fin-
ish.'Ihis is an education process and it is usually those first
timers that bring bbq's. Better signage would be helpful and
perhaps something on the web if it isn't already there. I will
do a separate report for signage later in the year.
Fire Safety
McKenzie said they also conducted fire/safety inspections
at several rental properties throughout the summer. Proper-
ties at Queens Ave, Warwick Ave, Shady Lane, Elmwood Ave,
Ontario St, Centre St, and Huron Ave were inspected. Gener-
ally most properties passed the minimum standards such as
smoke detector or CO2 placement, and emergency exit infor-
mation etc. A couple of properties had some structural issues
which were ordered remedied by the CBO or Fire Chief and
future follow up inspections scheduled.
Financial Implications
None at this time. Any recommendations from the By-law
Officers to improve service or better educate the public will
be presented during the annual budget review.
