Most side streets were jammed with parked cars. and the problem was discussed at Grand Bend's council meeting Tuesday evening. The discussion carne up after residents along Morenz Lane complained that their garbage wasn't collected Monday. Council learned that the garbage truck couldn't get down the street due to the number of parked cars. Councillor Keith Crawford pointed out that if the garbage truck couldn't get through, then how could a fire truck get through in an emergency. Reeve Robert Sharen reported that three cars which had been blocking streets were towed to the village's compound Sunday. The village has an agreement with Dale's Esso to tow vehicles which are blocking traffic to the compound located behind the Esso. Council agreed that more cars will have to be towed, if drivers continue to block streets with parked cars.

It was announced this spring that a new post office will be erected on the site of the present building, and the old building will be moved and sold. Grand Bend council is considering buying the post office as a municipal building. They met with two representatives to discuss the sale of the building. Doug Saunder and Roger Blackwell both appeared before council to discuss the sale. Reeve Robert Sharen outlined two options. First, council agreed to let them move the post office to the parkette opposite the present site. They would continue to operate it from that location until the new building is ready. Second, council suggested that it be moved to a permanent foundation adjacent to the Bank of Montreal, continued to be used as a post office until the new facility is ready, then taken over by the village. Deputy Reeve Harold Green introduced a third option. He suggested that the post office be put on a permanent foundation at the parkette, and be left there as a municipal office. Saunder said that the village could have the building if they paid for all costs of moving it. deal for post office It was estimated that It would cost $40,000 to make the building suitable for the village. Green said that cost was too high, and suggested that the post office share the moving expenses., He said that if they let the post office move the building, then submit a tender for it later, they might be able to purchase it at a lower price. Councillor Keith Crawford agreed with Green, saying that it will cost over $6,000 to move the building, and then bricks would have to be replaced. After a lengthy discussion, council decided to give the matter more consideration. Saunder said that he would like to know their response by Friday. In another delegation before council, Bruce Woodley returned to ask about planting beach grass to control sand erosion in front of his cottage on the north beach. Sharen said that Terry Crabe at Pinery Park had agreed to make a master plan for planting the special grass, and no decision could be made until costs were known. Council also heard about water erosion problems from Harold Skinner. Skinner said that water run off and puddles were a problem on his street. Skinner also complained about dogs running loose and being on the beach. Councillor Dennis Snider said he would contact dog catcher Donna Aitken about the problem. Botts Skinner and Woodley complained about noisy boats in the water. Sharen said they should get the number of the loud boat and contact the police. In other business: Council receivea a letter from Huron Country Playhouse with regards to their connection with the village's sewage lagoons. The Playhouse, in response to an inquiry from council, said that they had an accurate meter for sewage at the playhouse, and the cost prohibited them from installing a second meter at the lagoon. The playhouse last year agreed to pay twice what the village tax payers pay to use the lagoon. Council also received several complaint letters from residents concerning restoration work after sewers were installed. Many residents are complaining about driveways and streets not adequately restored after excavation. Council received a letter from Royal Trust offering them \the Grand Bend airport including 420 acres for a price in excess of $1 million. Coancil laughed at the idea of purchasing the old airport. "If we bought it, we'd just be ordered by the 'government to let everybody else use it," Crawford said facetiously. Council was pleased to receive a letter praising their action. Brian Gammage wrote to council that he supported them in not allowing Grand Cove Estates to pay less than village taxpayers for the sewage system. "It's not fair for village taxpayers to subsidize Grand Cove," Gammage wrote. Council decided to accept an offer from the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority for trees and shrubs to plant. The trees are available at $2 and $5. Green told council that he had received several complaints about businesses being open too late. He said that businesses are to close by 2:30 a.m., ,but many still have customers inside even after they shut the door. Council passed a by-law to borrow $60.000 from the Bank of Montreal. Clerk Louise Clipperton explained that she needed the money to carry over until taxes are . paid. She explained that taxes are slow coming In because of the mail strike.
