This program responds to the public's growing interest in wildlife. it provides a hands-on program that gives volunteers a chance to improve condition's for wildlife directly and to enhance recreational pursuits that de- pend.on wildlife. ('.1h'.I.P. projects can include rais— ing certain game birds, enhancing wildlife habitat, monitoring wildlife populations or creating backyard habitat for wildlife. "interested groups and individuals are encouraged to submit wildlife pro- jects for this Ministry:s approval" said Wingham District Biologist Mike Malhiot. "Once approved, the pro- jects may receive funding to cover the costs of materials and equipment us- ed by the volunteer workers, who will receive the advice and expertise of the district's wildlife specialists." number of right angle bends will be protected from erosion by the con- struction of steps graded at three to four percent, which should be self- cleaning and not pick up silt. A 48" township culvert which has never had the full force of water will be replaced with a six-foot one.. The old culvert is still in excellent condi- tion, and Holdworth suggested it be used near the south town line, where one is needed. As no names were added to or withdrawn from the petition for clean- out and repairs, the bylaw was given first and second reading. A court of revision on the Forrest -Thompson drain 'will be held in the council chamber on Monday August 19. Tenders will be called for the same date. If there are no appeals, the work should be done this fall. Holdsworth reported he had met on- site with Harold and Paul Elder and Reeve Lionel Wilder after the Elders' request that a lower assessment be considered for hook-up into the Boersma drain. A motion initiated by Councillor Murray Keys was passed lowering the assessment to Paul Elder from $875 to $725. The first ex- penditure from that amount will be to install a catch basin on the east side of the second concession in front of lot nine. W.G. Bartlett and Associates were instructed to prepare revised schedules for maintenance on the Van Steeg and Boersma drains to accom- modate changes resulting from Elders' hook-up to the Boersma drain. Wilder expressed concern about possible future problems on the Koehler drain if culverts are too small at times to handle large flows of water from Hensall. Holdsworth was asked to study the culvert sizes and prepare a report for council. Wilder asked Holdsworth if the township should hold or return the deposit cheque for repairs to the Logan-Datars drain, as "a lot of wet ponding" is causing problems in one area o1{ the west side of the main tile, and Wilder speculates a tile must not be working. Holdsworth said the che- que could be returned, as a contrac- tor is responsible for his work for a year after a job is completed, whether he's been paid or not. Bill Monnikendam, representing the Lakewood Gardens South Association, attended the council ses- sion to ask what could be done about in - cent :a=rllnlftWtl)tlfltil7l'aZii i Bryans of St. Marys which Mont nikendam described as an eyesore. Monnikendam said taxpayers in the subdivision feel this building is devaluing other property in the area. Wilder said Hay township does not yet have either a zoning bylaw or a property standards bylaw. He pro- mised to check with the building in- spector to see whether or not the structure complies with the building code, and talk to the Medical Health Officer to ensure that their regula- tions are not being violated. Steve Burns of B.M. Ross and Associates Ltd. came to the meeting to discuss the waste disposal site us- ed by Hay and Zurich. Matters such as a buffer area and acquisition of more land will be discussed with lan- downer Anastasia Martin and neighboring Zurich in the near future. Councillors agreed not to up -date assessments to a 1980 market value basis, as the present 1975 value is more realistic than the inflated prices prevailing five years ago. Council held a special meeting on July 15 to authorize a sewer hook-up for the Hay ball diamond after per- mission was granted to cut across the road. The cost will be $400. A $200 pay- ment for a water connection charge for installation of a :6 r" service line by the Zurich Water System was also authorized. . The meeting adjourned at 11:10 p.m. Yyi Bert M. Francis will celebrate his 99th birthday on July 29.
