Councillor Bruce Woodleyexpress- ed his concern about the village's old beach cleaner being traded for work. 4 -le could find no record in the minutes and felt that a poll of three members should have been done. Councillor Dennis Snider advised Woodley that contractor Ken Lovie had received the beach cleaner in exchange• for work which included a trench for the sewerline to the new washrooms located behind the Public Works building. Also a line was dug to a catch basin. An account for this work was to be submitted to the office for the value of the labour. Snider explained that before ex- changed the beach cleaner for the work, a poll of three people was con- ducted. Leo Ducharme, who had done repairs on the machine, was con- sulted and he advised that the beach cleaner was worthless. Snider said that because council was considering the purchase of a new cleaner, it was considered to be a wise decision to ex- change the old one for this work for the village: Council was provided with informa- tion on the sewer surcharge rates and the deficit projected for 1985. As a result, the rates will be increased substantially for next year to correct the situation. Numerous items were discussed for the ONIP applications for '86-'87 term. The deadline for the application is January 31, 1986. Included in the ap- plication, subject to eligibility, are seniors sidewalk, lift for the municipal building, playground equipment, streetlighting program, garbage receptacles for the beach and the main street, picnic tables. benches, repairs to the dock area. paving in front of the firehall, renovate the Public Works bldg.. prepare lands for parking lot. (recreation field), MacLaren Walkway, and street signing. The total amount submitted was $258.000. It was moved by Snider and second- ed by Councillor Doreen Seguin that council concur with the planning ad- visory to request the committee to turn down the severence application of Gerplex Ltd. in its present form. Because of the zoning, residential would be abutting commercial, and larger lots would result in better plan- ning for the area. Deputy -reeve Harold Green made a motion that GB council authorize a letter to Gerry Sanders, businessman, advising him that on instructions given a special talent or talents. These talents are to be used to build up and help the body of believers, by reaching out to others in Christian service. The closing prayer was led by Millie Desjardine. S&whojfrhas the bei ratet!
