HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1985-12-23, Page 1Inaugural Hay Council makes appointments for new term Father Paul Mooney officiated at the swearing-in and inauguration of the 1985-88 Hay township council. He noted that honesty and leadership head the virtues needed by anyone with the courage to run for public of- fice, and -wished the new council well as they face the challenges of the next three years. .Refilling a list of appointments was the first order of business. Councillor Gerald Shantz was appointed to the Zurich recreation, parks and com- munity centre board, and new Coun- cillor Don Weigand will sit on the Dashwood Community Centre and recreation boards. The two newly elected councillors will also serve on the Hay township recreation board. Deputy Reeve Claire Deichert will continue to act as representative to the Zurich Agricultural Society. Reeve Lionel Wilder accepted the appointment to the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority on the understanding that if an ABCA meeting date conflicted with a Hay or Huron County session, the latter two would be given preference. Deichert and Shantz will serve on the Zurich and area fire board, and Councillor Murray Keys" will repre- sent Hay on both the Exeter and Hen - salt fire area boards. Until formal agreement is signed with Stephen township, the entire council will take part in negotiations to form a new Dashwood area fire board. Clerk Joan Ducharme sup- plied figures showing Hay's 1984 assessment of the northern part of the police village of Dashwood to be $145,836, and Hay's total assessment within the present boundaries con- sidered for the fire area was $654,084. Comparable figures for Stephen in the 1984 assessment were $1,183,735, which includes $195,467 for their part of Dashwood village. Neither total includes exempt pro- perties such as churches and schools. Wilder said Hay assents to beginn- ing negotiations on a proposed 64-36 sharing ratio for Stephen and Hay. provided the present boundaries of the areas to be protected are not altered. Any adjustments would have to be discussed and agreement reach- ed on terms -acceptable to Hay township. As Lloyd Mousseau no longer owns property in Hay, Gerald Thiel was ap- pointed to succeed him as the township's Tile drainage inspector. Keys will act as drain inspector for concessions one to six, Claire Deichert for concessions seven to 10. Shantz for concessions 11 to 13, and Weigand for concessons 14 to 17 and Lake Road East and West.

Jake Schroeder will carry on as stock evaluator, and Lloyd Wolper, Ross Corbett and Don Rader will be fence viewers for another term. Hubert Miller was reappointed as building inspector. He will be given the option of continuing as animal control officeLnow that council has combined thi lis of distributing dog tags and picking up strays. Council next turned to an item that dominates most Hay agendas - drains. After reviewing a letter from Haskett-Hodgins Engineering drainagsuperintendent, proposing a $2,400 so\ition to a problem with the Forcier rain at St. Joseph, council decided to defer any action because of present wet conditions. All agreed a couple of loads of stones dumped on township property at the end of the municipal drain would slow the flow of water into the gully just as effec- tively as the more expensive spillway proposed from the engineering firm. Terry Caldwell's request for repair to the Mousseau municipal drain at lot 16, concession five was accepted. The ditch is silting, the field eroding, and the bank washing away. Council believes a load of stones there should solve that problem without having to call in the drainage inspector. • Backhoe operator Raymond Mathonia will be called in to find an obstruction of the Thiel drain in Jack Neeb's garden which has flooded his _ basement and required three sump pumps to get rid of the water. At the same time, the backhoe operator will be asked to dig a trench on top of the tile on Gordon Hay's laneway to solve a recurring water problem there. Road superintendent Ross Fisher was instructed to obtain crushed • stone to. put in both excavations. Wilder and Keys will walk the Logan-Datars drain east of the Parr Line looking for obstructions before a decision is made on a repair request from Glen Hayter. The courtof revision on the Becker - Bender drain will be reconvened on January 6 at 2:00 p.m. As engineer Bruce Holdsworth acceded to Jerome Watson's request to have his acreage reduced, and informed Don Regier his proposed rerouting would be too costly, all assessed property owners will be notified of the date. No one attended the reading of the preliminary report on the Neeb municipal drain. Faced with the op- tion of reducing the flow by installing an inline junction box and restrictor where the offest catch basin connects at the juncture of lots 18 and 19 on con- cession 9 at a cost of $800 for labour and materials, or increasing the capacity for ten times that amount in dollars, council voted for the more economical solution. The engineer had recommended the latter. but said restricti9g the flow to a six- inch diameter at the catch basin could be tried as a temporary measure. Wilder said the route council has chosen may not solve the problem completely , but should make quite a difference. Council decided to to finish paving the north end of the second concession and the Bronson (concession 11-12t Council will hold its second December meeting next Monday.
