The present township landfill site on Concession 14 will be phased out in 1987 and no other municipalities have shown any interest in a joint venture. Other items listed by the reeve were continuing upgrading of the roads system, completing an agree- ment with Hay township regarding the Dashwood fire department and possible changes in the fire protection boundaries. Council will be asking the Ministry of Transportation and Communica- tions to install a traffic light on Highway 21 at the northerly edge of Grand Bend to allow better access to the highway during busy periods for residents of Grand Coves Estates. This is an alternative to a previous suggestion that the highway in this area be widened. Road superintendent Eric Fink- beiner was present to discuss the pro- cedure pf clearing snow during the -winter months. He was asked by 'council to prepare" a winter reeve cites need for new landfill site maintenance schedule for snowplow- ing for council members should they receive complaints from ratepayers and thus have a better explanation to give.

Usborne council agreed to pro- ceed with the update of the market value assessment for 1986 taxation purposes. John Garrett and Ted Ingham of the Huron -Perth regional assessment office wire in attendance to review with council the tax impact study that had been undertaken. The re -assessment will use 1980 pro- perty values as its base. The previous base was 1975 prdperty values. It was indicated that the assess- ment will be increased on most land values, while there will be little change in the assessment of buildings. Reeve Gerald Prout briefed coun- cil on information he has received from township solicitor Peter Ray- mond concerning two matters.' The first was .in relation to a building permit problem- being ex- perienced by G. Keymer. At their last meeting, council learned from building inspector Herman Van- Wieren that a building project and manure storage facility under con- struction by Reymer was in con- travention of the zoning bylaw and the manure storage bylaw. Council requested that the acting clerk -treasurer write Reymer re- questing further information and in- viting him to attend the next session of council to discuss (he matter. Prout advised that Gerald Francis had contacted him concerning a zon- ing change that is required for his pro- perty to permit the establishment of an abattoir for production of meat products for animal food. Council endorsed a resolution from. the Huron -Perth Roman Catholic Separate School Board which asks the Ontario government to take action to keep municipal and school board liability insurance costs at reasonable levels. Faced with an increase of 98 per- cent in renewal of their premium. the school board called on the Ontario at- torney general to alter or remove ex- isting legislation which is found to be responsible for the excessive lawsuits and court awards and further that the judicial system be examined to en- sure that subsequent awards do not adversely affect (he availability of in- surance nor the premium for such in- surance protection.
