He advised the new council of the need for long-range planning, the creation of policies to benefit the majority rather than a vocal minori- ty and the development of good com- munications with the community so the public is given an explanation of plans and goals. Mickle said councillors should do their homework before council and committee meetings, and not make big decisions hastily. Ile compared a council.to a board of directors who set policies and let staff carry them out. ' Mickle presented new Reeve Jim Robinson with a copy of the Local Employment Assistance Develop- ment program, and said that though Exeter was below the national average on unemployment, the four - county unemployment rate two per- cent above average. He outlined the funding available for preliminary studies and additional grants to ex- pand local industries and establish new ones. Mickle said any applications in- itiated by Exeter were open to others wishing to come iri, and extended a welcome to Hensall. PUC Commissioner Harold Knight said the biggest problem facing the Hensall PUC was the increasing level of nitrate in the water. He explained that letters on this subject accompa- nying the monthly PUC bill were at the instigation of the medical officer of health. Knight said the well at the school is creeping up to six parts per million, and the out-of-town well is at the 11 level. He said only infants up to the age of six months are threatened, and wondered aloud if the high cost of mixing the water from the -two wells would be 'worthwhile, as the combin- ed reading would still be close to nine, and to parts per million are con- sidered undesirable. Knight said that when the Ilensall Co-op built its own hydro substation, it freed the village' substation to ex- pand to serve Hensall. Works superintendent John Baker was authorized to try out a sidewalk sander attachment on the Kubota tractor. Hensall will advertise for a dog catcher.
