A comprehensive bylaw to establish and maintain a system for collection, removal and disposal of garbage, ashes and other refuse throughout the village was drawn up at a special meeting on February 25 and given first reading at the regular March session. Works superintendent John Baker said that currently, with collection done by a private contractor and local industries trucking their own waste to the dump, the village has no control over what goes to the landfill site. After obtaining legal advice regar- ding proper wording, clerk Betty Oke will advertise for proposals to tender for garbage pick-up in Hensall. Hensall parks board committee chairman Butch Hoffman and arena manager Aldon Vanstone attended the meeting to review the proposed 1985 budget. Included in estimated ex- penditure of $141,012 is an equipment reserve fund of $20,000. Hoffman said a decision will soon have to be made between adding either air condition- ing or a water circulation and purification system. Both are desirable, but can't be afforded at the same time. The budget also includes salary for a third full-time staff member, to be available to help the works superintendent when necessary. The expected 1985 deficit will be $51,887. The budget was approved and pass- ed by council. Hensall's share of the Hay-}lensall- Tuckersmith area fire budget of $25,062 will be $12,531. Remuneration for 1985 for members of the Hensall fire depart- ment were set, representing five per- cent increases. The chief will receive $41 per month plus $25 for expenses; the deputy will get a monthly retainer of $33, and each captain $22 per month. Fire engine mechanics will receive $17.5:0 per month plus $3.25 per week for mechanic duties per- formed on each truck; the secretary will be paid a monthly retainer of $17.50 plus $3.24 per week, and each fireman will receive a monthly re- tainer of $15. Each officer who attends at least 80 percent of the monthly fire practices is eligible for an annual incentive bonus of $25. Payment for response to a false alarm is $4.25 each, and $9 per hour will be paid for time spent fire- fighting, on standy-by, or on hose time. Parking bylaw enforcement officer Herman Van Wieren reported that court action has been instituted on 24 unpaid traffic tickets issued in January and the first week in February. A $500 grant to the Drinking/Driv- ing Prevention Committee was authorized, and council's liaison Kim Marsden was commended for the fine job she is doing: Smith Brothers Construction, Seaforth, will be contacted and ask- ed to d o something about the deteriorating front steps at the town hall.
