Citixe u:; Q �Y.:► Mrs. Carmel Sweeney Phone: 236.4702 Hay rejects Exeter fire proposal Hay Township Council Tuesday evening rejected the changes sug- gested by Exeter Town Council to the Exeter and Area Fire Department draft agreement. Exeter had asked that the present seven -member board be sup- plemented by one additional member representing Exeter. Deputy Reeve Claire Diechert noted that this would give Exeter the majority on the board and would reduce the voting power of the townships. "(tow stupid do they think we are?" asked Councillor Gerald Shatnz. Reeve Lionel Wilder also remark- ed that. -Exeter -Council had ignored virtually everything that Hay township had asked for in the new agreement. Ile took particular issue with the request that the payment for any municipality be fixed at a minimum of five percent. " Our agreement is based on assess- ment, not minimums or maximums". he said. Wilder added that because of the present tax assessment of Clay township. -they pay presently only three and one-half percent of the total cost of the Fire Department, a sum which was $2,146.91 for the past three months. Counsellor Don Wiegand suggested that "only Exeter gains with the assessment change." Consequently a QUIET TIME.-- Zurich playground supervisor Rita Denomme leads the children taking part in the sum- mer playground program in -an action song about green speckled frogs. motion was passed that the draft agreement be returned to Exeter council requesting that the townships not be required to pay the cost of Ex- eter's hydrants, that the board be kept at its present representation, that no minimum cost be applied to members of the fire area, and that the agreement be open to change and negotiation at any time at the request of the members. Ilay township farmer Morris Ver- munt appeared before the council to request that he be allowed to extend a water pipeline from his farm on Ilighway 21 to his property on the 14th concession. Wilder explained that even though the properties were ad- joining, the present water distribution bylaw did not allow for pipelines to be extended outside of the area of distribution or the deferred area. tV'ilder observed that even if an ex- ception to the bylaw were permitted, the pipeline would have to be built at Vermunt's own expense, costing at least $10,000, Wilder added that fully subsidized water distribution to the 14th Conces- sion would become a reality in the future, and he suggested that Ver- min( wait and save himself the ex- pense. however, at Vermunt's in- - sistence, Wilder assured him that he would discuss the matter with the water project engineer to explore the possibility of. a waterline extension. Robert Westlake, representing the Board of Directors of the Blue Water Rest }Ionic, appeared before council to voice his concerns about the pro- posed site of the new Zurich Men- nonite Church. Ile agreed thdt he saw no problem with the location itself, but he was worried about the church or its parking lot blocking the view of the lake from the residents of the Rest home. Ile was also concerned about potential problems that might arise over snow clearance from the Home's own parking lot, or the effect on the septic tank system caused by the location of the church's parking lot. Iluron County Planner Patty Munkittrick presented the proposed amendment to the zoning bylaw on behalf of the Zurich Mennonite Church, but advised that if council wished to address Mr. Westlake's concerns, it might be desirable to wait until concept plans for the church are available and then assess whether the zoning amendment can be passed as presented or whether a site plan con- trol. bylaw is required. - -Council-agreed-with-Munkittrick, but added that in addition to specifics about, road set -back and the location of the church parking lot, the concept plans should also detail the intended fnlf.'
