Presbyterian church delegation questions parking polity At the first regular December meeting of Hensall council a delega- tion from Carmel Presbyterian Church questioned council members about the recent change in parking policy on Nelson Street. Several weeks ago, council decid- ed to enforce an old inactive bylaw prohibiting parking along the west side of Nelson Street from King to Queen Streets due to traffic prob- lems caused by poor visibility. "We wonder why now?" asked Al Hoggarth, "It is causing problems in the church parking." He stated that parishioners have not been able to park in front of the church be- cause the side of the street where parking is permitted has been full all weekend. Reeve Jim Robinson explained that an accident involving a motor- ist backing out of a driveway who could not see or be seen from the road because of parked cars, prompt- ed the posting of no' parking signs. But Robinson also cited improve- ments in fire protection and snow removal as a result of keeping one side of the street clear. Robinson noted that three institu- tions in that arca, the nursing home, the church and an apartment building, have no parking of their own and rely on street parking Councillor Peter Groot suggested that nursing home employees could be encouraged to park in the lot be- hind the Town Hall. "We feel it's a problem and we should bring it to council's atten- • tion," said Robert Bell: "There are other parts of town that have similar .problems, not the_ same, but similar," said councillor Cecil Pepper. He proposed a new parking bylaw in which parking for the entire village could be reviewed. Pcpper and councillor Butch Hoff- man agreed_ to examine the matter before Christmas. "Hopefully, we can come up with something," said Hoffman. Works superintendent John Baker reported to council a problem with the Christmas lights he has put up this past month. Apparently, some village youths enjoy stealing the bulbs and smashing them. Baker did not want the village to stop hanging decorations and hoped an item in the newspaper could pro- mote public awareness about the problem. "That will just make them take them all the faster," replied Hoff- man. The report of the dog catcher, Da- vid Groot, detailed the capture of one cat and one dog during Novem- ber. The report tells of a call from a concerned citizen who rescued a small dog without a tag lost during a snow storni. Groot took the dog to the veterinarian who was contact- ed by the owner. "'Well, it's old and half -blind any- way. rut it to sleep.' I hope I nev- er get lost, old and half -blind," the report reads. Council received a request from the Exeter and Area Minor Hockey Association for financial assistance to families of Hensall children who play hockey in Exeter. . "I think we should look after our own here first," said councillor Pe- ter Groot. Robinson agreed and thought it unfair to extend assis- tance to another arena when the Hensall arena still has a $46,000 deficit. . Hoffman noted only five families were sending their children to play in Exeter. "I would be more con- cerned if the residents would ap- proach council themselves," said Hoffman. - Counc'il also rejected a request from Family and Children's Servic- es for financial assistance. "If they've had good response from the town already, then our ratepayers have already supported it," said councillor Irene Davis. She considered it unreasonable to donate taxpayers' funds to the Ser- vices when the Fire Department's and Kinsmen's Christmas collec- tions met with considerable dona- tions already. Thc ministry of the environment has approved a 56,753 grant to- wards the cost of a needs study for a water distribution system in Hen- sall. The study is already under way through Steve Burns of B.M. Ross and Associates and the PUC. 3 3 3 3 A decision must be reached on whether or not Hensall will award any of the six medals available to the Community to recognize achievement in athletics or athletic support. The awards are part of the Winter Olympics Celebration 88 program. Davis, who auended the meeting outlining the award program, con- sidered a committee decision as ne- cessary for selecting award recip- ients. However, these decisions should be known in January so the ceremony can be completed before the end of February, possibly with the assistance of a member of Par- liament. "We can't participate in every- thing," said Robinson, adding that the tight deadline made selection of a committee, let alone the award recipients themselves, difficult. A decision was reached to bypass the selection committee and to place an advertisement in the civic corner and on cable television to receive nominations for possible award winners. - The new clerk -treasurer, Luanne Phair, was sworn into office under the 16th Hensall bylaw of -1987, replacing the 16th bylaw of 1977 which had placed previous clerk - treasurer Elizabeth Oke into office. ssiau t thIZSACAA¢AraAGAi'aAaasmoAtDskaAmsamsreaCtiathastfassaCstuaA6►Aas Thank You • .
