Fenwick. resigns. his Zurich council seat Zurich councillors accepted with regret the resignation of Ken Fen- wick, effective February 10, when they met for their regular: February session on February 18. (The meeting had been delayed for a week because of a snowstorm.) -- - The vacancy will be advertised in thc local newspapers, and Fenwick's successor will be chosen at the March meeting. Cpuncillor Herb Turkheim, coun- cil's representative on the economic development committee, reported stirrings of interest from a number of developers. He said people repre- senting one subdivision area want to meet with thc committee on February 22. Turkheim said "It sounds sort of encouraging." An agent acting for the Sirotec holdings will talk to councillors in March, after being brought up to date on past action. Turkheim said developer Gord Philips confirmed he now has the money to start developing his sub- division. As there have been several ap- peals about assessments on the pro- posed cleanout and construction on the Zurich drain, the matter will be decided before the provincial drain- age tribunal. Reeve Bob Fisher asked council- lors to amend a motion from last October, and add Henry Hcndrik's name to the. list of Hay township property owners whose net assess- ments the village of Zurich had of- fered to pay. Fisher said he had given the matter a great deal of thought, and concluded "I think we were wrong and unfair. We should treat everyone the same". Turkheim objected, saying he understood council had agreed to withdraw its offer of help to any- one who appealed to the tribunal. Fisher compared that to holding a baseball bat over someone. Coun- cillor -Paul Morrison recalled that the original policy was changed last fall. Turkheim noted that)the proposal would go against the ad- vice given to the village by a law- yer. The amendment was passed without a recorded vote. The municipality has been con- tacted by the OPP, who want to know if Zurich would like to have a service office set up in the vil- lage. These part-time offices are offered to municipalities that are more than 10 miles from the near- est detatchment. Turkheim reported that Bayfield now has a service office, and is very pleased with the arrangement. An OPP officer is in the resort for a couple of hours each day. Fisher said he had no objection to supplying space in the munici- pal building, provided there were no additional costs. An OPP representative will be asked to attend the next meeting to provide more details. Turkheim reported that members of the Zurich PUC had met with Dashwood representatives, and were working on an agreement be- tween the two municipalities. The sewage billing rate for Dashwood. is unchanged, and will be left at 65¢ per bill. The meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m. so councillors could meet with Huron County planner Scott Tousaw.

Fire budget to -cost Hay around $11,000 At the second regular meeting for the month of February, Hay Town- ship council voted to accept the 1988 budget of the Dashwood and Arca Fire Department as presented. The $29,350 budget will cost Hay Township taxpayers around $11,000 because the township is committed to covering 39 percent of the fire de- partment's costs. A request from Stephen Township for Hay to contribute $500 towards the maintenance of Dashwood roads met with no resistance from coun- cil.
