HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1979-12-05, Page 33 (2)Fire pact meeting put off again Plans to discuss the fire pact with Bosanquet and Stephen councils had to be cancelled Monday night when Grand Bend council decided to hold an early meeting and then attend a zoning hearing in Crediton. Council met at 6:00 p.m. in a very brief meeting. A letter was received from Stephen Township saying that their representative had not received any word con - cerning a meeting of the fire committee. Stephen said that they had received no report on the fire depart- ment for 1979, nor any ac- counts. Reeve Bob Sharen suggested that both Stephen and Bosanquet councils be invited to the first meeting in January to resolve the long dispute. Councillor Harold Green objected to that idea, saying that more time than Gifts From Quebec Hand Crafted • Pottery • Dolls and • Wood Items HARWOOD DRUGS Ltd. W.

"This is a 10 year thing, let's discuss it all the way out. It won't be settled in an hour," Green told the reeve. Sharen agreed to look into setting up a meeting. Council received notice that Michael Owen of the Village Inn would be presenting his case to obtain a liquor licence In Windsor on December 12. Council discussed whether or not any action should be taken because Owen has not paid a fine he was charged for not requesting a sign permit. A letter of complaint concerning sewer in- stallation and paving was received from Van Laughton. Laughton said that the area to be paved was pointed out by Green and Sharen "without benefit of a survey", and that his sewer connection was in an im- proper location, and it would cost $800 to correct it. Green said that workers were told to pave the area that had previously been tarred and chipped. "There was no complaint about the tar and chip, why should there be any complaint about the pavement?" Green asked. Council decided that they didn't agree with statements made in Laughton's letter. Robert Chapdelaine at- tended the meeting and g d n 4 g 9 g made a request on behalf of the local legion. Council voted to give the legion 1339.32 to cover their general rate, garbage collection and fire protection. A letter was received from Tom Lawson on behalf of the Grand Bend Cruising Club saying that they would be willing to help with the establishment of a harbour commission to look after the docking and river area of Grand Bend. Council agreed with the suggestions made by Lawson, and decided to contact Russ Lingard to ask if the Yacht Club would also be interested. Reeve Sharen pointed out that a harbour commission would help the village get provincial and federal help for im- provements. Councillor Keith Crawford reported that Southcott Pines is making a toboggan run near the skating rink on the old river bed. Council agreed that village equip- ment could be used, and that they would truck in sand if it was needed. The Gospel Hall was granted a sign permit, and it was decided that the fee would be waived. Council received a series of letters from other municipal governments seeking endorsement. A letter come from Barrie asking that they support their motion opposing vuw145Wnoc,La431461:P45417•34yfitwettirc+a"-: "t•na! r !n Ladies CARDIGAN - cable knit yoke - raglan sleeve - Wool blend - machine washable SM, t 5 attractive colors Reg.

Councillor Harold Green and deputy reeve Judy Uniac along with the reeve, decided to endorse Barrie's proposal. Keith Crawford said that he would not make a decision because he hasn't read Levesque's paper. Council voted to endorse a proposal from the city of Windsor concerning new equilization factors and the resource equilization grant. Council decided to hold on to a letter from North York concerning hydro rates until they meet with the PUC in January. Water rates will also be discussed at that meeting. Reeve Bob Sharen said that he would like to send out his own letter seeking en- dorsement. Sharen wanted to pass a resolution opposing Bell Canada's proposed scheme of charging users for every telephone call they make, rather than paying a flat rate.

'Bend has OMB hearing No decision on education tax Grand Bend will have to wait at least another week before they learn the results of an Ontario Municipal Board hearing last week. The village council was appealing their education apportionment levy in a bid for reduced taxation. OMB member Hugh Kelly came from Toronto to hear the village's argument. He decided to withhold his decision for two weeks, to give the matter further consideration. Reeve Bob Sharen said that the education levy should be scaled the same as the county assessment. He pointed out that Watford has a county assessment of $52,920 and Wyoming's is $68,701 while Grand Bend's is only $49,521. But Grand Bend hasbeen billedan educational levy of 1201,121 while Wat- ford paid 1167,566 and Wyoming paid $186,030. Sharen estimated that the village should pay $3900 less if the Lambton County board of education took resource equilization factors into consideration. At Monday night's council meeting Sharen said that he had tried to point out to the OMB at the hearing that many tax payers in Grand Bend cannot afford the education levy. He used the 1971 census statistics as an example, when the provincial average household wage per year was $10,000 but the average wage in Grand Bend at that time was $8,999. Sharen said that he was shocked to learn that the OMB does not consider an Sharen said that he hopes inequity an undue burden. the OMB will reduce their Sharen read a list of taxes education levy. but he added paid by various households that even if the levy is in the village, but pointed out reduced for 1979, they may many inequities. have to fight it again in 1980.
