Schilbe sells seafood out of his residence as a home occupation and a sign for retail sales is not al- lowed in a residential area. Council feels the sign was illegal before their new sign bylaw was passed on August 13. Home occupancy signs are allowed on a door, but not out front. Councillor Tom Semple com- mented, " It doesn't matter that he wanted to put up the sign before our new law was passed" and Barb Jeffrey added, " I didn't approve of the sign in the first place." At the suggestion of reeve Bob Fisher, Schilbe who cancelled an appointment with council Monday night will be invited to the next meeting in October. Fisher added, " If he doesn't show up next time, action will be taken to have the sign removed." More arena help The recreation, parks and com- munity centre board will be meet- ing Thursday night to consider ap- plications for a permanent part-time arena assistant. At a September 4 meeting, arena manager Jim Ramer voiced con- cerns over the number of hours he was working. Award tender At a special meeting August 13, council awarded the tender for the Haberer municipal drain to Brohn Developments of Ailsa Craig for $11,659.91, the lowest of five bids received. New lights Zurich Hydro is being instructed by council to install new street lights on East street The present lighting was determined to be very poor by council and a recommenda- tion was made for upgrading. In other business , council: Proclaimed October 16 as World Food day and September 30 to Oc- tober 5 as Local Government Week. Was advised by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs that the draft plan of subdivision for the Hater- leigh development has been extend- ed to August 3, 1992. Voted in favour of a suggestion from Huron county adminstrator Nigel Bellchamber that would al- low individuals in the employ of other municipalities to act on be- half of the county for by-law en- forcement. Bellchamber said the cost would be tremendous if the county were to auempt to enforce no parking re- strictions on cerain areas of county roads. However, if employees of lo- cal municipalities were empowered to do so, the effectiveness of county road parking by-laws would be much enhanced. r-1111111{`";,ate ,c ( + "i ;hate urs 11"1 3'111+1.11![4+: i ; chit liL+t.. • •'E IHifi!
