Times -Advocate, July 13, 1983
Hensall taxes to rise 8.79 percent
Hensall ratepayers face an
overall tax increase of 8.79
percent according to the
budget bylaw passed at the
village council's regular July
meeting. The education levy
accounts for the major share
of the increase.
The residential mill rate for
elementary public school hupp
risen from 1982's 53.98 to (Ms
year's 61.56, up 14.04 percent
the separate school rate is up
almost as much, from 53.96 to
61.37 and the rate for seam•
dary education has risen from
203.65 mills to 221.55 for
public, and from 203;63 to
221.36 for separate school
supporters.
The residential general
municipal levy shows a 7.84
percent increase, from 75.91
to 81.96, and the county's
share is up 6.92, increasing
from last year's 25.85 mills to
this year's 27.64.
Commercial rates have in-
creased by the same
percentages.
Hensall's 1983 budget is
based on total expenditures
and transfers of $904,122.
Ed Ozimek, owner of the
Queensway nursing home. at-
tended the council meeting
with his wife Carolyn to show
the members a tentative plan
for the planned addition to the
home.
If the ministry of health ap-
proves the plans at a meeting
this Thursday, work will
begin in October. To qualify
for government grants, the
addition must be completed
by June, 1984.
The capacity. of the home
will, increase from the present
42 to. 80. The first floor will
provide extended nursing
care, and the second floor.
built to nursing home stan-
dards, will be used as a retire-
ment or rest home.
The new additien, with a
ground level entrance and air
conditioning, will contain
bedrooms with two-piece
bathrooms ensuite or shared
between no more than three
bedrooms, a large dining
room, a handicapped
bathroom; and a tub room.
The original home's first -
floor sitting area will be in-
creased and a . visitor's
powder room will be added.
Upstairs, the bedrooms will
be enlarged, with the number
of residents in that area
reduced from 21 to 12.
An elevator inside the en-
trance to the new addition will
give access to all levels, in-
cluding the large recreation
area planned for the base-
ment level.
The architect has been in-
structed to retain the homey
atmosphere in.the exterior of
the new addition. Ozimek said
he hopes,to match the brick of
the existing structure, and the
red mortar.
Ozimek is not yet sure how
• many permanent staff posi-
tions will be provided when
the addition is opened, but
knows . construction of the
building will supply a number
of temporary jobs with first
priority given to those whose
unemployment insurance
benefits have run out.
Reeve Harry Klungel said
he was very impressed with
the plans for the proposed ad-
dition. (As a former owner, he
is quite familiar with the
Queensway home.)
"We're very proud of it,"
Ozimek said, and Klungel
a reed !hat "Hensall can be
proud too."
Acting on requests from
Usborne township to have all
township households included
in the plan of operation for the
Hensall landfill site, and
Tuckersmith's request to con-
sider an operational agree-
ment for approximately 101
residents in that township to
dispose of their garbage in the
Hensall site, council passed a
motion requesting that the
two townships absorb the
costs related to an engineer's
study on all matters pertain-
ing to joint use of the landfill
site.
A bylaw was passed to
allow parking at the wester-
ly end of Mill Street.
Don Joynt, agent and Tom
Smith, representative, Frank
Cowan Company Ltd. attend-
ed the council meeting to
review the village's insurance
coverage.
The ministry of transporta-
tion and communication has
approved reconstruction of
York Street, and paving of
Oxford and Brock Streets.
The contract was awarded to
Lavis Construction.
A petition from a majority
of homeowners on King Street
west of the railway tracks
asking for grass boulevards
set off a discusson. Coun-
cillors Cecil Pepper and J im
Robinson said council should
uphold the original agree-
ment with MTC for asphalt.
"I'm prepared to go along
with the people. I was put in-
to office by the people, and if
the majority want grass, I go
for grass", Irene Davis said.
Reeve Klungel and coun-
cillor Dick Packham voted
i
with Davis that, subject to
ministry approval, the
boulevards be grass instead
of asphalt.
Council agreed to par-
ticipate in the awarding of
prizes in the most improved
property contest scheduled
(or centennial year in 1984.
Council moved that Don
Crich be asked to clean up
property owned by him which
violates the property stan-
dards bylaw regulations.
A special meeting was held
on June 28 to discuss requests
by Ira Geiger and Bob Cook to
be annexed into the village.
Acting on Geiger's premise
that he not be required to
hook into the village's
sanitary sewer system, coun-
cil was reluctant to give com-
plete immunity, but indicated
a mutual] a; reed on time
it
would be granted for the re-
quired hook-up. In the in-
terim, Geiger would still be'
required to pay the monthly
surcharge on his water bill.
Cook showed council the ad-
ditional land he wanted an-
nexed to make his existing lot
more viable commercially.
Council indicated the annex-
ed portion should be enlarged
to includeunopened road
allowance extensions to Rich-
mond Street South on the
south and Lorne Avenue on
the east.
The regular August
meeting of Hensall council
will be held on August 15 at
7:30 p.m.
