The club is once again looking after the Easter Seals 'No' to Reeve Isidore LaPorte commented on the full house at Zurich council's regular March meeting on Tuesday night: Ray McKinnon was filling the formerly vacant council seat, and clerk - treasurer Sharon Baker was back after time off for surgery and convalescence. Some budget matters were discussed as a prelude to a special. meeting on March 20 to set the 1984'hudgets for the various departments. The Zurich and area fire board budget for this year will be approximately $15,880. down slightly from the previous year's $16,173 because of a carry-over surplus of $1,300. The cost to ratepayers for recreation in 1983 was $19,000, less than the budgeted $27,700 - Council will decide whether or not to put this surplus .in a special reserve fund, as the board faces large expen- ditures for major repairs this year. The ice plant com- pressor motor that blew up has been replaced, but a new condensor costing around $10,000 should be installed this fall. Arena Manager Jerry Rader told council he would like to see revenue from special events such as the bingoes scheduled to begin soon put into a special fund to be used for capital expenditures. No one applied for thr vacancy and the Industrial and Retail Development com- mittee, to serve with Reeve LaPorte. councillor Mike O'Connor and business representative Bob Vair. Councillor Bob Fisher's sug- gestionthat someone from the Chamber of Commerce be asked was accepted. McKin- non will replace LaPorte on the Zurich fire board. All other standing committees will remain as before. In response to a question - crossing guar naire sent out with 300 tax notices about the need for a crossing guard, the clerk received 27 nos and 27 yeses. A previous questionnaire sent home with village school children moved that the mat- ter be shelved at present due to obvious lack of interest. A letter from Elda Wagner complaining about sidewalks not being cleared sparked a discussion on snow removal. Fisher said the expectation that the village be responsible for clearing all sidewalks was unrealistic, and the cost would be astronomical. He said possibly next year one side of each of the two main arteries could tie kept cleared. LaPorte added the safest way would be to pass a by-law making property owners responsible for keep- ing the sidewalk in front of their property shovelled. No action was taken on a complaint from some residents of Spruce Villa that trees on adjacent property were too close to their building, as council has no jurisdiction over such mat- ters on private property. Fisher reported that a Septemberfest is. being con- sidered as Zurich's bicenten- nial project, with much of the funding to come from the province. The village of Zurich has received word from their solicitors, Donnelly and Mur- phy, that the trial in the action brought by Ron Heimrich on behalf of Dave's Decor has been adjourned. No new date has yet been set. After hearing from an of- ficial of the ministry- of transport and communica- tions that Zurich's size does not warrant larger highway signs, Mike O'Connor joked that the village should con- sider annexing the Bluewater Rest Home and the Maple Woods Appartments.
