Fur- ther discussion led to a deci- sion to call a publifc meeting, tentatively set for April 2, and let the Huron County planning department share their ex- pertise. As the ootfftty has site control, county experts could answer a lot of questions about such matters as the best way to develop the land north and south of the village. Charles Hay also appeared before council to give per- sonal impact to a letter he had written council concerning a parking ticket he had receiv- ed at the arena. Hay conceded he broke the law by parking in the fire lane for approximately three minutes while obtaining a rental agreement for LCBO requirements in preparing for the Centennial dance, but "if it is Council's goal to kill all initiative and desire to see our community survive as well as drive all our residents, pro- spective shoppers and visitors out of town, [ suggest you hire a full-time police force, preferably non -taxpayers, to enforce the law to the letter at all times and not at the con- venience of an over -zealous outsider working part time," his letter stated. Hay said in fairness the parking by-law should be en- forced 24 hours a day, not just when the by-law enforcement officer happens to be driving by. "If. you're going to penalize one, penalize all", he added. A report submitted by Her- man Van Wieren showed 13 tickets issued between February 6 and February 211. • Council passed a resolution that from now on those park- ed in a no -parking spot will receive a warning for the first offense, and a ticket if they are caught a second time. Property committee Irene Davis and Cecil Pepper reported an inspection of the tdvM hall 'had shown all upstairs windows needed -at- tention, as did the front door and some bad brick on the outside east wall. They received authority to obtain estimates for essential repairs.Council also passed a resolution advising the employment and develop- ment branch that approved funding of 832,360 toward town hall renovations will not be utilized as the project has been cancelled. Council passed three by- laws. One makes official the agreement with MTC for maintenance and construc- tion of the part of Highway 84 designated as a connecting link. A second authorizes an agreement with the townships of Usborne and Tuckersmith for joint use of the Hensall waste disposal site. A third set firemen's remuneration. The Chief will receive $38 per month plus $25 expenses. the deputy 831.50 monthly, and each captain 821. Fire engine mechanics will get $16.50 per month plus $3 weekly for mechanic duties performed on each truck, the fire department secretary will receive a monthly re- tainer of $16.50 plus 83 per week for secretarial duties and each fireman will receive a retainer of $14 per Month. Every officer will be paid 88.50 per hour for time spent fighting a fire, on standby, or for hose time. As the zoning by-law on the Bob Caldwell property annex- ed north of the old boundary meets county approval and Council wishes to proceed, The Huron County planning department will be notified to schedule a meeting to allow the public to air their views.
