Times-Advocate, 1984-04-11, Page 20Page 8A Times -Advocate, AprlI 11, 1981 No more warnings Parkingmotion' rescinded The first motion to be pass- ed when Hensall council met for its regular April meeting was a resolution by Richard Packham rescinding the mo- tion • approved the previous month stipulating that park- ing by-law violators be given a warning for the initial of- fence. Packham, author of the March motion, had since discovered it conflicted with the existing parking bylaw. He apologized to enforcement officer Herman Van ,Wieran for any adverse effects of the mix-up. Five tenders for maintenance of the village's landfill site once a week for a 12 -month period were opened while Steve Burns of Burns Ross Associates was present. As the two lower bids were almost half the other three, the $8,900 lowest tender of Clarence Carter and Sons, Lucan, was accepted subject to verification of references by Burns. The Carter firm has done work at the Lewis landfill site near Lucan, and Burns told council he had talked to Carter who was ful- ly aware of what the job required. Only one tender, for $2,800 from Julie Knip's Cleaning and Maintenance, was receiv- ed for maintenance of the landscaped section of the BIA area. Though council agreed the firm had done an ex- cellent job last year, they decided not to accept the 1984 tender as it represented an almost 100 percent increase in cost. Instead, other alter- natives will be examined. Lorne Archer appeared before council to complain about water entering his basement through the drain every time it rains. This has happened since the installa- tion of sewers last year. He was promised a thorough discussion hopefully leading to a solution of his problem, when the streets and drains committee meets later this month. Huron county tree inspector Joe Gibson will be invited to come to• Hensall to examine all trees on public property and tell council which ones are dangerous and should be removed. The public will be notified of the date of the visit, so anyone wanting a diagnosis of a tree on private property can meet with Gibson. A by-law was passed establishing an interest rate of 11/4 percent per month on taxes due and unpaid after December 31, 1983. The mill rate for 1984 taxes will be set within the next two months. It will be based on a 6.84 increase in the 1984 levy for elementary school pur- poses, a 5.23 percent increase in the secondary school levy, a 6.19 increase for separate school support and a 17.91 in- crease in the county levy due to decreased apportionment, increased requirements, and change in the guaranteed grant. The total taxable municipal assessment for 1984 of $2,032,293 represents a change of less than one percent from last year's figureof $2,013,835. Building inspector Herman Van Wieran reported he had notified the. owners of the former hardware store of the deteriorating condition of the facade of the building, and given them two weeks to com- ply. Works superintendent Don Towton's resignation was ac- cepted with regret. A $3,000 Wintario granthas been received and transfer- red to the Centennial fund.
