Home My WebLink AboutTimes Advocate, 1995-03-15, Page 3Custodian retiring ZURICH - A presentation of a watch and long distance gift certificates was made to Genie Fleischauer who has worked as custodian with the village for over 20 years She will be re- tiring effective April 1 and will be replaced by Bonnie Groot. It was noted by the Rec- reation Parks and Community Centre Board Chairman Joe Kenda will be resigning his position effective May 1, 1995. Kenda has held the po- sition for 8 years. It was dis- cussed by council who would be approached to replace Ken - da. The new member must be a resident of the municipality, living within the village boun- daries. Construction of a work shop scheduled to begin in May, ad- jacent to the fire hall and pump house, will require new walls in order to hold loads from the taller building. Cement block walls with footings will be needed. The construction is still in the planning stage and .is part of an infrastructure pro- gram. MOH resigns GODERICH - After more than seven years as Huron County's Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Maarten Bokhout is resigning ef- fective May 31. He made the announcement at a recent Board of Health meeting. Bokhout had maintained his prac- tice in Clinton which he spent about about 15 to 20 hours on while he was the MOH and plans on returning to after he resigns from the county. His biggest con- cern over the past seven years has been the battle to fight tobacco use. While there is the possibility of sharing the Perth MOH, this will probably only be on a short term basis as the Board of Health, under the Health Protection and Pro- motion Act, has to have a MOH. JNTJTLE NEWS Hay to call local tenders ZURICH - At A regular meeting of March 6, Hay township council voted to call tenders for ccrostruc- tion of the new municipal office from ratepayers of the township. On a request from deputy reeve Jim Love the vote on this motion was recorded. Love and reeve Murray Keys were opposed, but the motion carried on the strength of support from councillors Blaise Du- charme, Don Oesch and Gerald Shantz. Clerk Janisse Zimmerman was authorized to adver- tise for tenders for the issue and fee collection of dog tags. These tenders are to be submitted to the clerk by noon on March 20. Council has decided not to become involved in the joint operation of the Port Blake Conservation Area with the township of Stephen and the village of Grand Bend. The township has adopted the 1995 Ministry of Transportation for roads budget with total expendi- tures of $382,000 and road superintendent Ross Fish- er has beeen instructed to apply for a supplementary allocation from MTO in the amount of $110,000 for resurfacing of Concession 2 from Highway 84 north to the township boundary. Council and staff will be in charge of organizing the New Year's Sesquicentennial levee on January 1 of 1996. After a meeting of the South Huron Local Govern- ment Liaison Committee, council has agreed on some of the long range goals and plans which apply to their municipality. Development along Highway 21 in the recreation area will be encouraged along with promotion of home occupations and home industries in the agricul- tural areas. The township will be willing to share services with other municipalities as available and required to pro- mote economy and efficiency. Another suggestion was to construct a sewer sys- tem which would cover areas along Highway 21, in Dashwood and to existing properties just north of Ex- eter and also expand the water system to the entire township. No increase In Zurich waste site tipping fees By Heather Vincent T -A staff ZURICH - The Waste Site Board for the Village of Zurich have recommended that tipping fees remain the same for 1995. Effective April 1 the charge will be $15 per cubic yard. There will be no charge for stoves, wa- ter tanks and scrap metal items. A motion was accepted by council at Thursday's meeting to not charge for refrigerators or any units tagged freon-free. Items containing freon will be accepted, at a fee of $50. Although tipping fees are in line with Stephen and Hay Townships, the board budget re- ports a deficit of $2,000 to $3,000. The reserve money present in the budget is allocat- ed to close the site down. The deficit could be split between councils using the site. It was decided no change would be made. "We can't see any more chang- es," said Councillor Brad Clau- sius. After much discussion by council regarding the two village signs to be replaced, it was re- vealed that the signs have al- ready been designed and cut. Any changes or additions would result in an increased cost. "Who actually thought about the fair? We left the fair out for the last 125 years," said Clausius in regards to the Fair Board's re- quest to have the fair dates add- ed to the sign. Although money has not yet been approved for the project, the signs will be replaced as the existing ones are in poor condi- tion. Lucan council accepts expansion project LUCAN - Council has agreed to accept the estimated final sewer ex- pansion project cost of $6,928,209 as stated in a memo from David Lee of the Ministry dated February 7, 1995. Council will also accept addi- tional engineering fees exceeding the agreement in the amount of $35,821.69 excluding GST and that these overexpenditures will be de- ducted from the contractor's hold - hack of $51,000. Council's approval for payment is subject to the Onta- rio Clean Water Agency's verifica- tion and recommendation. Works superintendent Doug John- ston reported that during the infil- tration camera work, Liqui-Force found concrete blocked about 40 percent of a 30 foot section of main. This would cost $6,800 plus $1,700 for cleaning of the pumping station. Council asked for an exact dollar figure prior to giving approval. On the Elm street park situation, Johnston said slats have been placed on the bridge, but the sides are yet to be installed.
