He praised retiring councillor Bryan Smith for his positive atti- tude in dealing with ratepayers. McLaughlin added, "Bryan had an easy manner in talking to people. and they liked that. He never missed a meeting in 16 years and. contributed a lot. He will be missed." The reeve pointed out a few of the accomplishments of council over the past years. He said, "Our development charge beginning at $7,300 and now at $7,600 is the envy of all of Middlesex county. This money is now available when we need fur- ther expansion of our water and sewer systems. I don't think this council buckled in to any levelop- er." On the financial side McLaughlin said, "We have been very prudent financially and haven't had a tax in- crease for local purposes for three years. Our recently approved two - zone mapping plan will allow for more development. "Our big win was by going to Bluewater for recycling. We are seeing a great reduction in refuse going to the landfill site. We have started proposals for a new library, village promotion and amalgama- tion." The reeve concluded, "There have been 52 new housing units started in the last 18 months and I expect that trend to continue." In his response, Smith said, "I'd like to thank everyone involved , • fila St. Exdti'`,.s STEPHEN TOWNSHIP 0 THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT We who were elected and acclaimed to Stephen Township Council wish to thank all ratepayers who voted in the recent election and signed nomination papers.
