Reeve Grant Stirling, Deputy Reeve Laurie Cox and Councillors John Rodges, Case Brand and Carol Wammes took the declarations and the oaths of allegiance and made short speeches to open the meeting. In other business, council supported a resolution from the Huron County Separate School Board regarding the tremendous in- creases in insurance given to school boards. ip Council �wc� In the resolution, directed at the Attorney General of Ontario, the school board ad- vocates certain legislation be altered in order to '1w' the excessive law suits and court—awards which have been reflected back to the school boards in higher costs for insurance coverage for buildings, equip- ment and for employees and volunteers at the schools. The resolution went on to say that the school board had an increase of 98 per cent in the recent renewal of their premium for all areas of liability insurance. Betty Youngblut and Stephen Youngblut were present at the meeting to discuss a water problem at their homes. Lawrence Crich read a lengthy letter outlining in detail his progress in erecting a road in front of these cottages. With no obvious solution, council passed a motion to set up a meeting with the Youngblut's, Mr. Crich, Joe Potter and Reeve Stirling. Council also passed a motion to have CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, into office Clerk Robin Thompson and the road superintendent make an application for an interim subsidy on the road expen$es. Frank Graham submitted an application for re -zoning his lot in the VLA due to insuf- ficient distances in lot lines. Council ac- cepted the application and referred the mat- ter to the Huron County Planning Depart- ment for preparation and circulation. Tax write-offs totalling $1,051.45 were authorized on a motion by council. ortdville ratepayers discuss ONIP grant By Wilma Oke TUCKERSMITH-About 35 ratepayers of the hamlet of Egmondville accepted an open invitation from the Tuckersmith Township Council to discuss the $150,000 Ontario Neighbourhood Improvement Program (ONIP) grant which the township received . cently from the provincial government. The township must put up a similar amount of $150,000 for a grand total of $300,000 to be spent in Egmondville. Of this, a minimum of 20 per cent must be spent on soft services, such as recreation, including parks; and the balance on hard services such as the water system, stone sewers, roads, street lights or sidewalks, depending on priorities. Reeve Robert Bell presided for the meeting held in the basement of Egmond- ville United Church December 5. Present were Deputy Reeve Robert Broadfoot; Councillors Rowena Wallace and Bill Car- nochan and Engineer Richard Anderson of B.M. Ross and Associates of Goderich, and Clerk -Treasurer Jack McLachlan. The top priority is to supply water to the residents on the south side of the Bayfield River. It was agreed six inch lines would be needed and the cost would be about $70,000. However, Mr. McLachlan reported the township has applied to the Ministry of the Environment for a grant for this project which would pay 75 per cent of the cost with the township paying the remainder. Ap- proval of this grant is pending and not ex- pected before the first of the year. If this is received, then the ONIP grant money would go for other needs in the water system. From. the engineer's study, and there were no objectors to any of his proposals, the second priority would be to put a six inch water main down Centre Street, and down part of William Street where there is already a one inch water main which it would replace at an estimated cost of $51,000. The third priority would be to complete Water Street with a four inch main and upgrading Bayfield Street with a six inch main, putting a six inch main on London Road between Bayfield and Front Street, do a bit of work on East Front Street to com- plete the loop to the Doig subdivision, another bit to Victoria Street to complete the loop to the Doig subdivision water main system and a piece on Third Street and North Street to provide a better, system there. The estimated cost to complete these bits of the water system is $90,000. Planning for the future, the engineer said the six inch mains are needed and when it is decided to provide fire protection for the hamlet, it will not be necessary to dig up the streets. A storage tank would be necessary for fire protection. In the meantitne, Tom Phillips said fire protection is provided by Seaforth. Mr. McLachlan said the council will con- sider the priorities as set out and an agree- ment must be reached before the end of April or Tuckersmith will lose the $150,000 grant. Reeve Bell assured the ratepayers, "We'll come back with our priorities for your approval." Mr. Bell said the capacity for water in Egmondville is there but the pumps are not adequate and need upgrading. Debbie Rau pointed out that Egmond- ville's only park is the small playground across from the Van Egmond house and it is being utilized, but it could stand some more play equipment, and•a light. Tuckersmith's other park in the area is the Lions park which is located near Egmondville and is us- ed by all area children. Mr. McLachlan said the Lions Club has been asked to submit some suggestions as to what is needed in this park. New Stanley Township reeve outlines policies STANLEY TWP. - Clarence Rau, the new reeve of Stanley Township, outlined some of the concerns and policies he believes should be addressed ih the next three years during a short speech after being sworn in at the in- • augural session of Stanley Council. He is looking forward to the township ses- - council next year, and plans to lead council in working in close co-operation with the sesquicentennial committee to make Stanley a place for residents, neighbors and former residents to "Meet and Mix in '86". Already half a dozen signs bearing Evelyn McKinley's winning slogan and John Beer's prize logo have been put up at strategic loca- tions throughout the township. Reeve Rau would like to see township roads that are "second to none". Three culverts, at lots six and 24 on Concessions Four and Five, and between Lots 15 and 16 on Concession 11, should be replaced at a cost of approximately $50,000 each. He would like to do one a year. The reeve would also like to initiate a tar and chip program for township roads before his term expires. He also wants tatender to fill the 2,000 -gallon diesel and 1,000 -gallon regular gas storage capacity at the, works department in the stanley Complex.
