Several projects are ahead for village By Helen Owen BAYFIELD - There was a good turn out for the meeting of the, Bayfield rate -payers which was held in the community centre on June 7. Further evidence of the support the association receives was revealed in that the membership has now reached 539. Presi- dent Harold Seaman welcomed those pre- sent, and introduced past president Brig. Fred Clift and secretary Peg Willock. He .stedo the other members of the executive as hn Elliott, Charles Rogers, Howard Scot- chmer, treasurer Ernie Hovey and membership Pat Muratori and Sally Leitch. Mr. Hovey said that the books had been audited as of December 31, showing a balance in the savings account of $756.30 (to which interest would accrue.) The current„ account stood at $707.87 and an investment certificate had been acquired for $4,000 at nine percent which would earn $360 in in- terest by October 4, 1986. Thanks were expressed to Harry Mitchell who had voluntarily undertaken to place street signs on the original posts. Reeve David Johnston then addressed the meeting. He began by explaining that the funding had now come together for the work on the Long Hill Road. So far commitments had come from the Ausable Bayfield Con- servation Authority and ,the Ministry of Natural Resources and an application was being made to the Ministry of Municipal Af- fairs. Other funding it was anticipated would be available through the Ministry of Transport and Communication but this would require matching funds. However, the reeve said, at the present time the work- ing drawings were in course of preparation and tenders for the work would be sought in the near future. It had been a long drawn out process, but thanks to the Council, members of the community and Jack Riddell, MPP the problems were now being resolved. Referring to the secondary plan for the village, the reeve explained that this was currently being researched, a draft copy was being prepared which would be offered to the public for review and input at the end of August. A by-law covering the amend- ments to the home occupations had been passed. Because of the scanty beach left south of the pier, improvements had been made in this area in order to make it pleasant for the public including a turn around for cars. Reports from the Ministry of Natural Resources indicated a rise in the water level of some six - seven inches this year, a situa- tion likely to continue' for the next three or four years. With the Long Hill Road project now wrapped up, the reeve said that }}'t was the intention of council to begin work do some of the drainage problems, the first stage being the drainage outlets at the lake. He also dealt with the problem regarding dogs running loose, and said the village now had a dog catcher who would pick up dogs on the receipt of a complaint from the village office. An attempt would be made to contact the owner before the animal was transported to the pound, and charges in- volved would be the responsibility of the owner. The baseball diamond project, the reeve said, was now nearing completion, and he stressed the fact that the monies for this had not been derived from municipal taxes. This was erroneous as the funding had been rais- ed by the recreation committee, the ball teams and through provincial grants. ' Other work in hand for this year including re -painting of the library and archives room and repairs to the roof of the municipal building. Six contractors had been asked to tender for the latter but only two had done so, and council had accepted the lesser of the two bearing in mind that there had been a difference of some $8,000. Moving on to the budget for 1986, the reeve detailed the figures with particular reference to the reserves council had seen fit to set aside for ongoing and long term programs. Full details he said, were freely available in the clerk's office for anyone wishing to peruse them. There was an in- crease of about 8.6 percent on last year's tax bill and although attempts had been made to appeal the assessment, they had not proved successful. At the conclusion of his report, the reeve answered questions from the floor relative to anticipated future increases in taxes, the publishing of financial reports, licensing of businesses, methods of drainage and the likelihood of sewage being forced upon the village. rs . attend anniversary service 11110 � don McBurney.
