"Probably we as a village are more aware of the problems than the MTC," Reeve Wasson said. "If we're going to get any in- put at all, we should get it in early." To allow people to voice their concerns Councillor Manning suggested inviting an MTC representative to come and talk to the village. ' Fire Area Board Councillor Cronin passed on the word from the Fire Area Board that they would like to see council pass a bylaw to name the fire chief or a designate as an assistant to the building inspector, "In some instances, fire chiefs have been charged with trespassing when they in- spected a building for fire damage," Coun- cillor Manning noted. Council will be looking further into the matter at their January meeting. Correspondence A letter was received stating that Bill 16 had received a second reading. The bill states that notices of meetings and agendas are to be published not less than three days before a meeting. Many of the councillors were upset with this notice as they feel the agenda will stop them from covering last minute subjects that arise. "A lot of things 'come up pretty quickly, and we won't be able to deal with them," Councillor Howson noted. "I don't agree with this at all. It's getting worse and worse and worse every year." However, Councillor Manning pointed out that there is nothing council can do about the bill. "The bottom line is, you don't comp- ly, you don't get grants," he said. Council also received a resolution from the City of St. Catherines requesting a com- plete review of the Municipal Conflict of In- terest act. "This is a bit of a can of worms I gather," Reeve Wasson said of the act. "It's hard to interpret some of it as it is at present," Councillor Manning added. "I now feel any meetings I attended were kind of a sham. We're not supposed to stay in the same room as the issue is being dealt with, our physical presence in the room can effect decisions." Councillor Cronin, pointed out that this procedure is car'r'ied out at Huron County Council as he has to leave the room when a discussion on his place of work arises. "When a discussion comes up on tenders or anything like that, I have to leave the room," he said. • co BURKE ELECTRIC Ltd.
