Action has not been taken by council on this matter because paving of the street would be too costly as no Minstry of Transportation and Communication (MTC) subsidy is available. However, at the April 6 meeting, a compromise was reached. Instead of spraying oil to keep the dust down, which had been done in the past, and short of putting in a finished paved road, the residents and council agreed on' a maintenance coat. "It's a bad situation," admitted Mayor John Balfour. There's no MTC subsidy and usually when the last home goes in, the pav- ing goes down and there's only one lot left...but there's no way the municipality can afford to put $100,000 into paving Mohawk and Raglan. But I think we (coun- cil) have come up with a solution. "On Erie and Dunlop Streets, where there are no curbs or gutter, we put down a maintenance coat...you'd swear it was asphalt." The only difference between the regular asphalt road and the maintenance coat is the life span. The maintenance coat will last, between five and eight years while the regular asphalt road will stand up for 30 or 40 years. "If you want an asphalt road you'll be looking at 1989 or 1990. This way we can start in late June," said Mayor Balfour. The delegation from Mohawk and Raglan Streets thought the solution was workable, • adding, "It's better than oil." Town expenditures run over $1.7 million • from page 1 Goderich Township's fee to the fire area board increased by $1,083 to bring their bill to $14,456. Hullett Township paid $7,599, an additional $569 over 1985. Stanley Township paid $1,970 compared to 1985's price of $1,822 and Tuckersmith Township paid $5,388, up $403. Public Utilities Commission Electric: The electric division of the Clinton Public Utilities Commission i PUC i had a surplus of $34,568, an increase of $11,982 from 1985. The 1986 revenue was $1,334,348 and the expenditures were $1,299,780. Water Works: The surplus in the water works division dropped this year by $1,900, leaving them $22,589 in the black. Sewage: The most significant figures in.the PUC portion of the auditor's report are in the sewage division. In 1985 this section had a surplus of $17,407, but in 1986 it shows a deficit of $8,401 - a loss of $9,006. Clerk Jefferson attributes this loss to the increased amount of work done 9n the sewage disposal plant. Figures in thils area show the plant cost $73,000 in 1985 and $95,000 in 1986. General Town Account Taking a closer look at the general town account shows the town received less fun- ding by way of grants, mainly because the final town hall restoration grants were received in 1985. The Ontario specific grants column. which includes the Ministry of Transporta- tion and Communications grants and the Ontario Neighborhood Improvement Pro- gram, contained the amount of $585,689. The 1985 column had a figure of $556,167. Collecting tax arrears. issuing licences and permits brought the town an additional $8,000 in 1986. On the expenditure side, general govern- ment expenses were.up $95,630, bringing the figure to $335,186. Approximately $98,669 was used to pay the interest and principle on the town hall debenture while an extra $32,420 was spent on administration wages. t Part of this figure went directly to the former clerk - treasurer, Cam Proctor). Attending extra meetings put council over budget by $11,790. Clerk .lefferson explained this by saying. "They did two years work in one." Conservation levies. fire protection and bylaw enforcement put the Protection to Persons and Property up by $5,900. Overall, transportation costs were lower as street construction was down in 1986. However, streetlighting was up by $30,000 in 1986 as new streetlights were installed in town. The sanitary sewer debentures were down in 1986 which helped lower the environmen- tal services I sanitation and garbage collec- tion) by $6,000. Grants for recreational and cultural ser- vices t LACAC and parks) were up $2,000 over 1985. Work on the industrial park put planning and development expenditures up, by $16,000. Clinton Council is presently working on the 1987 budget and hope to have it com- pleted shortly.
