By Stephanie Levesque The 27 municipalities within the Upper Thames Conservation Authority watershed face a 6.7 per cent increase in the forecasted 1983seneral levy. The municipalities will share the cost of the 1983 general levy forecasted at $472,000 up from $442,400 contributed last year for the administration and con- servation services budget. This doesn't include special levies paid by municipalities benefiting from .special pro- ' jects. The Authority's total 1983 budget of over $2 million was approved at its annual meeting in St. Marys on Feb. 25, despite attempts by City of London representatives to have the budget amended. There are three main • points the city wants to ex- clude from the budget. Ald. Frank Flitton, a long-time member of the Authority, said the first point is UTRCA diffuse source control pro -- gram budgeted at $112,500. Municipalities will share about $54,675 of the program which one London represen- tative, referred to, as a "manure control program". "It'a a rural problem. The city didn't create it (manure runoff into waterways) and I don't think the city should be assessed," said Ald. Flitton. The city's other two con- cerns revolve around land at the Glengowan area in Blan- shard Township. Ald. Flitton said the rent monies being received by the Authority should be returned to the municipalities (which shared the original land ac- quisition cpsts) instead of be - Authority to apply for funds By Stephanie Levesque' The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority will be applying for special employment funding for the proposed addition to its administrative headquarters in Wroxeter. Approval , for the ap- plication was given at the Authority's annual meeting on Feb. 23, but no final decision regarding the ad- ditionwill be made until a late spring meeting ofthe a full authority. MVCA general -manager Bryan Howard outlined the construction proposal which will be submitted for funding under one of the federal provincial special em- ployment programs. The total construction project has been estimated at $287,000. Broken down this figure represents an estimated labor cost of $135,000 for 10 for about seven months, an estimated cost for materials at $140,000 and an estimated $12,000 for a construction co-ordinator. Depending on negotiations - under the special em- ployment programs, the Authority's share could range from about $41,000 to $55,000. Mi. Howard noted that it is proposed that the MVCA's share of the costs be raised over a two or three year period. Originally, MVCA had requested $284,700 from the provincial government under the Authority's regular program, but this was turned down. That figure represents a portion of the, total project cost of $365,000 which includes $275,000 for construction, $22,000 for architect's fees and ,000 for equipment, furnishings and ground improvements. rk ing turned over to the . general administration budget. The city alderman added that if it Is the intent of the Authority to not go ahead with the proposed Glengowan dam and the land there is sold, the sale money should also be returned to the municipalities. "The course now is to ap-' peal to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB)," stated Ald. Flitton. He said the city's board of control and city alderman will meet to discuss future action to be taken. "It is very likely the city will appeal the 1983 budget," said the alderman. London's five represen- tatives were the only ones voting in favor of any amendments and opposed to the approval of the 1983 budget. . . .

He noted that water problems in ruraU areas are different than those in the city. "I hopeyou people want tto eat," said Mr. Stephenand added, "and en- joy the privilege of good water." , The capital :projects for .1983 total $753,156 with the largest project being the Thames valley floodplain land acquisition. Budgeted at $272,727, the Ministry of Natural Resources will fund $150,000 of this project with the City of London picking up the remaining tab as it is the benefiting mut Other capital projects in- clude the diffuse source control program mentioned B CHILDREN'S BOOKS. previously and the Glengowan environmental sandy which all municipalities will share in - 25 per cent of the budget figure of $62,600. Floodplain mapping will be done in both St. Marys and Stratford with those two municipalities each paying 10 per cent of the cost for their individual mapping.
