- The decision • was made after council went allow the Conklin 'subdivision to hook into
•behind closed doors to discuss the possible sale sewers and water lineS it would look at taking
of water, sewage and storrn sewer services to over the entire area south of town and servicing
the township of •Goderich. The sale of those
services was designed to allow 'a 96 lot sub-
4n4ieated Cqats to service' the 1-and-weuld-range--
n the,$11 Million bracket.
o HOpefial the committee could eotne up with
Possible ways beth the town ad township could
split costs for services and bring the land intO
develepment-both councils endorsed the move.
But little over a year after the joint corn-
Mittee began investigating the matter the
.Conklin subdivision was proposed and the
• corimtttee's attention' focused on a 33.5 acre
parcel. of land immediatle-y south . of the
Veteran's Land Act subdiviiion.
That's what ultimately lead to Monday
night's move by council. ,
The town representatives indicated they
were not interested in spending massive sums
of money .to serVice a very small portion of
land. 'To properly bring the Conklin subdivision
Goderich town council learned Monday night
' it and four ,,other municipalities sharing the
, Holmesville landfill site owned by George
Lavis faced a pay me now or pay me later
, situation.
In a report to council town representatives on
the . landfill committee told councillors
negotiations with the owner of the Holmesville
- -site were very , close to completion. "Deputy -
reeve Bob Allen told council the increase Lavis
asked for had been agreed on but the manner in
• which it is arrived at was up_te council.
Allen explained that the committee had
settled on an increase of $173,000 and all that
was left was to dedide how that increase was to
be paid. He said council had two options both of
which would result in the same figure being
paid Levi's.
Clerk- Larry McCabe advised council- that it
•was obvious from :negotiations with Lavis that
• the landfiltaite owner had set the new rates for
the service and was determined to get it. He
-•• 'said Lavis offered municipalities a chance to
stage the increase over four years or go
through the motions of negotiating annually to
arrive at the same figure.
Reeve Eileen Palmer commended the
committee for "haggling as well as it did". She
said council must consider that. the figure the
committee arrived at for 1983 is the one that
Lavis originally wanted now: °
Councillor John Doherty agreed the com-
mittee "did a good job" but added it could have
done "a hell of a lot more haggling" before
settling on the increase Lavis sought. Doherty
said his criticism was not aimed at -the com-
mittee so much as it was at the landfill site
owner.
McCabe told council the agreement is not in
place becaose other municipalities sharing the
dump had to decide if the percentage increases
to their budgets were acceptable.
He noted that under the new agreefnent cost
sharing changes which in some cases adds up to
a municipality paying a greater portion of the
cost of the site than it did in the past. He noted
that ape troposal has Goderich's share drop-
ping from 48 percewnt to 44 and Clinton's from
26 percent to 18. -He said those cuts are covered
by increases to other municipalities.
The landfill site is shared by the towns of
Goderich and Clinton, theo village of Lucknow,
the townships of Goderich and ,Colborne and

A joiht citimmittee, made up of represeo-
tatives from both th.e town .and township, began
looking at possible price sharing of 1,145 acres
of township land south of Goderich. That
committee was formed in 1978 after a lengthy

representatives wanted to make a presentation
to council. •
Lynds said he would "have liked to make,a
presentation before council voted" claiming to
speak on the subject now was a little "after the
fact". •.
He pointed out that much of what council had,,
heard in its report from the joint committee
was "not true". He said if council had extended
Conklin .the courtesy of speaking to the report
much of the confusion could have been cleared
Lynds said the report had been `twisted" to
the point that many assumptions it contained
• 'were simply "false". He said the preposalS the
report ;claims .were Made by Conklin were
made in the spirit on• negotiations. He ,said
Conklin had never made a final position to the
committee and had never ben. told
O negotiations were being considered final.
• The Conklin spokesman said what upset him
the most was that council ,refused to allow the
developers to speak on the matter. He said it

was one thing to have a proposal turned down
by council but it was aril:id-let-not to be. able to
make a proposal at all:
• Council did -not feel it had slighted Conklin ,
clairning the developer had every opportunity
to state its case to the joint committee. Coun-
cillors felt that since the subdivision Conklin
proposed .was in the township Goderich town
council wasnot required to deal first hand with
the firm. • , •
Lyhds.argued that this proposal was unique.
in that services needed by the subdivider:Were
being' provided by the town. He added that
Conklin was a "corporate taxpayer" in
Goderich and should have the "right" to speak
. to council on matters affecting it.

not know where that left the subdivision
