Wheeler said he now would get quotes on the materials for the shelters, and bring the estimates back to council for consideration. The harbor chairman said there had been oomp)uints, particularly from older poopb, about the lack of shade at the beach. f ff There was considerable discussion again last week by town council regarding a request from James Rovey, London developer, to have.part of the Municipal Incentive Grant turned back to him in lieu of ` ttie impost charge he will pay when he picks up the building permit for the row housing he plans to build at the corner of Bayfield Road and Bennett Street, on the former. Whaley , property. Mayor Deb Shewfelt said the development by Havey in Goderich would have to meet stringent government standards in order to qualify for the grant which amounts w $1,000, per unit. The idea behirict the incentive grantsi to encourage the develop- ment of low cost housing for citizens. The grant is paid to the town, and the town can return it to the developer if that is the agreernent. Councillor Dave Gower said Huv:y's request was "reasonable" and Councillor Bob Allen said he felt it would be improper to "create an obstacle" for Havey by refusing to grant his requeSt to turn back a portion of the Municipal Incentive Grobt ybnu\d his project qualify for it. "The Municipal Incentive Grant was planned by governrnent to hold the cost of huuoioAdown.^ said Allen. Deputy -reeve Eileen Palmer questioned the need for impost charges if the developers were reimbursed. Mayor Shewfelt stated that is is very difficult to meet government standards 'aod qualify for the grant. 'If the municipality doesn't get it back, he won't �~ �t it." the rnayor pointed out. fff Mmydr Shewfelt said dienec director would have had "more nmi\eago" had he visited the service clubs, Dymond argued not all the people in the community are represented at the service clubs, and it was these people at whom the meetings were aimed. +ff Dick Eisler said the town must find a way to curb cats from running at large. He also said barking dogs are a constant source of aggravation for citizens in "1 do issue warnings, but to lay chaand go to court is costly,'' said Eisler. He also indicated that the courts usually finding that barlsing "is the nature of the beast':. fff The town a pleasant .nurproo(' recently when the Huron County Mutual Aid Association forwarded a cheque for $517.85 to the Goderich Fire Departrnent to cover the costs of the regional fire training school held here in April "That is usually not the case, but they had some . • money and they thought the county 0000uueu.^ so they sent the money," said Fipo Chief Ralph Kingswell. +ff Even though weather conditions haven't been all that good for boaters, marina supervisor William &Yc[oaac told council last week gas sales are up so far this year. "To date we bnve.»u|d 1025 gallons of gas compared to 716 gallons last year over the same period of dooe." said K8dauuc.

That was the question posed by Councillor Dave Gower last week for Mike Dymond, recreation director. Dymond said the gras cutting at the schools wbs "just overlooked" and added it hadn't been a concern to date. Gower described the grass as "knee-high" at a recent slow pitch game. Council agreed the rec board should approach the 'oohoo\ board to make ,some arrangements for cutting the grass. fff' Mayor Deb._ Shewfelt ex- pressed some dismay at the poor turnout of the com- munity neighborhood meetings arranged by the rec board during recent weeks. Only one Woman attended and that was at' the last of four meetings. "Feedback from the community is vital and neoded, even if it is negadve.^ said Dymond.
