Call bar it 524-2057 Town Council in Brief BY SHIRLEY J.KELLER Maitland Valley Marina Ltd. will get a jump on the season , and has special permission from council to begin - work on their project before the proper agreement iS signed with the town. Commissioner of works Ken Hunter explained the agreement is complete except for some legal definitions. He said it will be about two weeks before it wll get to the council table, and the marina developers would like to get started with the dredging in the channel. "They are anxious to get finished in time for the season,". Hunter said. + ++ Councillor's Stan Profit and Jim Searls were -Opposed to inviting non-voting liason members from Goderich Township and Colborne Township to sit on the town's fire committee. But the proposal by Reeve Eileen Palmer was approved by council. Palmer said the . con- tribution of these representatives from the townships would be helpful until the Fire Area Board becomes a reality. Profit said it is a municipal committee and -• should rem airr- that-way-despite-the--fact--that Goderich Township and Colborne Township are - now paying Member fees for fire protection. + ++ Once again Goderich Town Council is hoping the Huron County Board of Education can be persuaded to explain their annual budget to the taxpayers. A motion was passed at Monday evening's council meeting that the town would "en- courage" the board to "forrnulate a system of public meetings in the municipalities, to explain its financing arrangements". + ++ A piece of property which has been maintained for about a quarter Century by the Kirkey family will be 'deeded to the family for the•price of the' appraisal, the survey fees and legal costs, There will be no cost for the land itself. Deputy -reeve Bob Allen was opposed to the motion and said he felt a nominal price for the 'Property .should be stated. He asked Reeve Eileen Palmer, chairman of finance, to explain why the town would not attach some price to the property which was appraised at $2,000. ' "How do you explain that, in the light of the financial situation in Goderich?" Allen asked Palmer. The reeve stated again that because the Kirkeys had kept the property in good order for some many years, the land should be theirs. "It they were to put a bill into the town for an 'hourly ratethrough the' 25 Years, it would make .minimum wage look good," said Palmer-. The appraisal costs, legal fees and survey costs will amount to close to $600, council lear- ned. "That's already more than the property is worth," said Palmer. Allen felt a nominal price of from $200 to $500 Should- Ne added to the $600. Council did not concur. +++ Councillor Elsa Haydon got a negative reae- tion when she suggested to council members Monday evening that the first activity in the new cultural centre on South Street should be a council meeting. Several council members looked at her in unbelief. "That has been suggested," said Haydon, who announced that the required $50,000 has been raised for the centre. That brought a round of applause from council.
