Police Commission accepts Earl Rawson's resignation with regret
The Goderich Police
Commission accepted,
with regret, the
resignation of com-
mission member Earl
Rawson when it met last
Thursday.
Rawson told the
commission that he was
resigning with regret due
to business com-
mitments. He said he felt
that it was an appropriate
time to resign because
contracts and most of the
commission's business
issues had been settled
for this year.;
His resignation has
been forwarded to the
Solicitor General who will
in turn appoint a new
member to the Goderich
Police Commission.
In other business„ the
commission went into a
closed session with the
Board of Management of
the Huron County
Municipal Police Com-
munications System to
discuss the status of the
system's dispatchers.

management. consists of
the representatives from
the five municipalities
which are part of the
communications system.

that the board
acknowledge that the
civilian employees

of the Goderich Police
Department fall under
the collective agreement
dated July 19, 1979 bet-
ween the Board of Police
Commissioners and the
Civilian Employee of the
Goderich Police
Department.
At the time of
bargaining, ' the motion
states, the Police
Association. contract and
the civilian contract will
be negotiated' separately.
The negotiating com-
mittee will consist' of the
mayor or his municipal
delegate from the five
par.t1cipating
municipalities in the
Huron County Municipal
-Police Communications
System.
After coming out of
,closed session, the
Goderich commission
received and filed several
items of correspondence.
It was decided to send
several delegates to the
fall general meeting of
the Association of
Municipal Police
Governing Authorities in
Toronto in November.
Chief King was ap-
pointed to follow up on a
letter sent to the com-
mission by the Public
Utilities Commission
regarding the number of
advertising posters
appearing on hydro poles.

investigating the t ex-
pansion of the police
department into the
recreation office
following that office's
move to the grandstand
slated for October 15. The
recreation office space is
to be divided between the
police and fire depart-
ments.

commission that the by-
law respecting taxi
meters would be
amended to deal with
metric conversion.
• The Chief's activity
report for the month of
August was accepted by
the committee. A break-
in occurred this weekend
