Clerk asks for a drain commissioner GORRIE — After a request by clerk -treasurer Wesley Ball, Howick Townshin Council will look into the • merits of attaining the services of a township drain superintendent with the possibility of Maitland Engineering Services Limited of Wingham hiring a superintendent for, two or more muncipalities. Andy_McBride, an engineer with MES, said his company had' been con- sidering hiring a community college technician or technologist in the engineering field. Two or more municipalities would then pay the engineering firm for the use of the person hired as a township drain superintendent. In his explanation to council, Mr.. Ball said he has recently received enquiries concerning repairs to municipal drains. ; "Some "are minor while others are more _ sub- stantial," said Mr. Ball. The clerk -treasurer said thedrainage superintendent would coordinate matters concerning.. a drain, : and report to...couneil. The commissioner 'or • superin- tendent would make the decision as *whether ornot the drain requires an • engineer's report . • "It's difficult ' from the office to: co-ordinate drainage matters," said Mr. Ball. He said the problem is not new, but one thathas been "plaguing" phim recently. "Ite s tome it woud'be very, very advantageous for Howick to have a drainage commissioner," said Mr. Bali. He gave an example 'of a time when he was contacted about a drain that was not working properly. He said he called a contractor and asked him to look at the drain and give a cost estimate of the work required. Mr. Ball related how the contractor had to deal with two landowners who disagreed with what work should be done. ' "That's not his job," said Mr. Ball. Coun. Bill Newton questioned how drainage commissioners worked in other municipalities and how the commissioner would be paid. Mr. McBride named several of Howick's neigh- boring township's that have a drainage commissioner and said they worked very well. He added that the commissioner would be paid from the general township account. "I can see that would be frowned upon," said Deputy Reeve Jack Stafford. Mr. McBride said the, township could hire a co ioner to inspect the -dr ns and report periodically back to council. He compared the township drain commissioner to the township road superin- tendent by stating that drains are as important to a farmer as roads, He added that while the provincial government gives grants for drainage works, there is no money for the township to maintain drains. "They're (provincial government) not protecting their investment," said Mr. McBride. Reeve Harold Robinson sit ;,.:'4';'¢. asked what kind of a land owner would not fix their own *ant and let the municipality know., if it was not working. "The average landowner doesn't;"card Mr. McBride. The engineer said the maintenance of drains is a municipal responsibility. Mr. Ball said regular in- spections of drains could follow later, but more urgently . he said he had about five telephone calls regarding individual drains and decisions had to be made before the drains got worse. "It's just a little more bureaucracy," said Reeve Robinson on the whole question of hiring a drain commissioner. a Mr. McBride suggested that his company could temporarily hire someone to be a drain} commissioner for two or more drains. He Said: the company. has; been askek to estin ste a job1 and act as drain' commissioners using present staff. "You are in a position to hire.a man cheaper than we could," said Coun. Stuart Douglas: Coun. Douglas' Said the person hired would have • to be qualified to do the job and Mr. McBride agreed saying, that community colleges - have technicians or technologists in the field of engineering. No decision was made by council and the .discussion closed and Mr. McBride left. MCMICHAEL DRAIN Council provisionally adopted the bylaw approving the engineer's report for the McMichael Drain which will be reconstructed at a total cost of $57,085, with $19,505 of that material costs. The drain starts on lots 18, 17, and ' 16 off Con. A and travels across con. 12 and 13 and ends on the south side of the VanEdgin property. • Several landowners, sat in on the meeting to hear engineer McBride's report. The court of revision for ' the drain will be held at ,the next regular council meeting, and pending its results, tenders have been called. In°other business, council approved building permits for' Tom MacEwen of RR 2, Gorrie for a driving shed; Gary Miller of Lakelet for a house addition;'J6hn Koch of Gorrie, for a storage shed; Vern Ingals of Teeswater for a house addition on con. 17; Howick Mutual Insurance of Wroxeter for a building addition; and Harold Robinson of Gorrie, for a new dwelling and garage on 152 Victoria Street, Gorrie. Reeve Robinson declared a conflict of interest in con- nection with the issuance of a building permit and refrained from discussing or voting on the matter ; Approved accounts totaling $53,648.73 including a road account of $17,417.03.
