Hensall's assessed portion of
the Mousseau Black Creek
Drainage Works stands at
$7,677.36 Councillor Harry
Klungel reported to council
during their regular meeting
Monday night,
Councillor Klungel attended a
meeting in Zurich concerning the
drainage works also on Monday
night but managed to return to
Hensall in time to report to
council.
The original assessment to the
village was $5118.24, a breakdown
of 60 percent of the cost to benefit
and 40 percent to outlet. Since
Hensall will receive an outlet
through the drainage works, their
share was 40 percent.
However there were three
appeals to this assessment basis
at the Monday night meeting in
Zurich between Hay township,
Tuckersmith township and
ratepayers involved. The result.
was the percentage determining
payment was reversed with 60
percent going to outlet and 40
percent going to benefit with the
resulting $2559.12 increase in
Hensall's assessed share.
The outlet is important to the
village as they are planning to
expand their storm sewer system
and although very little town
water is draining into the system
at present, this would change
with completion of the storm
sewers.
Council has proposed renting
the stage are, on the top floor of
the town hall to Agripress for $100
per month, as is. This means any
airconditioning or heating
required by Agripress would
have to be supplied by them with
the village paying for hydro. Bart
DeVries attended the council
meeting on behalf of Agripress
and expressed the feeling this
would be a suitable arrangement.
Written confirmation of the
rental will take place in the near
future.
Council endorsed a resolution
being circulated by the Ausable
Bayfield Conservation .Authority
concerning new safety features
being made mandatory on chain
saws. The Authority wishes the
new legislation to deal with newly
purchased replacement chain
saws only as the cost of replacing
all their chain saws would be
prohibitive.
Council passed a resolution
requesting the Ministry of
Transportation and Com-
munication to pay their share of
the cost of the storm sewers
draining highways 84 and 4. The
sewers are of benefit to the
Ministry and their portion of the
cost is $25,500.
A resolution was passed stating
each volunteer fireman in the
village has an applicable expense
of $300 for income tax purposes.
The next regular meeting of
council will be held June 13 at
7:30 p.m.
