Recommendation to change parking bylaw in Lucan/Biddulph
Continued from front page
streets, the rest of council
was in favour of keeping
the bylaw as it is.
Deputy Mayor Perry
Caskanette pointed out
snow removal is not the
only reason to have such a
bylaw. It also makes it
easier for street sweeping
to be accomplished and
prohibits people from
parking vehicles on the
street for unnecessarily
long periods of time.
Cat complaint
Council also discussed
correspondence received
from Cindy Ivanitz regard-
ing a complaint about
cats.
Ivanitz suggested council
post a notice to local cat
owners stating cats should
be leashed when outdoors
and permitting citizens to
catch loose cats which
stray on to their property
and contact the local dog
catcher to have the animal
taken away.
"The cat feces in my
yard and gardens are
quickly becoming unruly
and from discussions with
my neighbours I am not
the only person with this
problem," Ivanitz states in
her letter.
Caskanette said a
London organization
called Backyard Friends
will pick up stray cats. He
suggested this information
could be made available in
council's next newsletter.
Coun. Wayne Hall said
he would not be opposed
to a notice being placed in
the newsletter and public
places, but that it should
include dog owners as
well.
McLaughlin said it
sounded like Ivanitz was
having a problem with
neighbourhood cats and
wondered if she had spo-
ken to the owners about
it.
"We should encourage
dialogue between the
neighbours," he said.
Watermain
Council received the
minutes of a meeting
between the municipality,
Birnam Excavating Ltd.
and Dillon Consulting Ltd.
regarding the Lucan-
Granton watermain pro-
ject.
As of June 23, 41 per
cent of the watermain had
been placed, 35 per cent
of the ditch restoration
was complete, including
seed and mulch, and a
trenchless crossing of
Saintsbury Line was done.
By the next meeting,
which is scheduled for
July 7, a complete trench -
less crossing of Highway
23, the completion of the
watermain at Saintsbury
Line and Fallon Drive,
continued watermain
installation towards
Granton and the testing of
a watermain section
between Saintsbury Line
and Highway 23 was
anticipated to be com-
plete.
Youth centre
Caskanette updated
council on a meeting held
for the youth of the com-
munity in the basement of
Ausable Community
Centre June 29.
He said 22 youth attend-
ed the meeting and came
up with a list of sugges-
tions for youth involve-
ment in the community.
Council gave its support
to a project for a youth
centre, although none of
the councillors would
commit to creating a new
building for the facility.
Council agreed existing
space should be utilized
for the purpose.
Coun. Doug Anderson
said he was quite
impressed with the num-
ber of youth who attended
the meeting, adding he
thought they presented a
lot of good ideas. The rest
of council agreed.
Canada Day
Hall expressed his disap-
pointment that the munic-
ipality did nothing to cele-
brate Canada Day.
Council supported him
in finding out who has
been responsible for fes-
tivities in the past and
who could take on the
project in the future.
Caskanette recommend-
ed alternating an event
annually between Granton
and Lucan.
Condolences
On behalf of council,
McLaughlin extended his
condolences to the family
and friends of Jeff
Pincombe, formerly of
Granton, who was killed
in a car accident over the
weekend. A moment of
silence was taken in
Pincombe's memory.
The Carlson Wagonlit Ellison Travel eighth annual charity golf tournament June 23
raised $7,500 for charity, with the funds split equally among the Crohn's and
Colitis Foundation, the London Regional Cancer Centre and Community Living.
The event, which took place at Ironwood Golf Club, included 144 golfers. Pictured
