RESOLUTION PASSED The Town of Scafocth passed a resolution last week, giving authorization to the local Lions Club to hold the annual Santa Claus Parade on the evening of December 7, 1990. The parade will begin at 7 pin. and will carry on down Seaforth's Main Street. Viewing stands will also be set up to accommodate the crowd. REQUEST REFERRED A request from the Mid -Huron Landfill Site Board that Seaforth reduce the amount of refuse going to the Mid -Huron Landfill site, has been referred to the Transportation and Environment Committee for further discussion. Tho board is considering a number of options, including; the feasibility of limiting the number of garbage bags for residential users; coposting; and burning. All users of the site have been approached re. the reduction of waste. INVOICED MONTHLY Seaforth's Administrator -Clerk -Treasurer has been given authorization from council to advise the Ministry of the Environment to invoice Seaforth $7,962.92 monthly in 1991 for the sewage service rate. The current annual operating costs of the sewage pumping and treatment facility is $90,944, and the Ministry expects the operating costs will increase by about 22 per cent to 5111,008 annually due to the sewage expansion project. This estimate includes normal Inflationary increases. Because the total sewer project will not be in operation for all of 1991 Council has the option of paying a service charge based on the normal inflationary increase. The normal inflationary increase would be $95,555, or five per cent at $7,962.92 monthly. AMCT DESIGNATION Seaforth's Deputy -Clerk Treasurer has been made a "full member" of the Association of Municipal Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario. In order to qualify as a "full member", Michelle Huard had to have been an "associate member" for at least three years, been employed in a responsible position in the department of the Clerk, Treasurer or Chief Administrative Officer for three years, and have successfully completed the Municipal Administration Program sponsored by the Association of Municipal Clerks of Ontario.

According to the 1991 schedule: a budget spreadsheet will be completed by the last Friday in October; budget working papers will be circulated to department heads together with instructions for calculating employee wages and benefits and a copy of the last year's departmental budget, by the third Tuesday in November; draft budgets will be requested returned to the Administrator by the last Friday in January; budgets will be approved by the administrator for forwarding to committees by the second Friday in February, or the budget is returned to the department head and a meeting to review the budget arranged; and the draft departmental budgets must be circulated to the committees by the last Friday in February,t u 1. . 1. , , l • Meetings to review the departmental budgets will be scheduled to follow the regular committee nights in March; and on the second Wednesday following the March council meeting, the Mayor, Commit- tee Chairs, Administrator -Clerk -Treasurer and Deputy -Clerk will meet to review the entire budget and its impact on the mill rate.

PROGRAM The firm of Drip* ad Touche has boon authanzed by the town to carry asst mitiammitation of the Goods and Services Tu (GST) program for alis as outlined in a paevious proposal. Debuts and Touche will impianeit 10 tasks to be complesod, and municipal staff will be asked to devote as wjuch time as possible to the prow, in order to reduce the costs. With staff involvement costs may be saluted to approximately $5,000 to $6,000. Despite adding its name to a list of municipsliues opposing the GST, Scaforth Council felt it was necessary to prepare for its implementation, in cane opposition to the GST falls on deaf e.ars. PLASTIC RUNNER A plastic runner for the second floor stairs and landing ot the Town Hall will be purchased and installed at a cost of 5238.13 SYSTEM PURCHASED Seaforth Town Council has authorized the purchase ot a Disaster Plan Emergency Radio System. The base station will be purchased by the town and kept in the municipal building. Other components of the system will be purchased b ; the Police Depsrtme n, Public Warks Department, Public Utilities • Seaforth Community Hospital, Seaforth Ambulance Service and the Seaforth Area Fire Department. The decision came after last year's mock disaster identified a serious lack of communication between various departments that would be involved in a local emergency. Department heads have been coor- dinating a review of Seaforth's communication requirements during a local disaster. The town's 1990 budget provided for the purchase of emergency radios to be used in conjunction with a base station at the Town Hall, which would become the Central Control Centre during an emergency. All department heads have agreed that, considering price, quality, and guarantees, Kenwood radios should be purchased from Forest City Communications. They also agree the Town of Seaforth should place the entire order, in order to qualify for a three per cent government discount. The town would then invoice the various departments for their share of the purchase. The town can also submit the entire package for a JEPP grant, although the funds for the grant would not be guaranteed. Forest City communications will be requested to apply for a frequency on behalf of the town. Before the discount the total cost of the system would be $11,600. The base station required by the town hall will cost $1,590. The Seaforth Ambulance Service, and Police Department will each pay $1,152 for a portable; the PUC will pay $1,152 for a portable and $1,338 for two mobiles; the public works department will pay $1,152 for a portable and $669 for a mobile; the Seaforth Fire Department will pay $669 for a mobile; and the Seaforth Community Hospital will pay $1,284 for a base station without remote mike equipment, and $1,442 for two portables.

The additional heating will warm the southeast corner of the building. PURCHASE PRINTER Seaforth's Administrator -Clerk -Treasurer has been authorized to purchase a used Okidata 391 printer at a cost of $750.

Darryl Vorstenbosch, of RR 3 Mitchell, had been spreading gravel on a Hibbert Township farm laneway off County Road 16 just each of Staffa, when the accident occurred. Mr. Vorstenbosch was the son of Fullarton Township Reeve Bert Vorstenbosch who is currently Area corn to help others As farmers finish harvesting the corn, the churches are starting to plan ways to share that harvest with others. For each of the past two years, area congregations have worked together to purchase 140 metric tonnes of Ontario corn for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFGB). The Foodgrains Bank is an inter -denominational organization that operates through the links already forged overseas by its nine partner churches. That enables the CFGB to keep administration costs low when providing food for emergency relief and for work in longterm development projects. Corn from our area has been used for both. The 1989 shipment to Mozambique provided emergency relief in a land devasted by a violent civil war; the 1990 shipment to Angola provided food for work to construct a medical building. The 1991 shipment will again go to Africa. The det'sils of its destination and purposes will be forthcoming in the next few weeks. Area organizers are starting now to plan for this next drive. The early date gives congregations time to discuss the project at their board and congregational meetings before the drive itself next February. Any churches or individuals considering joining this community effort are invited to Egmondville United Church on Sunday, November 25 at 8 p.m. NOTICE OF PROPOSED NURSING HOME LICENCE RENEWAL AND REQUEST FOR SUBMISSIONS PROJECT 152-91 Pursuant to the Nursing Homes Act, notice is hereby given of the intent of the Director, Residential Services Branch. to renew the licence of the following nursing home: Seaforth Manor Seaforth, Ontario Submissions concerning the proposed licence renewal may be gent to The Director.
