REQUEST INPUT
The Town of Seaforth will forward a foliar to the Township of
Tuckersrnith, informing u of the town's intention to resurface George
Street South m 1993, and requesting input as to the level of servicing
desired by the township. Owe the road restutaced, the town does not
intend to ding it up.
COMPOSTING AGREEMENT
The Town of Seaforth has given authorization to its clerk to execute
a letter of undersuinding with Paul Vandarmokn and Don hoard
concerning thou proposal w compost leaves collected by the awn staff.
The leaves are deposited on municipal property known locally as
W eatbra nch.
The leua addresses concerns the town Inas concerning the proposal,
and requires: that the leaves being composted be kept in the area In
which the town deposits them; that the leaves not be windrowed higher
than four feet (because there is no buffering around the site);
that the compostcrs ensure that weeds grass are kept under control
inside the compost area on a regular basis; that the compostars ensure
that all composted material is completely removed and the area cleaned
and ready for new leaves on or before September 30 each year.
SUPPORT RESOLUTION
Seaforth Town Council added its support to a resolution passed by the
Town of Exeter concerning the minimum age requirement for
lifeguards.
According to Ontario regulations, lifeguards must be at least 17, years
of age, and hold the required lifeguarding certificates. Sixteen -year-olds
can only be considered assistant lifeguards.
The resolution states that since 16 is recognized by the province as ar
age of responsibility with regard to the operation of a motor vehicle,
and since the Red Cross Society and Royal Life Saving Society of
Canada recognize 16 as an age of responsibility with regard to
certification of Red Cross and Royal Life Saving Society Instructors and
National Lifeguard Service, that the age limit for "full" lifeguard status,
be lowered to 16.
ENDORSE LETTER
The Town of Seaforth also gave its support to another letter circulated
by the Town of Exeter. This letter outlines a proposal for changes in
funding to the conservation authorities in the province.
The letter states that the province has unreasonable control on transfer
payments to authorities, because it dictates which studies and which
capital projects will be funded on the basis of provincial priorities and
not local needs. Yet conservation authorities are charged with the
responsibility of managing watersheds and addressing local resource-
based problems not provincial concerns.
It recommends the Ministry of Natural Resources allocate a block of
funding based on whatever criteria it deems fit, to each authority to
manage local watershed problems. If the Ministry wished to play an
active part in the process, it could then retain responsibility for approval
of local budgets. This procedure, it explains, would allow for reasonable
long-range planning, a degree of local autonomy and the elimination of
the annual conflict between authorities and their respective councils.
OPPOSE GST
Seaforth added its name to the growing list of municipalities opposed
to implementation of the Goods and Services Tax. Council endorsed a
resolution from the City of North York Last week, which pointed .out
that public opinion has swelled to 80 per cent of Canadians opposed to
the GST.
The resolution noted the federal government will be spending over
$260 million in 1990-91 for salaries and promotions to implement the
GST, a figure considered an outrageous waste of tax dollars. North
York felt implementation of the GST would only aggravate the
country's serious and deepening financial recession.
The resolution has been forwarded to all 4,400 municipalities in
Canada, and all are been encouraged to endorse it.
In addition to endorsing North York's resolution against the GST.
Seaforth Council also endorsed a similar message from Toronto Mayor
Art Eggleton, Elstow Mayor Brad Cabana and Dartmouth Mayor John
Savage.
APPROVES TRANSFER
The Town of Seaforth has given its approval for the Seaforth and
District Community Centres to transfer monies from its capital reserve
fund to the current Operating Fund, for the replacement of the conces-
sion booth pop cooler. The compressor on the old cooler has stopped
working.
A new, 50 -foot Habco pop cooler, will cost $2,117.15 plus provincial
sales tax. The replacemnt of the pop cooler, however, was not included
in the community centres' 1990 capital budget, so financing is being
sought from the capital reserve fund. All transfers, either to or from the
reserve fund, must be authorized by all five member municipalities.
