New council meets
BY RON WASSINK
The inaugural meeting of Brussels village
council was held on Monday evening,
December 6 with five visitors attending.
Three Girl Guides attended as part of their
citizens badge project.
Following the swearing in of council
members and public utility commissioners,
Rev. Robin Lyons of St. John's Anglican
Church offered a prayer for the new council
and the village.
Reeve Cal Krauter congratulated council-
lors and the P.U.C. commissioners saying, "I
would hope we have good discussions and
debates during the next three years. It would
be dictatorial to expect us all to agree. all of
the time." He said any business concerning
the village "should be brought to the
attention of council for the best interest of the
village "
- Noting the restraint period Canadians are
facing. Reeve Krauter informed councillors
that village business must continue without
"unduly taxing the people. They are our only
opposition. The people have the power of a
say. and that's the way we're going to have
it.
Committee appointments were made by
the reeve. Chairman of roads is Hank Ten
Pas. and Gordon Workman assisting. Recre-
ation chairman. Gordon Workman and
Elizabeth Graber assisting. Gerry Wheeler
will assist Elizabeth Graber who is chairman
of Property. Fire committee chairman is
Gerry Wheeler. Hank Ten Pas is co-chair-
man.
The first official item of business was
establishing a bylaw to set penalty charges on
overdue taxes at 1411 per cent.
The enthusiasm of the new council was
dampened when clerk Bill King explained the
village would be •'approximately $5.000 short
by December 15." The only solution, he said.
is to "increase the mill rate or decrease
spending."
"If we increase the mill rate. it's like
slapping the taxpayer on both sides of the
face. • said the reeve, who was shocked by
the news.
Mr. King noted the village would not he
required to borrow additional tends "if
everybody paid outstanding bills and taxes.'
When asked by Reeve Krauter. "Did we
overspend?" Mr. King replied. "not greatly.
More was spent on roads and the fire
department.' .:
"There is not much we can do about h. If
we're over speru.. we're overspent," said the
reeve. Mr. King added the village Will have to
borrow additional funds "'for a `couple of
months."
"It's the same old story". said councillor
Hank Ten Pas. "How does this compare with
last year?"
Mr. King said 1981 and '82 figures "are
pretty close, but we didn't have to borrow in
1981 because most taxes were paid."
Although taxes were due November 30. a
figure of outstanding taxes was not available
at press time.
In other news. council approved two
building permits. Waync Todd is remodelling
the inside of two stores and hopes to install a
stone or brick facade. Nancy Hynonen is
installing new siding on a garage.
Accounts payable of approximately
552.000 were approved for payment.
Reappointed to the Medical -Dental hoard
in 1982 for a three year term. Hugh Pearson
has tendered his resignation to the board.
Councillor Graber announced the recrea•
tion family dance was a success. "It w as wall
to wall with children."
Councillor Gerry Wheeler said the Opti
mist Club will not receive a government grant
of 53.000 to assist financing the work
completed at the hall park. He added the
Lions club have not received a 54,000 grant to
• pay for new playground equipment located
near the ball park. "luckily, the ,Optimise
' project is paid for."
A bus donated by a former Brussels yin/en.
to he used by the village and sec, Ice clubs has
been restored and "is in excellent condi
tion" said councillor Workman. The bus is
christened. "Brussels Boosters."
