The chamber currently sits at 67 members, and when through a number of old business items during the discussion. The old hydro poles down- town remain an issue due to Kincardine Cable/Roger's failure to remove their cable lines off of them. Secretary Rod McDonagh said the issue had been brought to the attention of Huron -Kinloss administra- tor Mary Rose Walden, who followed up with Rogers. They have told her the work should be completed by the end of November, 2016. Wal- den will monitor this and fol- low up if the work has not been completed, McDonagh said, adding the COC appreci- ates Huron -Kinloss stepping into the matter. On another issue, the long-standing lack of a safety guard rail having been placed on the south side of the bridge at Waterworks Parks was discussed, since it has been outstanding since the Campbell St. reconstruc- tion in 2014. President Mort Jakobsen said he was again in touch with the Bruce County Public Works Department and has been told the work will be done in the week of Nov 14. Although appreciated, chamber members said they wondered why an obvious deficiency like this has to be chased up so many times. The six new waste bins ordered by and paid for by the COC have been received. Due to when they arrived last month, they were stored and will be placed in the spring of 2017. There was discussion regarding Knechtel's Food Market location. Nothing of real substance is known although there are some "irons in the fire" reportedly. The parking lot is currently being used for overflow parking but will be only partially kept clear of snow for emergency vehicles during the winter. We will once again be pro- moting the COC Community Service Award for members of our community that have in 2016, or in pastyears, contrib- uted to the Village of Lucknow and surrounding area through deeds or contributions, chari- table works or business achievement that have helped develop and strengthen the community.
