The clerk has been authorized to secure an agreement with an appropriate service pro- vider. Huron Kinloss pro- vided Internet and tele- phone voting services in the 2014 election. Other townships in Huron are considering implementing this alternate voting method. Appointment of coun- cillors and township staff to various committees within the township was reviewed and approved. Two new part-time equip- ment operators have been hired to fill vacancies. In finances, from the Ontario Municipal Part- nership Fund, the 2017 allocation to ACW has increased by $66,700 to a total of $719,800. No winter maintenance seasonal road closures for this winter were approved. MacKenzie Camp Road saw significant upgrades this year and will now be plowed during the winter months. A summary of rental rates for the Benmiller Community Hall and Ball Diamond, were presented for councils information. Also under discussion in this session is community grants. The Ontario Municipal Act allows municipal council to pro- vide grants to volunteer based community groups or individuals for any pur- pose that council feels would be beneficial to the community. Council does recognize that these groups provide important benefits within the com- munities and is commit- ted to treating requests for grants from these groups in a consistent manner. A draft policy was presented at this meeting and a bylaw will be brought for- ward at the next council meeting. Lucknow's Music in the Fields early bird tickets on sale Dec. 7 Lucknow's Music in the Fields tickets went on sale Wednesday, Dec. 7. Tick- ets are reduced to $135 until Dec. 31 when they will increase to $150. This year's festival has some big changes in store. The biggest news being that Lucknow's Music in the Fields is moving. The event is relocating to the 55 -acre "Graceland" grounds, revealed last year as a new campground. This venue has been developed and improved throughout the year and will not only accommodate all campers, but will also host the entire festival grounds that will serve as the new home for the event. Now with all campgrounds in the same geographical area as the festival, guests can easily visit friends and partake in all of the activities planned for daytime entertainment. Festival co-chair Ken Irwin said: "Although the Lucknow Soccer Fields and surrounding neigh- bourhood served the event very well in the past, this new location will set a whole new standard for proximity and access to accommodate this increasing fan experience. Now everyone will basi- cally be just outside the front gate of the festival!" As always, free parking and shuttle service will be provided throughout the weekend to ensure patrons have easy access to the town. An improved security pro- gram will also ensure a safe and secure event for all. Another change for this upcoming summer is sin- gle wristband access. With everything in one loca- tion, the pass to Luc- know's Music in the Fields will grant full access to all aspects of the festival, pre- venting the extra costs for additional camping wristbands. The festival continues to grow in both size and experience, while main- taining its initial goal of supporting and giving back to the local commu- nities. Moving into its 9th year, Music in the Fields continues to work hard to maintain its relevance with new features every year to keep attendees on their toes.
