The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1976-12-02, Page 3The recommendation of change
was introduced following an
article which appeared in the
November4 edition of The Exeter
Times Advocate indicating that a
member of council Ted Wright
was unable to run for reeve or
deputy reeve since the regular
county council sessions were held
on the last Friday of the month
and Friday is usually a busy day
i for people n business,
During discussion on the
recommendation, many coun-
cillors indicated their willingness
to make the change though a few
felt that it did not seem totally
logical to make a meeting change
for the sake of one candidate who
had yet to be elected to the body.
The recommendation was
finally turned back to the new
council for the 1977-78 term of
office,
In other business arising from
the executive committee report
county council agreed to begin
organization of a microfilming
project of County records.
The committee had discussed
the advisability of microfilming
or otherwise retaining the
various documents and materials
indexed by the students who had
completed the history project in
1975. Some of that material is
already on microfilm but, the
committee noted, it would seem
that unless a minimum of two
other organizations or in-
stitutions are interested in
securing copies, the cost would be
prohibitive.
The Committee had authorized
the clerk to arrange a meeting
with Cathy McKinley, project co-
ordinator in 1975, and the County
Librarian to determine exactly
what records or documents
should be microfilmed or
otherwise retained to ensure
availability. When this has been
determined, the University of
Western Ontario, the Huron
County Board of Education, the
Huron County Historical Society,
as well as any other agencies who
might have an interest in the
history of Huron County are to be
contacted to determine what
records they may have or may
wish to have in their safekeeping.
Five University Scholarships
were announced and confirmed
at last Thursday's County
Council Session, Scholarships are
awarded to students having a
cumulative average of "A" and
represent $100.
Three sutdents at the
University of Guelph were named
for the awards; Leonard
Miltenburg of RR 7, Lucknow,
Avon Toll of RR 3 Blyth and Mary
Miltenburg of RR 7 Lucknow. At
the University of Waterloo
County Scholarships went to
Donna Renwick of RR 1 Clifford
and Tony Roest of RR 1 Clinton,
The Executive Committee
reported on a meeting with
representatives of the University
of Western Ontario and the
University of Waterloo in con-
nection with bursary awards.
There were 42 applications for
the 10 $100 bursariesfor students
at Western and 26 applications
for the 10 $100 bursaries for
students at the University of
Waterloo.
Acting on a recommendation
from the executive committee
the council approved the in-
troduction of the Canada Savings
Bond payroll savings plan. The
action was taken following
requests by a number of em-
ployees that the County adopt the
scheme.
In previous years county
representatives on various local
hospital boards have been invited
to the November session of
Council to present their reports.
As a result, the reports were not
always completed for the same
period of time, making com-
parison of costs difficult.
It was agreed that in future the
representatives be requested to
report to the February session
each year, and that the reports be
based on the previous calendar
year.
As Christmas and New Year's
Day fall on Saturdays this year,
with Boxing Day on Sunday,
alternate days will be granted to
County employees for the normal
days off work.
Council agreed that Friday and
Monday be the designated days
off in connection with Christmas,
and Monday in connection with
New Year's for all county
departments except where of-
fices must be open on the Friday
and/or the Monday.
Union secretarial salaries have
now been finalized and an in-
crease of eight percent has been
awarded in those contracts.
Council approved a pay
schedule for non-union
secretaries which awards similar
increases effective July 1, 1976.
Group one secretaries will
receive salaries ranging from the
minimum of $7,020 to the
maximum of $8,580, Group two
from $7,410 to $8,970, Group three
$7,800 to $9,360 and Group four
$8,684 to $10,244.

The Huron County Council
heard a number of recom-
mendations from the County
Planning Board at the regular
council session last Thursday
concerning the by-law recom-
mended by council to be passed
by municipalities banning open
liquid animal waste storage
lagoons.
Following discussion at the
October session of County
Council and meetings with the
Huron County Federation of
Agriculture and Jacob Pos of the
University of Guelph some
suggestions were put forward,
Modification of the by-law to
require a lid, or a safety fence on
an open liquid animal waste
storage tank was suggested. It
was also recommended that a
certificate of compliance be
required prior to the issuing of a
building permit for any proposed
liquid manure storage tank.
According to the Planning
Board report there are several
factors implied in the first
suggestion.
That any lid be constructed in
such a manner that it would be
sufficiently strong to meet
climatic requirements, to sup-
port additional weight which may
be added by people Or animals
which may accidentally venture
on to the lid, and be provided with
an adequate closure to prevent
access to the tank by children or
animals,
Also, that any safety fence be
high enough, solid enough, and
strong enough, to prevent access
to the tank by children and
animals, and be provided with an
adequate closure to prevent
access to the tank by children or
animals,
There are several factors as
well, implied in the second
suggestion.
That the provisions of the
Agricultural Code of Practice
will be an adequate method of
evaluating a livestock operation
and its manure handling
facilities, and that the
municipality can enforce the
provisions of the Agricultural
Code of Practice.
The structural strength of the
lid of the tank is covered by the
Ontario Building Code, and the
provisions of the Canadian Code
for Pam Buildings, It is, under
provisions of the Ontario Building
Code, the contractors' respon-
sibility to ensure structural
tuffielency,
Standards for a safety fence
are, however, not covered by the
Canadian Code for Farm
Buildings.
A comparable structure to open
top liquid tanks would be a
swimming pool, according to the
Planning Board. The standards
recommended and circulated to
all municipalities include that the
fence can be of chain link, solid
wood or metal or open board with
a maximum opening of two in-
ches. It must be a minimum of 60
inches high and all gates must
have a self closing latch.
For silo type storage tanks, the
height of the ladder above ground
is established by the Canadian
Code for Farm Buildings at five
feet, although most contractors,
use an eight foot minimum.
The Ontario Farm Safety
Association recommends a safety
fence around an open tank. They
do not have standards for the
type and height of fence however.
The Agricultural Code of
Practice is the only method
available for evaluating the type
and location of liquid manure
storage structures. As part of the
evaluation the type and number
of livestock, the method of
manure management, the in-
crease in size of the livestock
operation and the type and size of
the manure storage structure are
all considered.
The Board recommended that
the townships passing by-laws
concerning the construction of
liquid animal waste storage
tanks should include as a
minimum, a requirement for a
certificate of compliance and a
site plan diagram. A requirement
for a safety fence meeting the
standards of the proposed
swimming pool by-law for any
portion of an open liquid tank
which is less than five feet above
the ground provision of a penality
for not meeting either the
provisions of the site plan
diagram, or the provisions of the
safety fence by-law.
