The present agreement runs out in March. Bosanquet councillor- Charlie Srokosz attended Grand Bend council's regular meeting Mon- day night to discuss the agree- ment. Councillor Bill Baird presented Mr. Srokosz with a review of the cost of maintaining the dump with the request Bosanquet con- sider paying just under half of the total cost per year. This would make Bosanquet's share just under $10,000. The village, according to coun- cillor Baird, is also willing to allow Bosanquet a deduction on their share of the costs.by $2 per yard for every yard of clay the township delivers to the dump. "Having Bosanquet truck in some ,of the required clay could save costs quite a bit" said Baird. "The clay has to be truck- ed in anyway and by letting Bosanquet do some of it we save two ways," Srokosz explained Bosanquet realizes the supervision alone of the dump is a lot of work. "It means a lot to us if we can just back our truck in and dump" said Srokosz. He added, "We want to play ball and we know we supply at least half of the garbage and it is your site so I don't think your es- timate is unreasonable." Srokosz will take the report back to his council for a decision. Bosanquet is presently prepar- ing their own site for garbage dumping so when the Grand Bend dump is filled the situation could be reversed as Grand Bend might then use the Bosanquet site. CELEBRATE BIRTHDAYS was Constable Bill Wilson Constable Wilson but two Dearing and Della Sims, Grand Bend council has given permission to Grand Cove Estates to construct a pipeline from their sewage, lagoons to the Ausable river provided Grand Cove stands good for any damages to the roads. Doug Barker, representing Grand Cove Estates, made the request at the regular council meeting Monday night and assured council the Ministry of the Environment must approve the runoff from the lagoon system is properly treated before it will be sent through the pipeline This pipeline will allow Grand Cove Estates to go ahead with their proposed expansion this spring, adding additional home dwelling units to the existing development. Without the pipeline, the expansion could be delayed as the present lagoon system is not big enough to han- dle more units. Eventually Grand Cove could house as many as 700 units. Council approved a request from the developer of the Lakeview Casino property that the zoning be changed to R-3, multi-family dwellings, from its present C, commercial, provided the developer conform to all R-3 rules and council has site plan approval. This would mean coun- cil must approve the basic style of whatever is constructed. In response to a request from Council that the Ministry of Natural Resources review its ap- proval of a submission by Don Southcott concerning the con- struction of docks along the Ausable River, the Ministry in- formed council once again that they have no direct control over private property. The Ministry suggested council contact the Ausable Bayfield Authority if they wish a review of the poten- tial changes in the river flow. Council has already contacted the Authority concerning the matter and were informed it would be discussed at the Authority's meeting February 2. Solicitors Donnelly, and Murphy of Goderich informed The Grand Bend recreation committee requested council's approval for a planned skating rink on the frozen Ausable river at council's regular meeting Monday night. Councillor Bill Uniac, who is a member of the recreation committee, explained to council the committee is hoping to get either the fire department or the PUC to do the flooding in the area . and hopefully the town could keep the'surface- clear of 's noW" someone else to do it., The main problem, according to Councillor Harold Green, also a member of the contmittee, would be the initial clearing of the snow and also the problem of getting heavy equipment onto the ice surface to clear it. The ice at the edges of the river is not as solid as the ice in the centre. Council recommended the recreation committee go ahead with their plans for the skating rink and also suggested the committee try and get some help with the project from some of the local organizations. In other business pertaining to recreation, council appointed Harold Hartle to the committee for a three year term following a recommendation from the committee, Deputy Reeve Bob Simpson requested the recreation com- mittee have their budget in to council by mid-March at the latest. A joint meeting was set up between the recreation corn- NO SEWERS Sewers are not coming to Grand Bend this fall according to Reeve Bob Sharen. Reeve Sharen informed council at their regular meeting Monday evening he has received verbal confirmation from the ministry of the en- vironment concerning the sewer delay. Reeve Sharen says there are 12 projects approved beyond the final engineering study which will not go to tender this year, Grand Bend has just had its final engineering study completed so the delay in the sewers could be for some time. Council requested the village clerk get written confirmation from the ministry concerning the delay and also request the ministry explain the manner in which the sewer projects priorities are established. As well, council wishes a definite date be given by the ministry for the Grand Bend sewer project. council they have completed a survey of the title concerning the ownership of the beach property and are convinced the area west of government road is provin- cial. Donnelly and Murphy have acknowledged their appointment as the village solicitors. Council passed a by-law to borrow $100,000 until taxes are collected, Another by-law to borrow $25,- 000 for Shorelines Assistance was passed by council. The money will be used to assist those wishing to do erosion con- trol work along the Ausable River according to plans prepared by the Ausable Bayfield Authority. Accounts in the sum of $10,- 142,19 were approved for pay- ment, mittee and the council to discuss in depth what the responsibilities of the recreation committee are. This meeting will take place in the council chambers February 3 at 7.30 p.m. Don Southcott denied accusing Grand Bend Reeve Bob Sharen of any conflict of interest concer- ning the zoning' by-law of the village at the regular meeting of council Monday night. What Southcott did say, was that he accused Reeve Sharen of having a "potential" cpnflict of interest in the matter since Mr. Sharen is president and minor shareholder of Ausable Holdings Ltd. of Grand Bend. Southcott explained his objec- tion to having Reeve Sharen take part in the zoning by-law dis- cussions by saying "the point is, I as a developer do not know whether Mr. Sharen or his com- pany is considering buying the neighbouring land and thereby benefiting from a zoning decision." However, the village solicitor, Dan Murphy of Donnelly and Murphy, Goderich responded by saying under that criteria, any councillor may be said to have a potential conflict of interest, not just Reeve Sharen. Murphy went on to say he felt there was no conflict of interest involving Reeve Sharen par- ticipating as a member of coun- cil in discussions with ratepayers concerning the village's new zon- GRADUATES IN NURSING — A recent Registered Nursing Assis- tant graduate from the Ontario Government School in London was Darlene Van Praet.

Murphy assured Southcott had reached this conclusion after studying all correspondence pertaining to the matter and by studying the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act. The villages former solicitors have reached the same conclusion and stated so in.a letter to the village. Southcott had first raised the conflict of interest issue at a ratepayers meeting last October 18 to discuss any objections to Grand Bend's new comprehen- sive zoning by-law.
