Accept snow
removal
tender
Tenders for snow removal for the Village
of Lucknow for the 1979-80 winter were
opened at the council's meeting on October
16. The tender from Bill Nelson of Lucknow
was accepted at $27.50 an hour for bl-Ower
and tractor and $20 an •hour for trucks.
Tenders were also received from Robert
Symes at $23 an hour for blower and tractor,
S23 an hour for two yard loader and $17 an
hour for tandem trucks. A third tender was
received from Kinloss Sand and Gravel at
$23 an hour for blower and tractor, $20 an
hour for 21/2 yard loader and $17 an hour for
tandem trucks.
Council only considered blowers and
tractors when making their decision concern-
, ing \ snow removal for this winter: Councillors
pointed out that last year's snow removal by
blower and tractor was more efficient than
using a loader and trucks.
Council agreed Bill Nelson had done a fine
job of removing the snow last winter and
decided to hire him again this year, even
though his tender was higher than the other
two received:
Tenders for fuel oil were also opened at
the October nieeting of Village Council.
Tenders were received from the Lucknow
District Co-op, BP Oil and Chisholm Fuels.
The lowest tender, received from the Co-op,
was acc.tpted.
settlements
are tied to nursing salaries on 'a per-
centage basis, across the ,whole
hospital.
The wage settlement is contained in '
the budget figure submitted to the
•health ministry.
The hospital's executive director
Norman Hayes said he did not an-
ticipate the size of the some of the
settlements. The hospital is asking for
additional allocations on the basis of
the awards.
Mr. Hayes said there is a precedent
for obtaining additional funds. In 1974 a
large award was given to service
.2rrIployees after the budgets were filed
and the ministry went hack to fhe
cabinet and acquired more funds.
The hospital deficit of $150,000. ac-'
•rrued when the hospital refused to cut
;4, beds ordered closed by the health
ministry has started- to reduce, said
Hayes. . • He stated no further staff
• layoffs wil be necessary and indicated
with the help of all•the hospital staff the
deficit should he reduced in a short
period of time.
Adopt wait
and see
attitude.....
•from page 1 ,
never convince me it isn't politics. It's
politics right down the line and it's
dirt."
Council deliberated over the issue for
some time indicating they wished to
support the hospital board in their
battle witth the ministry to keep the
beds open ,but not wanting to support
the board financilly until they were
certain the board was going to proceed
with their legal case.
Councillor Murray told the other
members he did not like taking a
backseat to (Health Minister Dennis)
Timbrell. •
"I don't care whether it's provincial
or federal, I'll fight it if it takes three
appeals and costs $150.000.
In view of the fact the hospital board
was meeting the following evening and
because rumour indicated the board
may be deciding to drop their legal
case against the ministry, Lucknow
council decided to withold their
decision until the board decided
whether they were going to persue
legal action.
