Blyth Council Briefs
Council supports call for lot levy
Blyth village councillors voted to
support a resolution from the
Township of Euphrasia asking the
provincial government to allow
small municipalities to charge a lot
levy of up to $ 1,000.
Under new provincial legislation,
municipalities will be able to
charge a lot levy on new develop
ments to help cover the cost of
municipal services. But the legisla
tion requires a development
charges study before the levy can
be charged. Also the municipality
must have a bylaw allowing for the
charges in place by Nov. 23.
The Euphrasia resolution pointed
out that many small municipalities
don't have enough development to
warrant the cost of the study. Still,
it said, small municipalities should
n't be penalized by being unable to
charge the lot levy. Therefore it
asked that municipalities with
under 5000 population be able to
charge up to $1000 per lot without
a study or having to seek Ontario
Municipal Board approval.
Reeve Wasson said Blyth Clerk
treasurer Helen Grubb (who was
absent for the meeting, had sug
gested council might want to sup
port the resolution.
Councillor Dave Lee suggested
small communities were "some
what damned if we do and damned
if we don't" as far as the studies
were concerned. If council went
ahead with a study, it would have
to spend a good deal of money but
if it didn't have a bylaw in place, it
would lose the potential income
from the levies. Council agreed to
support the Euphrasia resolution as
the best alternative.
***
Councillor Shirley Fyfe reported
problems with vandalism by young
people around Memorial Hall. A
flag was stolen and flowerbeds had
been damaged. In addition, she
said, some female employees were
"scared stiff" to come out of the
building late at night because of the
terrorizing tactics of some of the
boys involved.
Council agreed to contact the
O.P.P. about their concerns.
Council decided to place an add .
in an upcoming issue of Focus
newsmagazine which will celebrate
the beginning of the 150th anniver
sary of Huron County.
"We should be represented," said
Councillor Steven Sparling adding,
"afterall, we're Huron county's
leading municipality." Pushing his
tongue even further into his cheek
he suggested that "five or six pages
should get our point across". Coun
cil will consult with other munici
palities to see the amount of space
they will devote to the advertise
ment.
Two years after it was supposed
to have been signed, the rental/use
agreement for Memorial Hall
between the village and Blyth Cen
tre for the Arts is nearly ready for
signing. Council was told that a
final copy of the agreement was to
go before the Board of Directors of
the Centre for its approval. Final
details between the village and the
Centre on an easement for a power
supply going through the Centre's
building to serve the Memorial Hall
addition is also being negotiated.*♦*
Reeve Albert Wasson reported
that permission had been received
to develop the area to the west of
the current area being used at the
Blyth-Hullctt Waste Disposal site.
Development will likely start "as
soon as we can get somebody al it,"
he said.
***
With their program to install
entrance signs at the east, west, and
north entrances of the village final
ly completed after years of plan
ning and months of special
meetings, councillors spent a few
minutes looking at a chunk of the
west sign that have been chipped
right out of the middle. Councillor
Sparling said officials from the
company that made the sign said a
beer bottle or stone wouldn't have
been strong enough to do the dam
age. The sign is a special material
nearly a half inch thick. It couldn't
have been an accident, he said and
the sign maker speculated it may
have been a bullet that made a hole
in the sign less than a month after it
was installed. The signmakcr will
try to patch the sign.
