Morris council deals with numerous budgets
Several budgets for the coming
year were approved by Morris
Twp, council at the Feb. 18 meet
ing.
The drainage budget was set at
$100,000 with $80,000 going to
maintenance and $20,000 to
drainage superintendent costs and
the waste disposal budget at
$72,010.
Approval was given to the Wing
ham and Fire Area Board budget at
$207,400, the Brussels, Morris,
Grey Community Centre budget at
$307,581.64 and the Blyth and Dis
trict Community Centre Board bud
get at $195,900.
Drainage Superintendent Gary
Nichol was advised to proceed with
maintenance to the Hanna Drain, if
all landowners are in agreement.
The landowners of Lot 22, Cone.
3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9 will be asked if
they wish to enter into an agree
ment for drainage assessment share
on the hydro corridor.
Morris council has a year-end
surplus of $5,318, reported Russ
Taylor of Reid and Associates,
Wingham.
Following a request from Doug
Gamiss and Keith Elston for sup
port for the Belgrave, Blyth, Brus
sels School Fair, council reviewed
their 1996 policy for grants. From
1992 to 1994, the fair had received
$150, but that amount had been cut
in half for 1996, as had all other
grants. The grant for 1995 was
$200 because of the special occa
sion.
Council agreed to increase the
support to $150, with a letter sent
to the fair board explaining coun
cil's previous decision to cut the
grant.
Wayne Fear and Paul Fear
attended the meeting, along with
Chief Building Official Paul
Josling, to discuss the construction
of a new bam at Lot 3, 4, Cone. 6.
The barn would require a minor
variance to reduce the separation
distance by 33 per cent. The prop
erty to which the bam would be too
close is owned by the Fears, but
registered in a different name.
Council advised a 33 per cent
reduction was difficult to justify.
Josling also advised council on
the approval of a septic tank for Lot
25, Cone. 1.
