Council accepts gravel tenders At the last April meeting. a total of four gravel tenders were received for North Huron council's considera- tion for 19,000 metric tonnes of five- eighths 'A' gravel to the north end of the East Wawanosh ward. Radford Construction of Blyth was awarded the contract to supply, crush, load and haul the gravel for the tendered price of $3.16 per met- ric tonne. *** The long, harsh winter has claimed another victim: 911, signs. Ralph Campbell, North Huron's rural roads manager, said a number of signs have been damaged by snowplowing this winter. "It's pretty tough going into the farmer saying, 'You have to spend $30 to $40 to replace those signs...Who's going to pay for them: that's the issue," said Campbell. Bob Thompson, director of public works, said he believes it is the town- ship's responsibility to replace the signs if its crews did the damage. Deputy Reeve Jeff Howson agreed. "We can't control the weather. Go ahead and take care of it," he told Campbell. However, it remains uncertain whether Councillor Murray Scott will get his 911 sign replaced: it appears he ran over it himself. *** Tom Pridham of R. J. Burnside & Associates Ltd. has been appointed engineer on the Whitfield Municipal Drain. Campbell also asked council's opinion on when to hold an on-site meeting with council members pres- ent and when to just proceed with the work. A policy was initiated whereby a council member shall be present if the work totals over $1,000. Campbell said there are numerous drain clean-outs slated for this year on the Jackson, Plaetzer and Walker drainage works. Council will hold a road tour later this spring to familiar- ize all members with the location of these drainage works and other sites around the township. *** Bruce Colwell of JBC Plastics. located just outside Wingham, attended last week's meeting to dis- cuss the zoning on his property, the former Ministry of Natural Resources office on County Road 4 south. Colwell said the temporary zoning is up for review this month and while he said he has no problem with the agriculture-related requirement, he said he would prefer a longer period than three years. Colwell explained he has had some interest in the building from potential tenants, but most want a period not less than five years for a lease arrangement. Clerk-Administrator John Stewart said he believes the term for tempo- rary zonings under the Planning Act is three years and therefore cannot be altered. Council instructed Stewart to contact Brian Treble, North Huron planner, to discuss the request and the zoning.
