At the Jan. 10 Huron East
council meeting, clerk-
administrator Jack
McLachlan said several
councillors were available to
meet with a developer
concerning the Brussels
library on Monday, Jan. 9 but
he was not at liberty to report
what had been discussed.
"It seems like we talk about
how we're going to talk about
[the library] for 10
minutes...we're not getting
anywhere," deputy-mayor
Bernie MacLellan said.
"Once we make a decision
there is a lot of work to be
done."
MacLellan added that not
all of council has been at the
meetings and they need to be
brought up to speed.
McLachlan said councillors
David Blaney, MacLellan and
mayor Joe Seili met with the
developer to "discuss what
needs to be done before we
can discuss it."

Clerk-treasurer, Brad
Knight presented the 2005 tax
arrears report to council that
stated tax arrears as a per cent
of roll have increased slightly
each year since 2003 and in
2005 were 10.3 per cent.
"We'd like to see [that
number] a little bit under 10
per cent," Knight said. "But
overall that's not too bad."
Councillor Larry McGrath
said, "It keeps getting higher
and higher every year, this
should be telling us
something. It's not just us, it's
people in higher places as
well."

Goodbye to Marilyn

councillors , from each ward
create a priority list of roads
and sidewalks that need work.
"I would like to see this in
the Huron East budget rather
than spending $5 in one ward
and $5 in another," councillor
Joe Sterner said.
MacLellan said that Huron
East is working towards that
goal. "There are deals being
cut back and forth [between
the wards]. One will say that
they won't spend because the
other can't right now."
Seili said he would like to
see a sidewalk put in on
Centennial Drive near the
hospital. "There are lot of
people who take a lot of
walks at noon," he said.
"That's not our fault,"
councillor Sharon McClure
said. "It's the people who
designed it who were
sleeping at the switch."
Seili said council has been
here for six years and "it still
hasn't been done."

A letter from Lavis
Contracting Co. Limited was
sent to council addressing
concerns as to why the
company was not selected for
work in snow removal for the
Seaforth and District
Community Centre.
The tender for Lavis
Contracting was $58.99 per
hour. The other tender was
from VanDriel Excavating
Inc. for $64.50 per hour.
The motion to accept the
tender from VanDriel was
made by the Seaforth District
Community Centre board.
Councillor Alvin McLellan
said he could not stand behind
the decision made by the
board since he wasn't part of
the discussion. "I am not
disagreeing with their
decision, I just can't make a
decision if I wasn't a part of
the discussion," he said.
They returned late Sunday
night so there is no report on
the catch, if they did catch
anything or did they just have
fun in the cold.
Returning from a fantastic
week away were Ron and
Nicole Stevenson. They were
among a group of 280 Pfizer
representatives and bovine
veterinarians from across
Canada, who travelled to
Punta Cana, Dominican
Republic for a conference.
Of course, Ron and the
others had meetings to attend
for part of the day, but the
spouses had plenty of free,
relaxing, soak-up-the-sun-
and-fun time.
Nicole reports not wanting
to return to -10, but says she
will soon adapt to winter
again. Ron reports that there
was plenty to do on the all-
worship service on Jan. 22.
