McKillop counc. Ferg Kelly requested the motion be tabled until after the nutrient mangement plan is in place. "I'd like to see it turned down or tabled until we sort out what's going on," said Kelly. Mayor Lin Steffler didn't see the need of adding an extra layer to the committee already putting together the nutrient management plan. Float will be in two parades Huron East staff will be working to revamp the former Seaforth Christmas float to be entered in Seaforth's Santa Claus parade Nov. 30 and Brussel's parade the following day. The current float has a replica of the town hall on it but also bears the name, Seaforth, "To get it ready for the parade wouldn't take a whole lot," said public works manager John Forrest after McKillop counc. Ferg Kelly questioned whether or not they had enough time to represent the new municipality in the parades this year. Resident wants driveway made level after road work A Tuckersmith resident is asking Huron East council to raise his laneway to be level with a newly recontructed stretch of road on Concession 2. "You folks have solved your snowplowing problem but now I have one," said Walter Denys in a presentation to council at its Nov. 6 meeting. The road had been built up to help make plowing the road easier but by being higher now than Denys' laneway, he is concerned that will cause it to fill in with snow instead. Denys had allowed 'the former Tuckersmith Township to take down land in front of his property to help alleviate some trouble with the road filling in with snow because the land on both sides was higher than the road. However, he showed council pictures that show how, because the land was lowered and the road was made higher, the road is now higher than the laneway. Grey counc. Alvin McLellan was concerned if council fixed this problem, how many other people were affected as well. Denys said many were affected by the construction but some have driveways that still slope down to the road anyway. "I think we should discuss it later on," said McKillop counc. Ferg Kelly. Before leaving, Denys reminded council he was nice enough to let them make changes to his property to help accommodate the road and was now hoping they would give him the same consideration. Councillors said they would drive out to see the property and a decision was tabled until the next regular council meeting on Nov. 20. Overnight parking not allowed on streets until spring Huron East council is reminding residents there is no parking on streets in urban areas between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. from now until April 6 to allow for snow removal. Vehicles left overnight on streets will be ticketed and could have their vehicles towed away. It is also against the bylaws to park anywhere that interferes with snow removal or to put snow and ice from driveways onto roadways. Council opposes tax holiday, resolution would help the rich Council is not supporting a resolution from the City of Toronto calling for a tax holiday in Ontario. "You probably only end up helping the rich who can afford to go out and buy a lot," said Deputy Mayor Bernie MacLellan at Huron East council's Nov. 6 meeting. Toronto Mayor Mel Lastman sent a letter to council asking it to support a resolution to withhold provincial and federal taxes on clothing items below $75 and school supplies including Canadian books, below $20 this month and next August. It also requested that retailers be required to provide a further 15 per cent discount on the same items. But MacLellan said low income families cannot afford to take advantage of the tax suspension the same way the wealthy can, by purchasing larger quantities of the discounted items. He said low income families would not be able to take advantage of the discount enough to really be of any benefit. "I feel it will not benefit the people who it is supposed to benefit," said Seaforth coun. Dick Burgess. "Our tax dollars will not benefit the people it should benefit. I will oppose this." Mayor Lin Steffler also took exception to the wording of the resolution that focussed on benefitting Toronto families, not the rest of the province. She also disagreed with the idea of forcing merchants to give an additional 15 per cent. "I don't know if that's fair," she said. "If they don't get it there, they'll get it out of your pockets somewhere else," said Tuckersmith counc. Larry McGrath of the provincial and federal governments.
