Times-Advocate, 1988-11-09, Page 31Candidates attend last Lucan meeting LUCA 1 - LastipTueday council held a last meeting before the mu- nicipal election and the six candi- dates vying for councillor's seats were all present. ' Reeve Norm Steeper invited the candidates to spark, but first offered some words of praise for the coun-- cil of the last three years. Steeper, acclaimed for the next term, said council had been con- fronted with deciding the future of Lucan at a critical time. "I think it's to your credit you dealt with the issues and did not back' off when the decisions were difficult or unpopular," said Steep- er. All three councilloraid they were prepared for the challenges of seeking re-election. Bob Hodge said he had few regrets about .the past term. "1 think council has attempted and accomplished a lot for the good of the village," he observed. - Larry Hotson, a former council- lor, said he was pleased to be run- ning once more. Tom McLaughlin explained he was not running because of any dis- satisfaction with the current 'coun- cillors. "I have no particular axe to grind, I'm just interested in politics and glad to bc running." Don Edwards was also present and spoke of his pleasure at joining the electoral race. Wraith presented a five-year capi- tal works plan to council. The re- port was prepared by village engi- neer Don Pletch and lists a schedule of projects and their „estimated costs, such as the future reconstruc- tion of Butler and Stanley Streets. "I think the MTC likes to see this kind of thing and know where the money is going," said council- lor Bryan Smith. The council decided to leave ap- proval of the plan Until after the election. • Town solicitor Robert Benner told council of the current progress on the SIO million sewage and wa- ter projects. • "We arc, at this point, absolutely nowhere, to be blunt," stated. Ben- ner. He. pointed to three problems which prevent Ontario Municipal Board approval of the projects at this time. •Amending legislation for such projects is still awaiting provincial attention, but Benner said M.P.P. Doug Reycraft has suggested a pri- vate member's bill for the Lucan projects could be passed within a month. In addition, Benner said there is .no ministry of the environment cer- tificate of approval for either the water or the sewage. "We're waiting for the ministry of the environment on both of them," said Benner, adding that all applica- QUEEN's SEAFORTH THURS., FRI. & SAT.

Benner also recommended council pass sewer'and water rate bylaws, or at least give them first and second readings, to show commitment to the OMB. Council read bylaws to set sewer taxes at S309.67 per year and water at S249.17 per year. Both arc cal- culated on a 10 -year period at 12 percent interest. "The point of the fact is all these figures may change anyway," noted Steeper, saying the final bylaws could not be passed until final cost -figures were confirmed. Steeper also wondered how apart- ment building owners should be• charged for water and sewage, sug- gesting if rates were calculated on a per unit basis the viability of present and future apartment space in Lucan could be crippled. "I think it's an area we will have to look at because of the impact on some people," said Steeper, adding that rent increases of four percent would not cover increased costs. Clerk Ed Melanson said the min- istry of municipal affairs has been recommending apartment units be treated the same as houses in regard to sewage and water rates. Bylaw enforcement officer and building official Karl MacNaughton has resigned after eight years of vil- lage service. His duties will bc covered by the clerk until a replace- ment can be hired. MacNaughton is moving to Walton to open a ho- tel. At an in camera session after the open council meeting Wraith, act- ing as a private citizen, commended the work of the Horticultural Socie- ty and councillor Hodge for plant- ing trees in the village. Wraith hoped more ratepayers would be- come involved in such a program and presented S50 cheques to both Hodge and the Society.
