GRAND BEND. - At their last regular meeting last Tuesday, out- going council rescinded controver- sial bylaw 2149 of 1988, that was passed at the November 1 meeting. The bylaw, which established rates of pay for various permanent staff -in the village; became a heated issue after the November 1 meeting. At the time the bylaw was being voted upon by council, councilor Bruce Woodley said he requested a recorded vote,,a request that was de- nied and Woodley abstained from the vote. After the meeting, the bylaw, al- though passed, was not signed by reeve Harold Green, because he said he wanted to check into the legality of setting wages so close to an elec- tion with the ministry of municipal affairs. Woodley later tried. to obtain a copy of the bylaw an attempt that proved to be unsuccessful, because Woodley said municipal office staff, were instructed. by Green not to give him a copy of the bylaw. Green felt incident this would turn out to an election issue, but it worked out in favor of Woodley, since he was re- elected with the most votes for councilor. - At the meeting last Tuesday, Woodley objected that -the minutes from the November 1 meeting did not reflect his request for a recorded vote and Green still insisted that it Parkhill.
