Roth councillor Bill Baird and Reeve; Bob Sharer ex- pressed ()Onions that a penalty clause he inserted into the contract to ensure that construction in these .oras was rutnpleted before the Ing \Lis weekend. Ramsdrrat said he- could see little purpose in having such a . clause included.

The approval is subject to th -teen conditions being lied up to. among those that it will be a single family development. tive percent of the total land area be set aside f r• park use or that an alternative agreement he worked out with Stephen and water and sewer services be ()blamed from the municipality. Tbe. provision of services -has turned out to be a bone of comentmn with Grand Bend accusing Stephen of failing to act on. the matter - Acknowledging the numerous differences of opinion which have cropped up between the township and Grand..Bend recently.. -Reeve Bob Sharen said "We're tired of getting -used (by (.'•Stephen (.

Bend supply the services and allow the �rllage to collect -the costs incurred in .ser- vicing .the subdivision. • Ramsdend replied that he couldn't speak on behalf of the ministry of housing but suggested that Grand Bend could request Stephen to collect the subdivision fees them or that an4 agreeinent between the individual property owners nn the subdivision and the village could he signed. .He said that the ministry Of -the envifotlment would be upset if Grand Bend chose .not to service the -subdivision . abut they would not expect the village to service the - development for nothing.. Counci4 will seek a meeting with Thames Valley Recycling oL London to discuss the'passibility of the firm picking 'up 'newspaper and glass in the community.. Sharen Said the firm would'' tie operational in Exeter and thought that it had potential for the resort. The reeve felt it could reduce Grand Bend's garbage costs and wouId snake for a longer life of the sanitary landfill site. Councillor Bill Baird agreed with the second point but questioned whether much -money could be saved in the first year of operation. He said the people would have to 6e educated in separating their refuse. -• Sharen suggested" that if the firm did come to Grand Bend. the usefulness of the service could be evaluated after six months. in other business. council: Authorized the village foreman Gary Desjardine to check in to prices on a new iiltFtid3�7" e • divisi UNDEFEATED CHAMPIONS •.,cited 78 • -"`•Ali `iii► ;,► !. . �..:-' : .

When questioned by council why there were four separate contracts Ram- sdend replied that the ministry could gel a better overall price by tendering -individually rather than tendering for the complete u►slallation. Estimated cost of the project is between $3.1 and SIS million with the ministry paying $2 million. The village will be responsible - for 25 percent of the cost. Sharen said'fater. The tendering procedure tor the first phases .01 the work could be 'delayed somewhat unless three easements from property Mwners in the Gibbs sub- division are obtained, said -Ewing. • Ramstend told council that a completion date for the project has not -been set but that it will be one of items iIleluded in the tender. He did say that the portion of the system north of the river could start operation independent of the system south of the river once the lagoons and pumping stations are constructed. -•ion an interview later.
