Times-Advocate, 1985-02-13, Page 12Page 12 Times -Advocate, February 13, 1985 Garbage collection discussed Council approves new restaurant Hensall will get a new, fast-food restaurant by the first of May if all goes according to plan. Don Allen met ' with members of Hensall council at a special meeting called by Reeve Harry Klungel on January 28 to pre- sent a site plan for lots 201 and 202. Allen proposes adding a 1,340 square foot restaurant with seating capaci- ty for 40 customers to the existing house at the southwest corner of the intersection of Highways 4 and 84. The house will be converted into an upper and lower apartment. Council approved the plan. Allen has applied for MTC approval for ac- cess onto Highway 4. When that is ob- tained, he will follow through with his option to purchase the property. Gerry Willert attended the regular February session of council to discuss starting a garbage pick-up business once a week in the village. Reeve Klungel said this is a free enterprise world. He suggested Willert try to reach some agreement with the pre- sent garbage collector, Glen Nixon, or get enough households signed up to make the business worthwhile. Willert said he intends tQ "canvass the town" for customers. He will con- tinue with his present full-time employment at Thompson's mill, and figures he could pick up garbage in the entire village in a four-hour period from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Willert wanted assurance from council that they would not take over garbage collection in the future. Klungel said no such guarantee could - be given, as this council could not commit future councils to a specific course of action such as that. He said he was sure if Willert did start the business and sometime Hensall decid- ed to.take control, he would be given • first opportunity to tender for it. Works superintendent John Baker said regardless of who collects gar- bage, some necessary changes must be made in the near future. He said garbage will have to be sorted, giving as an example an old wooden exten- sion ladder at the dum • de ' s sited with garbage to be buried when it could more easily have been burned. Sheelagh Lawrance, community relations route and site selection representative of Ontario Hydro, at- tended the council meeting to bring councillors up to date on Hydro's study of the best way to bring power from the Bruce plant to London. She displayed a map outlining potential corridors within a broad vertical swath encompassing Ripley, Wingham, Clinton, Exeter, Ilderton, Strathroy and Shedden. Councillor Jim Robinson asked about the effect a 500 Kv line would have on TV signals, specifically the two satellite dishes supplying cable TV to Hensall. Lawrance said it was unlikely the line would go along the highway. One - day information centres are being set up she said, and all within the affected area are invited to come and study the proposed alternate routes, and ex- press their opinions. These will be taken into consideration when Hydro makes its evaluations and recommen- dations based on environmental, technical and cost factors. A centre will be set up in the Exeter rec centre on March 12. Building inspector Herman Van, Wieren asked for and received a five percent increase in his monthly sti- pend, raising it to $162.75. He will figure out the number of hours he works as a parking bylaw enforce- ment officer and then discuss with council fair remuneration for that job. To mark Seniors Month in March, Hensall seniors will be given free use of the community centre one day a week during March to see how many are interested in indoor shuffleboard. If enough are, Klungel said the village may purchase equipment. A report from the Hensall parks board shows a deficit at the end of 1984 of $24,195. Councillor Dick Packham reported he has obtained bylaws on operating waste disposal sites from other municipalities to assist Hensall in drawing up a streamlined bylaw for the village's dump site. The matter will be dealt with at a committee meeting. The - PUC collection charge on sewage billing has risen from 68 cents to 74 cents. Klungel called a special meeting on February 5 to discuss community emergency planning. A committee was formed, composed of the follow- ing department heads: the reeve as head of council, police department, fire department, PUC, public works and health and social services. Coun- cillor Packham will be emergency planning coordinator. The first meeting will be in May, giving each department head an op- portunity to 'develop an emergency plan for the service he or she represents. Carol Goudie will coordinate the Heart Fund canvass in.Hensall. Council adjourned at 10:15 p.m. 14 4 WORKING IN FRENCH — Huron County board of education's French co-ordinator Damian Solomon checks Stephen Central student Jeff Sweitzer's work, part of a three-day French immersion workshop held at Hensall Public School.
