Semple elected to council vacancy
Keith Semple was elected to fill
the vacancy left on Zurich council
when Ken Fenwick resigned. The
nine-year Zurich resident, a techni-
cian with the Hay,Municipal Tele-
phone System, said he considers
his election a challenging opportu-
nity to make a contribution to his
community. .
Dwayne La Porte had also re-
sponded to the newspaper ad asking
Zurich citizens if they would apply
to serve out Fenwick's term.
Reeve Bob Fisher said he was glad
both Semple and La Porte had
shown their willingness to serve
on council, and expressed the hope
La Porte will run in the November
municipal election.
Extended services office
Cpl. AI Quinn from the Exeter
OPP detachment attended the regu-
lar March meeting to explain what
would be involved in opening an
extended services office in the vil-
lage.
The host municipality would
supply a room where privacy
would be assured, a telephone, desk
and chairs and a filing cabinet.
The OPP would provide an official
sign for the outside of the build-
ing, and pay for any long-distance
calls.
Thc office would only be open
whcn a police officer was in town,
and all files would be taken to the
main OPP office.
Quinn told councillors an appli-
cation for such a service could be
made -at any time. He suggested
Zurich wait and see how thc ar-
rangement was working out in Bay -
field.
Development
A motion passed at the March
meeting of the Zurich water and hy-
dro system was approved by the full
council. The rate to provide hydro.
by underground installation per lot
for nevi: subdivisions and newly de-
veloped lots was increased from.
5300: to $475 per lot, and frontage
charges were increased from S3 to
S4.50.
Committee chairman Herb Turk -
beim said the rate had not changed
for years, and S475 barely -covered
the costs of servicing a lot. - -
Council reviewed and updated the
village's subdivision agreement. As
Zurich has excess capacity in its
sewage system, councillors agreed
to waive the $200 impost fee to en-
courage development.
Thc lapsed time period for regis-
tering six lots in the Mothgack sub-
division that were severed but not
registered two years ago was dis-
cussed. Thc county has said the
process must begin all over again,
but Zurich councillors will ask for
permission to waive the S250 fee
for sitting as committee of adjust-
ment on the matter.
Ron Heimrich attended the meet-
ing to find out what procedures are
necessary to divide his building in
half, with thc store occupying the
front, and the rest made into a one -
bedroom apartment through the con-
vert -to -rent program., He was told
to submit his plan, and apply for a
minor variance which will be grant-
ed by the committee of adjustment
as council has no objections.
Dog control
Council decided to renew the con-
tract with dog control officer Dave
Groot at a new rate of S50 per
month plus S8 per dog picked up.
He will be paid. 22c per km, the
same milcagc.rate as others on mu-
nicipal business.
Last. year Groot was paid S5(X),
and S408 in dog tag fees were col-
lected. Councillor Ray McKinnon
said that before Groot was hired, he
would often see garbage strewn all.
over on his way to work, and now
there was none.
"If we cando this for about 5100
a year, I'm for it", he added.
Street lighting
Lorne Gingcrich's request for a
light on the pole in front of his
home was turned down. A survey
by PUC manager Charlie Eckel and
PUC chairman Herb Turkheim had
shown that the arca in question was
well lighted, with no trees to affect
illumination. Turkhcim said the
village can't afford to put a light on
every pole.
Other business
A request to canvass Zurich on
behalf of the Scott family's mission
to Poland was granted.
Turkhcim and McKinnon were
given the responsibility of organiz-
ing something for Seniors Week in
June.
