Times-Advocate, 1988-06-15, Page 10Page 10 Times -Advocate, June 15, 1988 Court case causing spending constraints GRAND BEND - The impending legal costs of determining who owns the beach at Grand Bend were never far from Reeve Harold Green's mind during the regular June 7 ses- sion of council. A request from the village Cham- ber of Commerce for a S200 dona- tion to the cost of the Canada Day fireworks display touched off a mini -sparkler. Green originally spoke against the request, as the display is spon- sored, and "with S100,000 in law- yers' . fees corning up, we're strapped" Councillor Bruce Woodlcy argued in support of a donation. The contribution will be made,. using $200 in unappropriated funds from the rcc budget. The display, which draws thou- sands to the beach each year, was formerly sponsored by the now de- funct Burgerfest. , Nick and Jean Carter have promised to make up any shortfall in the campaign raise funds to pay for this year's event; if more than enough money comes - in, the extra will be put in a spe- cial•fireworks fund for next year. Council also approved an expen- diture not to exceed S3,000 to ex tend the underwater section of the launch ramps. When Woodlcy wanted to know where the money would come .from, Green replied that the repairs must be made, as the. municipality could possibly. be held liable for doge if repairs were not made. The reeve raised the possibility of a substantial increase in the charge to use .the rtunps next year. Want construction -delayed GRAND BEND - The Grand 13cnd Chamber of Commcrcc has sent a letter to the municipal office re- questing that all major construction on Main St. be delayed until after Labour Day. Merchants are worried that heavy truck traffic would disrupt the traffic flow and impede access to the beach. Blowing dust would be another irri- tant Councillor Marsha Lemon said a petition to that effect is currently. circulating among.. the merchants, who do not all belong to the Cham- ber, and will be presented to coun- cil. She also raised the point that building owners and renters might have differing opinions. A meeting will be arranged among the C of C executive, council repre- sentatives and Devlon president James Vevey to discuss the con- struction schedule. Council will try to. arrange am public meeting later the sae evening (tentatively scheduled for Friday, June 24) to deal with com- plaints about the change from the original location of.a walkway in the Hovey beach.project. ' . • A letter was received from the • Grand Bend Yacht Club; asking if there was a future possibility the Club could use an old building on the river if development forced the relocation • of their clubhouse. • Council promised to have some- one speak to the -present lessee about his plans after his Icasc ex- pires in March 1989. .
