Times Advocate, 1984-10-10, Page 9Council finds past actions cause current ripples_ The repercussions of two past events were felt at the regular October meeting of Hensall council. In one case, building superintendent Herman Van Wieran informed council he would not issue a building permit for the expansion of Bob Erb's garage unless bylaws passed four years ago dealing with alternate pro- posals for expansion of the property in question be rescinded or amended. Erb has not yet submitted a detailed set of plans or a development agreement for council's approval. Van Wieran was asked to explain the requirements to Erb. The matter will be brought up when council meets in com- mittee later this month. Another topic of discussion was a revised bill of $643.87 submitted by the Hensall PUC to cover adjustments for the period from August 1, ltlm to September 1, 1984. A new meter measuring usage for the town hall, the fire hall and the arena was set with a multiplier of 20 instead of 10, but the mistake was not discovered for two years. Reeve Harry Klungel said it was an honest mistake; the energy had been used. Councillor Dick Packham referred to the time the village was a few hours late m paying a PUC bill, and was penalized more than;100. He felt if Hensall was going to pay the adjustment, the amount of that penalty should first be deducted. Council agreed with Councillor Jim Robinson's suggestion that nothing be done until the finance committee ask the PUC some pertinent questions. Harold Knight dropped in to leave the original video tapes of the Hensall Centennial in the clerk's office for sate - keeping. Copies can be rented from Oscars, and everyone is invited to an evening of view- ing on Monday October 16 at the public school. The Centennial steering committee wants to wind up its existence by year's end, and is asking for suggestions on how to use the 50 percent share of the money generated by service organizations dur- ing the Centennial and turned back to the committee. A sug- gestion box is available in the PUC office. Knight asked for permis- sion to install a free-standing brass plaque com- memorating Hensall's 100 years in front of the town hall. Patty White, a planner with Huron County, gave a preview of the presentation she has prepared for the Hen- sall economic and develo ensall ani# district news ment committee to be given at a public meeting in the Hensall Public School on Oc- tober 29 at 7:30 p.m. The presentation is a summary of the summer's work by the committee and two summer students, one employed in the clerk's office and the other working out of the county of- fice in Goderich. The presentation indentifies Hensall's problems and op- portunities, local interests and resouces, and goals and objectives. Among proposed ways to encourage growth and business were prepara- tion of a pamphlet to be given wide .distributton, a regional promotion in conjunction with neighbouring municipalities and concentration on some specialty like Elora and Strat- ford have done so successfully. Rollie Vanstone was presented with an arena manager's certificate by Reeve Klungel. Works sueprintendent John Baker reported he had made an even trade - a snow bucket worht $595 for the village's old B tractor. A recommendation from the parks board committee that council consider giving village employees a $100 clothing allowance to promote a "staff corporate image" was turned down. Councillor Irene Davis said if the employees want to have uniforms, they may do the same as council members have done, and buy their own. Assistant clerk Kim Marsden, who had been ask- ed to initiate a drinking/driv- r •,. ing prevention committe on council's behalf, reported she had sent letters to govern- ment offices, police depart- ments and local service clubs and organizations. Out of 33 letters to the latter groups, six replies had been received. A meeting with the various representatives has been ar- ranged for November 6. Council did not endorse the resolution originating in • 44411h) i+ jeautt jut piece tel PRESENTATION — Rollie Vanstone (left) Is presented with his arena manager's certificate by Hensall Reeve Harry Klu el. Zurich asking that 'small municipalities be exempted from the cost of environmen- tal studies on landfill sites. Clerk Betty Oke said Hensall had done its studies long before, while grants were still available. She compared the situation to government ac- tion concerning arenas when "they gave about 10 years warning before lowering the boom." Irene Davis said she had been approached by two peo- ple who suggested volunteer leaders who give freely of their time to minor hockey, Scouts, Cubs and Beavers should be thanked by being in- cluded in the village's Christmas party. Other members of council agreed these people did a tremendous job, but so did many other volunteers, and where do you draw the line. Peckham said the Christmas party was for the municipal employees, and Reeve Klungel suggested another way be found for council to acknowledge the volunteers' contribution and show appreciation. The meeting adjourned at 11:35 p.m. Times -Advocate, October 10, 1984 Page 9 - hrtis ri rLt Fran Dowson Microwave Consultant • MICROWAVE COOKING SCHOOL Tickets available now at our store.
