Will purchase
dispatch radios
The town of Goderich will receive $4,682
to be used for communications equipment
for directing and co-ordinating emergency
response activities. The grant will fund 50
per cent of the cost of two additional por-
table radios for the fire department, the
police department, the works department
and the Public Utilities Commission, ac-
cording to. the town'sco-ordinator for
emergency planning, Police Chief Pat
King.
The radios will bve two channels. One
will be strictly used in the event of disaster
or emergency to permit the four depart-
ments to communicate with each other to
co-ordinate response activities. The other
channel will .be a department operational
channel to permit daily use of the radios.
Under the federalrovincial Joint
Emergency Planning Program (JEPP),
the federal government contributes one
half of the cost of projedts to enhance
municipal emergency response
capabilities, with the municipality paying
for the other half.
Limit location
of carnival rides
Carnival rides, which attract significant
numbers to the downtown area during
Kinsmen Summerfest each July, can only
be located in two sections–from North
Street to West Street or from West Street
to East Street.
An investigation by the Goderich
Kinsmen uncovered this information
which Goderich council concurred with at
its Feb. 10. meeting.
"The Kinsmen are aware of the objec-
tions of some merchants to the Carnival
rides and realize the impossibility of satis-
fying everyone. However, they depend
upon the Summerfest and the Carnival
rides as their major fund raising project in
orderto donate funds towards a variety of
community programs," Ross McDaniel of
the BIA reported to council.
The rides could not be located on
radiating streets because they would in-
terfere with fire routes to the rear of
stores, the Kinsmen said.
They recommended to council that Sum-
merfest rides be located from North Street
to West Street in 1986 and from West Street
to South Street in 1987 and alternate in the
two areas every year.
