Following a year-long round of negotia-
tions, the Town of Goderich has reached a
settlement with James and Leslie Rourke,
over a dispute about property boundaries
along Lake Huron.
The town has acknowledged it does not
have a licence of occupation over one sec-
tion of the land in question.
"It was definitely Rourke -owned proper-
ty," explained Town Administrator Larry
McCabe. Basically the town agreed to pur-
chase this portion of the land from the
Rourkes, for $40,000. The Rourkes also
gave up claim to another disputed parcel
of land.
McCabe pointed out the negotiations
with the Rourkes were "never anything
but amicable." After receiving their pay-
ment, the couple made a donation of
$40,000 to the town, for parks and water-
front usage.
The settlement will allow the town to
continue with develoment along the land in
question, including some erosion -control
work.
The town also agreed to construct and
maintain a chain-link fence and plant a
row of trees in the area to reduce noise and
agreed to use its best efforts to reduce,dust
and noise from the roadway. In addition,
the town agreed not to erect or permit to be
erected any buildings or recreational
structures west of the fence.
The settlement "has insured on-going
public access" to the land in question, said
McCabe, adding that "there will also be
some development in the area."
McCabe said the only difference bet-
ween the agreement with the Rourkes, and
agreements between the town and five
other area property owners, is the provi-
sion for the construction of the fence.
The dispute first arose over a year ago,
when the Rourkes filed a Statement of
Claim for all land from the front of their
property to the water's edge.
Police commission approves
PUC use of monitoring system
Police Chief Patrick King will be contac-
ting PUC Manager Evert Middel to discuss
the PUC's request to have the police
department monitor the security and
alarm system for the Water Treatment
Plant and after -hour emergency calls for
the PUC, the police commission decided at
Wednesday's meeting.
The commission recently received a let-
ter from Middel advising them of the
PUC's requirements regarding tapping in-
to the police department's monitoring
system with a view to determining if and
at What cost they could handle the Water
Treatment Plant .security and alarm
system calls, and the PUC after -hour trou-
ble calls during the hours the Water Treat-
ment Plant is unmanned both before and
after completeion of the automation pro-
cess.
Chief King noted the PUC's intended
system was that of a telephone dialing
system which consists of a unit that is pro-
grammed to calm the police or another
number with a recorded message should
something unusual be detected at the
plant, whether of an operational or intru-
sion matter. This type of system allows for
24 hour coverage, seven days a week, he
noted. ,
King also said approval from the four re-
maining municipalities who use the
system was not needed because the phone
call is no different than an ordinary phone
call coming in.
"Many businesses have similiar alarm
systems and there are similiar alarms in
effect all in all of the towns. The police
department has no idea of the number of
people who have alarm system's that call
the police department in the event of a
break-in," King said. He added that the
system does not have to be programmed to
call the police first, but that it can be pro-
grammed to call any series of phone
numbers.
It was noted that the PUC does not
predict much activity with regard to intru-
sions and operational problems once the
plant was fully automated, however, there
are a number of trouble calls at the pre-
sent because the automation process is not
complete.
The commission decided that the PUC
could hook into the police department's
monitoring system, however, the system
should be programmed to call PUC .per-
sonnel. if the problem detected is opera-
tional or the police if it is an intrusion.
Chief King is to contact PUC manager
Evert Middel with the commission's deci-
sion and to hold further discussions with
him concerning cost of the hook-up. He
King will then report his findings to the
police commissioners.
