ROSS AND ASSOCIATES LIMITED Engineers and Planners 62 North Street Goderich, ON N7A 2T4 Phone: (519) 524-2641 Fax: (519) 524-4403 www.bmross.net NH considering new draft licensing bylaw By Denny Scott The Citizen North Huron Council is considering changing the way it charges temporary vendors who operate within the community. A draft licensing bylaw, also known as a "hawkers and peddlers" bylaw, will be brought to North Huron Township Council during its next meeting on March 19. After a review by Deputy- Clerk/Director of Corporate Services Richard Al presented at council's March 5 meeting, a new bylaw will be crafted and brought back to council to address several perceived deficiencies in the existing document. Al noted that the existing bylaw, which operates on a per -vendor, per - event schedule, doesn't explain costs well, leaving questions about how to handle multiple -day events, events with multiple vendors or vendors who return for several events. He suggested crafting a new bylaw including significant changes. Changes include the implementation of an annual licence ($300) and a daily licence ($250), which would be different from the existing "event" licence. A multi- vendor licence would also be available for large events for $400. Al also pointed to the lack of a fine structure as a problem as, without one approved by a judge, the bylaw couldn't dictate fines against vendors who aren't following the rules. Fines suggested include a $350 fine for offences related to the per - day licence, $450 fine for offences related to the annual licence and $500 for fines related to the multi- vendor licence. The suggestions will be made part of the consolidated fee and charges bylaw North Huron has implemented to limit the amount of times individual bylaws are modified. Councillor Brock Vodden was concerned that garage sales may be impacted if ratepayers needed to apply for such events. Al pointed out that, in the early draft in council's agenda, garage sales were addressed, as were small ventures like lemonade stands. "We tried to think of as many situations as possible," he said. "Sales that take place on an individual's own property would be exempt from the bylaw." Councillor Bill Knott wanted to make sure that people couldn't hold garage sales that lasted beyond a reasonable time frame, saying he could see people having items for sale on their property for months at a time. Director of Recreation and Facilities Pat Newson said such an activity would change the use of a property, if it were residential, and would be handle through the zoning or property standards bylaws, not the new licensing bylaw. Knott still felt uneasy about the situation, asking to make sure garage sales were outlined in the municipality's property standards or zoning bylaws. The licensing bylaw will be considered at council's March 19 meeting. McNeil says US producers want guidelines Continued from page 13 not the problem. American producers are the problem because they keep producing milk without a market" Under the supply management system in Canada, milk production is regulated to meet the country's dairy needs. As to the future of Ontario dairy producers, McNeil said a new plant is being constructed in Kingston to produce powdered milk which will be sent to China to create baby formula. The leftover butterfat will stay in Canada. It's a win/win said McNeil. "It's expected to be operation in 2020 and we expect there will be a high demand for dairy and goat milk," said McNeil. He said Huron County milk producers are also very fortunate to have a company like Gay Lea, which recently invested millions in upgrading their Teeswater plant, supporting them. Locally, McNeil said Huron County milk producers have been very active at local parades and support county food banks with donations. "Don't stop handing out those chocolate milks," laughed MPP Lisa Thompson. "That is such a great initiative and kids need to know their healthiest drink is milk." She commended Huron County producers for leading by example, including the egg farmers, which were represented by Brian Miller. He said the market has continued to grow dramatically for shell eggs in Canada. Consumption for regular white eggs is up 6.5 per cent. There aren't enough hens in Ontario to supply the market. "With consumer demand constantly growing, having enough layers in our barns is the challenge," stated Miller in his report. "To cover the shortfall in supply, Ontario graders end up importing huge quantities of eggs from the U.S" This is a lost opportunity in terms of production, jobs and economic impact, he said.
