The meeting was called to prepare the 1984 Public Works Budget. The Clerk noted
that the provincial subsidy rate had decreased from 69.2/0 in 1983 to 67.07"10 in 1984
and that for Council to spend the allocation of $659,000. subsidy dollars would mean
an expenditure of $217,300 tax dollars, vtlich is an increase of $35,600. over 1983.
Present
r,mmcil decided to use all of the funds allocated for the year 1984 and met with
E. Robertson, the Township Roads Superintendent and set a tentative 1984 budget.

Council directed the budget be finalized and presented to the March 13th Council
Meeting.
CDuncillor Patterson then brought the matter of the closure of the Orillia Hydro
Office before Council. She expressed concern that having a portion of the Township
which is presently covered from the Orillia Office covered by the Barrie Office
would have decreased service due to the longer travelling distances involved and
that this could create serious problems in life and death situations.

" That this Council strongly objects to the plans of Ontario Hydro to close the
Orillia Office and Service Centre which will cause a portion of the Township
to be serviced by Barrie which will result in a decrease in service and increase
the time to respond to emergency situations to the affected areas;
And Council directs the Clerk notify Ontario Hydro and Mr. A. McLean, M.P.P.
of this objection".
