~ DELEGATIONS
1) Mr. J.R. Cockburn & Mr. M. Troyan representing the members of the Horseshoe Valley
Property owners serviced by Corrmunal Tile systems presented a proposal to Council
to have Council prepare the necessary By-Laws to oversee the maintenance and the
formation of a capital replacement fund. They suggested the Municipality charge
an administration fee yearly to oversee a yearly inspection of the system, oversee
any repairs that are required and see that individuals have their tanks pumped out
every 36 months. There was a general discussion regarding the Townships concerns
that all costs be borne by the affected ratepayers and that no costs be left for
the general ratepayer. There was also a discussion as to who would pay the legal
fees for the preparation of the necessary By-Law and agreements. The matter was
deferred.
2) Mrs. J~~~$esentoo Council with a petition with 99 names asking Council
to restore the Moonstone Corrmunity Hall rather then tear it down or provide an
alternative. She advised Council that the Moonstone area is growing and need a Hall.
Councillor Hall explained that the Hall requires an estimated 40 to 50 Thousand
Dollars to bring it up to standard and then there would still be no parking. Mrs.
Jensen asked if the School Gymnasium could be made available. Councillor Dalziel
advised he would approach the School Administration to discuss this ]?Ossibility.
3)
Mrs. Linda Hill & Mrs. Barbara _~ approached Council to request a School Bus
turnaround. Council directed the Clerk contact Seeley & Arnill to see if the School
Bus could travel the gravel truck haul route if the owners received the necessary
insurance protection. Council felt this was preferable to having the bus
turnaround and having to maintain a turnaround.
