not be possible to attend any Committee of Council meeting held in the evening on
Wednesdays, since he is teaching a course each Wednesday evening for the rest of the
summer.
Fire Chief Ron Young was present at 7:15 p.m. Reeve explained that the purpose of request for
him to attend this meeting, was to discuss matter of the proposal for a full time Fire Chief.
Reeve turned this portion of the meeting over to Councillor Thelma Halfacre, Chairperson of Fire
Committee, who asked a number of questions of the Fire Chief. Some of the questions were as follow-
up of the Fire Officer's Meeting.
Ron Young in response to proposal of full time Fire Chief, suggested that in his opinion that this
should not be fully considered until the Fire Marshal's Fire Survey Report of the Township has
been completed.
Ron Young suggested that it possibly should be considered over a period of time and probably could
be looked at in the next year or two and suggested that certain items of Fire Chief and Deputy
Fire Chief should be resolved before such full time position of Fire Chief is established.
Reeve Davie indicated it is possible that the Ministry of the Solicitor General and/or the Fire
Marshal's Office may make the recommendation for a full time Fire Chief.
Ron Young next reported on the problem of the water system at Quadrant Development.
