Mayor Jerry Taylor cast the deciding vote in favour of the chip truck licence during the regular meeting of coun- cil Monday afternoon after the six councillors were deadlocked over the issue. The vote will allow the owner of the truck to set up operation ona pie of pri- vate property ina C3 comm- ercial zone on the wes side of Water Street across from the lakeside baseball diam- ond in Port Perry. Prior to the vote being taken, councillors Jerry Jackman and Reg Rose questioned whether a chip truck is allowed under the provisions of the by-law gov- erning uses of a C3 zone. "1 have no problem. with allowing this licence, pro- viding it is legal," stated councillor Jackman. "A simple motion from council to grant the licence may not be enough. It may require an amendment to the by-law." By-law enforcement off- icer Robert Kenny, who was present at the meeting, told council that the sale of food in a C3 zone is permitted under by-law. "The question is whether it is premitted from a premises on wheels," he said. The motion put forward by councillors Richard Drew and Don Cresier.tg allow the licience, also contained a Council Briefs SUBSIDY APPROVED After waiting several months, Scugog Township has received approval of an $80,000 subsidy from the provincial government, which will allow the com- plete reconstruction of two bridges in Scugog this summer. The subsidy approval was received last week from the Ministry of Transportation, and will allow the replace- ment of one bridge in Ward 1 across the Nonquon, and a second bridge in Ward 4, about a mile east of North Nestleton. Work is expected to get underway on these bridges early in July. Both have been declared deficient in width and load limit by the provin- cial government. Total cost is estimated at about $160,000 with half this amount coming from the Township roads "department construction budget. } STOP SIGNS Another request has been received to change the signs at the intersection of Bay and Bigelow Streets from yield to stop. Mr. Grant Hunter, who lives near the intersection, told council there have been several accidents there recently, and it is just a matter of time before some- one is seriously hurt. Countil told Mr. Hunter that last year the Ontario Provincial Police studied the traffic problems on the east- west streets in that part of Port Perry and recommend- ed that the yield signs remain. However, the matter was referred to the Roads com- mittee, and the Durham Region Police will be asked to re-assess the situation. Waterfront buildings Ar rom page 3) "before>anything further is done in this area, council should inform the taxpayers as to why it was purchased, and exactly what the future plans are for the property." The letter from Mr. Hall, which was tabled at the meeting of council May 28, states also that "rumours are circulating within the community as to your future plans for this property, and with the tender call for the removal of certain buildings it would appear council has already decided what is going to happen to this pro- perty." The letter prompted a reply from council in the form of a motion which says council is now in the process of deciding on an architect to design a new library building "With the possibility of a municipal office also to be built." The reply to the letter also points out that the Lib- rary Board has approved the location in principal for a new library. Noting the reference to "rumours" in the Chamber letter, the council reply which was prepared by councillors Jerry Jackman and Reg Rose suggests that the Chamber of Commerce "not pay attention to rumours." \ STOUFFVILLE BAKERY \ ROLLS ...

Later in the meeting, the, council passed another mo- tion asking the Township solicitor for a legal interpre- tation of the entire matter. Mayor Taylor said after the meeting that he broke the tie vote in favour of granting the licence because at a meeting of council two weeks ago, the chip truck owner had been led to be- lieve by council that such an operation would be all right in a C3 zone if he had proper health department certif- icates for the truck, and written permission from the owner of the property to park the truck. .Meyor Tayior said that Bryce Garrison, the owner of the truck, followed council's instructions and secured written permission from the owners of the land. Two weeks ago, council had turn- ed down a request from Mr. Garrison for a licence to operate on Township prop- erty near Palmer Park. While breaking the tie vote in favour of granting the licence, Mayor Taylor also said at the meeting that it is time council came up with some kind of a policy dealing with chip truck and other mobile food operations on private property in the Township. Mr. Garrison said outside the council chambers that he will likely be in operation in the Water Street location by the end of this week, and wi be open at least six days a week throughout the summer. Council policy on mobile food trucks has been not to allow them at all on Town- ship property. It is believed there are at least two other chip trucks no operating on private property in Scugog. One in Utica and the other in Caesarea. The annual licence fee for a chip truck in Scugog is $80.00.
