All councillors and the Reeve were in attendance. Minutes were adopt- ed as read from the regular meeting of Dec. 12/83 and from a special meeting of Dec. 19/83. Mr. Gabe Fritzen from Ontario Hydro in Thunder Bay met with Council to discuss the proposed rate increas- es for the township of Terrace Bay. Various options were made available to Council con- cerning rates and in- creases, and a decision will be made during the next council meeting. Correspondence The Attorney-Gen- eral and the President of A.M.O. (Assoc. of the Municipalities of On- tario) requested that Council attempt to es- tablish a drinking and driving committee for the town of Terrace Bay. The committee's man- date will be to obtain facts and figures on the severity of the prob- lem as it relates to the town and its people and to make recommenda- tions to Council con- cerning their findings. Council has agreed to approach the residents of Terrace Bay for their help in this matter. A letter of complaint was received by Coun- cil concerning dogs running at large within the town limit. Other councillors have also re- ceived various com- plaints about dogs run- ning at large; measures will be made to deal with this problem more ex- tensively. The Recreation Di- rector, Terry Bryson, re- quested that Council authorize the hiring of a bus to transport parti- cipants from the Thun- der Bay airport to the town of Terrace Bay for an upcoming hockey tournament between Arnprior and Terrace Bay. Council aiso agreed to provide one meal for them at the township's expense. Council was in full support of this pro- posal. Ontario Hydro ad- vised that they will ac- cept the boundaries for the Hydro service area which will involve a smaller area, than the township's boundaries. This in turn means that the costs for upgrading the feeder line will be Hydro's responsibili- ties. The Attorney-Gen- eral in a letter, advised Council that at this time, no appointment: of a Justice of the Peace will be made for Terrace Bay. Council will keep in contact with the Attor- ney-General on this matter, in hopes that this decision will be re- versed in the future. New Business Due vo the fact that there will be Committee and Board vacancies coming up, Council look- ed into the areas where these vacancies will be available. Advertise- ments will be published in the "NEWS"' for any- one interested in sitting on the Boards concern- ed. Much discussion was given pertaining to the subject of acquiring a computer for the town- ship office. If Coun- cil acts quickly, there will be a grant of $20,000 obtainable for the purchasing of this equipment. Council could not reach a deci- sion on this matter as budgets have not yet been prepared and they have no idea of what capital expenditures will be issued for the 1984 fiscal year. Councillor Chapman expressed concerned over other major expenditures needed, such as a new grader for the town and a better equipped fire truck (to enable fire fighters to reach prob- lem areas (i.e.) rear upper floors of Birch- wood Terrace and the apartments). Once the budgets are submitted to Council, they will 'have a better idea of where the money should be spent. Motions and Notices of Motions By-Law No. 1-84 be- ing a by-law regarding interest and penalties on unpaid taxes was given first, second and third reading. Interest will continue to be in the amount of 1.1 per cent monthly or 13.2 per cent yearly. By-Law No. 3-84 be- ing a bylaw listing all of the association member- ships that are support- ed by the township of Terrace Bay, will be up- dated, amended and passed. Disbursements for the month of December were as_ follows: Township - $473,410.18; Hydro - $96,140.38. For January/84: Township - $7,139.19; Hydro - $3,661.00.
