Pre- sent were Ollie Chap-. man, Joe Kennedy, George Ramsay and Bill Houston, who in the absence of the Reeve, chaired the meeting. Mr. E. Paget, Mr. T. Korzinski, Mr. R. Churchley and Mrs. I. Paget appeared before Council to advise of their plans to develop lots 7, 8 and 9 on Simcoe Plaza. They will be building larger quarters for a ~ Jewellery Store, Radio Shack and a Law Of- fice. This advance. no- tice will help the Town- ship to prepare for util- ity connections, side- walks, tree removal, etc. They will make appli- cation for a building per- mit at a later date. The Curling Club lease was discussed and the rental fee was set at $6,000, an increase of less than 4 per cent. Mr. S. Chalmers of Kimberly Clark and rep- - resentatives of the Aquasabon Golf Club came to the council meeting to discuss the possibility of the muni- cipality assuming the ownership of the golf course. Mr. Chalmers was disappointed that Council was ill-prepared for the discussion but re- ceived assurance that the matter would be dis- cussed in committee and another meeting called. 'Rod and Randy Mer- cure sought a solution to the problem of obtain- ing the use of a gravel pit. Because of a map- ping discrepancy with Ministry of Natural Re- sources maps and the proximity of a sewage tailings dump site, the... Mercures must move 100 feet to a different area which must be re- zoned. The rezoning process with notices and hearings takes 65 days - minimum and during that time the land must not be used for gravel purposes even though they have a license to cut trees as well as a gravel permit issued by the Ministry of Natural Resources. Council of- fered to seek a short term source of gravel for the contractors. (This was accomplished the next day with the co- operation of the Town- ship of Schreiber and the Ministry of Natural - Resources.) New Business and Correspondence were handled through reso- lutions as follows. The Clerk Co-ordinator and members of Council wishing to do so were authorized to attend the Northwestern Ontario Planning Conference in Kenora, September 13 and 14 at the expense of the municipality. Council is requesting the Ministry of Trans- | portation and Commun- ication to carry out the painting of centre lines and crosswalks. Reimbursement of po- lice training costs to, . Constable R. Phillips was approved. The R. Corazza Lim- ited tender for replace- ment and construction of curbing was accepted in the amount of $26,762.35. It was the lowest tender and the company's previous work for the Township has been satisfactory. The Statement of Dis- bursements for the Township in the amount of $704,726.05 was. dis- cussed and approved. The Hydro Statement of Disbursements was approved in the amount of $69,501.53. The municipality was authorized to enter into an agreement regarding the purchase and sale of aviation fuel at the Ter- race Bay Airport. Councillor Champan reported that $12,185 was returned to the Township from various fund raising activities during the 25th Anni- versary. This will help lessen the amount which the Township must pay for the celebration. The cemetery plaque has been ordered and delivery is expected at the end of August. Councillor Ramsay reported that Police bus- iness had been routine with no accidents or fa- talities. Two hundred appli- cations were submitted for the position of police constable for the Town- ship. Eight people were interviewed and the de- cision will be announced , soon. Councillor Kennedy reported that the Senior Citizens' party was highly successful and incurred, minimai costs. The access road to the airport runway was dug out but apparently 4- wheel drive vehicles are still able to drive over it, therefore it must be dug out again. Also, there is one crack in the runway. Councillor reporting on the fact that a recent audit showed a surplus of funds advised that the reason for the increase in the Hydro revenues Houston, - was the fact that Terrace Bay had experienced a ~ harsh winter not a pre- cipitous rise in rates. He - was concerned about the fact that $68,000 was budgeted for Capital work and only $4,000 has been spent. If the work is not done this year, there could be a shortage of power in the industrial area. In the hopes of convincing Hy- dro that the work is-a priority, Bill will travel to Thunder Bay to meet with Hydro Officials. It was decided by Council that a commit- tee will be formed to look into the feasibility of developing the Aqua- sabon Gorge and water- front area. There was a sugges- tion that the Police Sta- tion could be moved to the space to be vacated on Simcoe Plaza. A request for a "no parking"' zone at the top of Kenogami was made, as a solution to lessen the danger now present when cars park on that corner. The Council Meeting was adjourned following. a round of applause for Councillor Ollie Chap- man's efforts as chair- man of the 25th Anni- versary Committee. Public Library TERRACE BAY, ONT.
