A great amount of time was spent by individuals, and the Elgin Manor committee of management over the past three years in meeting with Government officials, to keep this project alive. That this is now in the process of final planning, with construction to start in the spring of 1975 is a matter of personal satisfaction to me, in being a member of the Elgin Manor board of Management during this time. Various programmes for the benefit of the area Senior citizens are being carried out under the management of the Elgin Manor Administration. The future establishment of a Municipal Home for the Aged for those requiring complete bed care should be considered, so that the same excellent level of County Home care at the residential level could be continued to serve those who need it most - those who require complete bed care. Members of County Council, Ladies and Gentlemen. On behalf of the Village of Rodney, and myself as Reeve, I wish to convey to you my most sincere thanks for being elected Warden of Elgin Cou nty. for 1975. In being so honoured, and acknowledging the responsibilities of this office, it is my intention to carry out the duties of the office to the very best of my ability, for the benefit of the County and its residents. I would, at this time like to extend to past Warden Ron. Lake for his devotion to the duties of his office, our thanks for his leadership and guidance for the past year of 1974. His continuance on County Council ensures that his capabilities will assist us during this coming year. Weare gratified at the presence of the former Wardens, Councillors, and guests who are with us to-day . Your presence reflects your interest in Municipal politics both at the County and local levels. The Restructuring Study for Elgin County will require approximately eight months to complete, and during this time meetings will be held with groups of municipal councile, County Council, and public meetings to have as wide participation both by elected representatives, and the public as possible. Briefs by aH interested. groups should be prepared for consideration at these meetings so that as much information as possible will be available on this very important subject. Two years of meetings between the County St. Thomas and the Provincial Government in which Elgin County and the City of St. Thomas have stated their preference to stay together as a governing unit have resulted in the Restructuring Study being proposed, and the meetings will commence early in 1975. Future development must be considered in relation to our very favourable quality of life in Elgin County, to keep as much good farm land in production as possible, preservation of our recreation areas, and the balance of City, Town. and Villages, where industry may locate, and provide residential accommodation for people moving in to the area. An election year always produces some changes. Many good men have left, for various reasons. but are replaced by those who have in equal measure the best interest of their municipalities, and the County at heart. Past Warden and Reeve of Aldborough Township. Nelson Johnston D.K. McKillop of Dunwich. B.A. Lyle of Southwold. J.L. Dennis of Bayham, A.T. Miskelly of Aylmer. C.W. Bates of Port Burwell, and Deputy Reeves C.S. Young of Yarmouth, and W.R. Whalls of Port Stanley, served their municipalities and the County well during their terms of office. They gave freely of their time and talents to municipal politics, and did their jobs well. I knew, and admired them all. Reeve R. Bradfield, and Deputy Reeves K. Kelley, J.W. Campbell, K. McLean. R. Ferguson. R. Green, S. Glover. and H. Rayner. are new comers to County Council. We welcome them, and know that they will represent their municipalities, and the County in the same capable manner as those who have gone before them. The year 1975 will see a start in the building of the new Elgin County A solid waste managment study is being carried out between County of Middlesex, County of Elgin as Observers only, City of St. Thomas, City of London, and the Ministry of the Environment. A provincial program is being developed to provide facilities for the reclamation of solid waste materials, in three five year stages, which will hopefully eliminate the need for land fill sites, and add through reclamation to our stock of metals, glass. and paper. to name a few. New industries may need to be developed to refine waste reclaimed products to usable materials, and then to finished products for consumer use. We can only hope that this We appreciate the continuing efforts of oLlr County Officials, Heads of Departments, and County employees, in their work to keep the day to day business of the County running smoothly. 32 ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL program will be successful and the cost not more than municipalities can bear. Many problems already face us for 1975, in the area of unemployment, recessionary trends, coupled with inflation, and rising ~ prices. An example must be set by governments of all levels to keep taxation in line with incomes of people in all walks of life. - I wish to thank you for electing me your warden, and call on all members of the Elgin County Council for your help and guidance to make 1975 a very good year for all of us.

This compares with a Subsidy Allocation of $1,123,000 in 1974. The Subsidy allocation and Spending Levels have been increased because of the incrased Construction and Maintenance Needs on the County Road System as indicated by the 1974 Study Update, WE RECOMMEND: I.

These figures are for the period Jan. 1, 1975 to October 31,1975 I am pleased to eonfirm that during 1975 we have participated in a new programme which was recommended by the Senior Citizens' Bureau in Toronto to operate Satellite Homes to assist us with our long waiting lists, and at the same time, be able to place Senior Citizens in the area in which they have resided rather than moving them out of the community in which they lived, into Homes for the Aged which are several miles away from their original residence, We are now operating a Satellite Home at Fingal, which will house 14 Senior citizens and at the present time, we have placed nine senior citizens in this type of setting, We also operate a Satellite Home at Port Bruce, which again, is large enough to hold 14 senior citizens. At the present time we have placed six senior citizens in this setting. These two homes are operated and subsidized by the County of Elgin and the Province of Ontario and the policies operating these Homes are governed by the Committee of Management of Elgin Manor. We have found that by operating these types of facilities we are able to accommodate a number of senior citizens who were on the waiting list for Elgin Manor, and have now found living in this type of setting very beneficial to them. We bring these residents into the Home three days week for recreation and entertainment and to join in our craft programmes, and then we return them in the evening. Weare very fortunate in finding these two Homes to come under our care as they both operate on a 24-hour day basis with nursing care available. Weare still operating our Private Home Care programme and at present time, we have two residents in this type of programme, where they are living in a house as part of the family environment. This report is respectfully submitted. F. J, Boyes, Administrator.

Liebner, Warden 304 ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD COMMITTEE REPORT FIRST REPORT - DECEMBER SESSION, 1975 To The Warden and Members of The Elgin County Council. Your Road Committee reports as follows: 1. Most construction work has been substantially completed for the Winter. IRoad 8 In Dutton has been opened although all curb and gutter work was not completed. The delay in the completion of this work was caused the several months delay in the award by the Ministry of the Environment of the Sanitary Contract from the time originally planned by the Ministry of the En vimnment. WE nECOMMEND That a By-Law be passed limiting the period of parking in front of the Port Burwell Post Office on County Road 42 to a 15 minute period at any one time. ALL of which is respectfully submitted, M. A. Schafer, Chairman. ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL 305 ROAD COMMITTEE REPORT SECOND REPORT - DECEMBER SESSION, 1975 REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON SOLID WASTE To The Warden and Members of Elgin County Council. Your Committee on Solid Waste Reports as Follows: In the past few months your Committee on Solid Waste has extensively inquired into the problems of Solid Waste in the County of Elgin. Numerous Committee meetings have been held and the Warden, Chairman and the Engineer have attended many more including various Technical and Steering Committee meetings of the London Area Solid Waste Study. The purpose of the London Area Solid Waste Study (which includes the Counties of Middlesex and Elgin and the Cities of London and St. Thomas) is to develop a master plan for the Disposal of Solid Wast~ for the area for the next 20 years. The Consultants, James F. MacLaren Limited are just completing a draft report of their findings. Among their findings are: 1. That solid waste (garbage) from rural residents is approximately two (2) lbs. per person per day or approximately .365 tons per year. This is considerably below the amount that your Committee were lead initially to believe was generated by rural residents and has led to further investigations by your Committee to determine the amounts generated by a portion of the County. The amount of solid waste generated by urban residents such as St. Thomas (including commercial establishments picked up by regular municipal collectors) is estimated at 2.45 lbs daily or approximately .48 tons per year. 2. That Superior Sanitation Limited has offered their Watford (Brooke Township, Lambton County) Disposal Site for the disposal of municipal waste at a price of $3.00 per ton. 3. That the charges by other municipalities and organizations are 306 ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL $3.00 per ton for the City of London's Clarke Road Site and $2.00 per ton charge to the City of Windsor by the County of Essex at their Maidstone Township Site. 4. That Municipal Solid Waste Disposal Sites are able to compete with private Waste Disposal Sites and usually their cost per ton is less than $3.00 per ton if the volume is sufficient (minimum of approximately 40,000 persons). 5. That the most economical site for the whole area(Elgin and Middlesex) in terms of transportation and disposal is the proposed W -12A Site of the City of London in Westminster Township. 6. That be~ause ofthe terms ofthe Municipal Board Order in rezoning the property restricting the use of the site to solid waste from the Township of Westminster and the City of London and the possibility that use of the site by all municipalities would fill the site in approximately 15 years another site or sites to serve St. Thomas and Elgin County is desirable. 7. Although the site should be located as close to the City of St. Thomas as possible to minimize the total transportation cost, a site on a good road network within 10 - 12 miles of St. Thomas would not increase transportation costs too unduly if the site disposal cost is in the $3.00 per ton range or less. 8. Very little difference in transportation cost is evident between the four sites looked at by the Consultants in the Elgin area namely Fingal Airport, Aylmer Airport (Police College), a site south of St. Thomas, and the proposed St. Thomas Sanitary Collection Services Site in northern Southwold Township. 9. That if disposal costs are in excess of $3.00 per ton because of development costs on a Municipal Site or the operators charges on a Privately owned Site, additional t~ansportation costs (i.e. longer distances) can be paid to a site providing cheaper disposal costs. 10. The Consultant is presently evaluating the cost to the various municipalities (or groups of municipalities) in the entire Study to determine the possible cost to them at any of the major selected sites. 11. Any reports forthcoming frd'blb'bther Studies now being undertaken ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL 307 by the Ministry of the Environment indicate that any practical method of recycling of more than cardboard cartons etc., is quite a number of years away and although the volume of waste might be somewhat reduced, .landfill sites will still be necessary for a good many years. Your Committee have also investigated a number of other matters. A meeting was held with the Representatives of the Elgin County Federation of Agriculture at which the Representatives requested the Committee to avoid the use of good farm land for any landfill site. This policy agrees with the general policy of the Provincial Federation of Agriculture and a policy of the Provincial Ministry of Agriculture and Food. the local Federation Delegation also indicated their preferance for a County or Municipally owned site over a privately owned site. A number of overtures have been made to the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Government Services for the use of a portion of the old Fingal Airport as a Waste Disposal Site. Some misunderstandings have occurred that have caused some residents of the area to believe that the County was proposing to use the total 600 acres plus, including the land under agricultural production as a site while actually the County proposed to use some 30 acres that could not be used for agricultural purposes where the old Airport Buildings and Hangars were once located. The Ministry of the Environment and our M.P.P. Mr. McNeil have made overtures to the Ministry of Natural Resources who leased the Airport lands from the Ministry of Government Services. About 10 days ago Warden Liebner received a letter from the Honourable Margaret Scrivener, Minister of Government Services that the Honourable Leo Bernier, Minister of Natural Resources stated that his Ministry of Natural Resources did not feel the proposed use of a portion of the property by the County would be compatible with programmes the Ministry is attempting to undertake on the property. Last week Mr. McNeil received a copy ofthe report upon which the decision was based, a copy of which is attached. As our Consultant James F. MacLaren Limited have stated that the total cost package of waste disposal would vary very little at another site in the same general radius of St. Thomas if the costs of land acquisition and development were reasonably equal, your Commitee has approached the 308 ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL Ministry of the Environment to approach the Ministry of Government Services and the Ministry of Natural Resources to ascertain if a site would be available at the old Aylmer Airport (police college) on a short or long term basis. We have also instructed a portion of our Committee to meet with representatives of the St. Thomas Sanitary Collection Services Limited to enquire as to their proposed tonnage price and conditions for disposal at the proposed South wold Township Site and to discuss other matters they may feel relevant. One meeting was held and more are planned. Our further investigations in the past two months in Malahide and South Dorchester Townships on the amount of Solid Waste produced have led us to believe that the estimate used by MacLarens (.365 ton per person per year) is quite high and that a figure one half of this amount is closer. Using Malahide Township with a population of 4,814 persons as an example. we find that approximately 878 tons per year or 17 tons weekly might be produced. (Our actual figures show that 10.4 tons were collected on the week of November 24th and 12.3 tons collected on the week of December 1 st.) At 17 tons per week the yearly rate is .182 tons per person. The Township of Malahide' s private collector is picking up and transporting the Township solid waste to the St. Thomas Site of the St. Thomas Sanitary Collection Services Limited where disposal takes place. The Township is presently paying $2.00 per capita per annum or approximately $185 per week for disposal only. At an estimated weekly amount of 17 ton the cost of this disposal per ton is approximately $11.00. (Actually it is more per ton as less than 17 ton per week is generated.) Last Spring in discussion with your Committee, representatives of the St. Thomas Sanitary Collection Services Limited indicated that their disposal cost at their South wold Site would be in the order of $2.86 per capita. (This would work out to approximately $15.50 per ton using Malahide Township solid waste amounts). Your Committee feels that disposal costs should be in line with those suggested by MacLarens(i.e. less than $3.00 per ton) and that costs above that figure are excessive. Your Committee has made application to the Ministry of the Environment for the right to have solid waste from any other Municipality ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL 309 in Elgin disposed of at the Dunwich Disposal Site if the need arises. Your Committee feels that the best system for the County of Elgin is a municipally owned Disposal Site and a privately owned and operated pickup service. This would allow Municipalities to tender pickup service and allow industries to choose a carrier suitable to them. The Disposal Site would be open to all on a "user pay basis. " ALL of which is respectfully submitted, M. A. Schafer, Chairman. 1106 Dearness Drive, LONDON, Ontario, N6E IN9 MEMORANDUM TO: Dr. J. K. Reynolds, Deputy Minister, F. 631 9 Sixth Floor, Whitney Block. SUBJECT: Elgin County's Desire to Utilize Fingal as a Land Fill Disposal Site. You will recall at our meeting in Springwater last Friday, you requested that I review the situation relative to the County's request and that I inform your office ofthe Region's feelings in this regard. I received a report from the Aylmer District on the subject and also, J. F. Gage and I visited the site with Paul Davidson and Gary Austin on July 14th. I also discussed the County's proposal with representatives of the Ministry of the Environment in London. The former Fingal airport was acquired to demonstrate the compatibility of agriculture and wildlife management practice. This ob jective has been accomplished over the years since the property was transferred to the provincial government, and the results of wildlife management work are now beginning to show. Because the M.N.R.'s mandate is in terms of providing recreation and managing wildlife resources, we are not willing to accept this proposal 310 ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL without some resistance. We feel that the County should be asked to pursue other alternatives, perhaps with the understanding that if nothing can be resolved, we would be prepared to discuss the subject with them at a later date. There are a number of points that have bothered us in our review of this subject in addition to our mentioned psychological reaction against land fill sites. We feel that the Ministry's mandate relative to land and resources management, and to high quality recreational opportunities gives us little choice but to oppose this proposal. The area in question was acquired for approximately $125,000 and in addition, several thousands have been spent to improve the wildlife cover on the area. These expenditures were made with a specific purpose in mind and the recent proposal appears to us to be inconsistent with previous actions. Fingal is one of the few upland game hunting and dog trial areas in Southern Ontario. It is in close proximity to London and St. Thomas and its use by sportsmen and naturalists has been increasing dramatically during the last two or three years. We would anticipate that these users would not be happy with the proposal and may even feel that they should be consulted regarding a decision. A detailed wildlife management plan for the Fingal area is being prepared. Fish and Wildlife staff in 'the Aylmer District do have a clear indication of what they are trying to accomplish and how to go about achieving these desired ends. Not having a detailed proposal regarding the land site. it is difficult at this point in time to appreciate just exactly what impact twenty or thirty trucks a day moving in and out of the area would have on the wildlife and on the land base and perhaps even on hunting activities if it is deemed necessary to establish a buffer area around the site. There are a number of questions that need to be answered before part of Fingal could be considered as a land fill site: - How would we inform the users and should they be involved in the decision relative to this area? - Would there be a need to go through normal approval procedures ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL 311 perhaps including O.M.B. as would be the case on a private site? - What sort of precedent would this be setting in terms of the needs of other municipalities? - What sort of remuneration should the Province receive in return for providing this assistance? - Is there any way that the return from the municipality could be directed into benfitting the local sportsmen? - What sort of assurance would we have that the landfill site would be operated as suggested verbally by the County? - What planning would be required by the County so that we would have a proposal that we would be able to approve and make sure that the municipality work within? We do not know the answers to these questions and, unfortunately, it is unlikely that we could go through a meaningful planning exercise to arrive at the sort of conclusions we require in time to satisfy the County. It may be desirable, however, that we do some immediate inventory and site planning work so that we are at least in a position to arrive at some concensus within the Ministry. Fingal is important as part of a system of provincial wildlife areas across the province. If one area buckles under a land use pressure opposite to what we are trying to achieve, then a precedent has been set and all provincial wildlife areas are threatened. RECOMMENDATIONS: I feel that because of the Ministry's mandate to provide recreational opportunities and due to the fact that we have spent public funds allocated for this purpose, we should resist the suggestion that the Fingal area be used as a landfill site. Recognizing, however, that there may be insurmountable problems with the altnerative areas, and that in the interest of the citizens of Elgin County, the Government may decide that this is a logical step, I would recommend that M.N.R. immediately carry out a site survey and develop a conceptual plan, and that a potential land fill site be designated within the concept plan. 312 ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL I would further recommend that the municipality then prepare plans outlining the details of their proposal, and that their recommendations should include a phased program whereby M.N.R. would have an opportunity to review the activities of one period before granting approval to continue into the subsequent stages. This would provide the Ministry with an opportunity to make certain that the municipality is, in fact, complying with operating conditions. I further recommend that the Ministry should not supply the municipality with this service free of charge and, as one alternative to a financial transaction, the Ministry draw up a list of development needs or conditions which the municipality would agree to provide to improve the remainder of the Wildlife Management Area.

ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL 325 WEED INSPECTOR'S REPORT December Session, 1975 To the Warden and Members of Elgin County Council, I wish to report on weed control in the County of Elgin for the year 1975. Some areas in the County suffered heavy rainfalls during the spring and summer and made planting crops difficult. Nevertheless most workable land was planted, and the growing season was excellent; thus wonderful crops of alfalfa and wheat were harvested. Early white bean growers had good crops but the heavy rains delayed the harvest, and many fields of beans were lost. Soya bean and corn growers have had a good fall with most of the crop harvested with a good yield. Some tobacco farmers had severe damage from hail storms in several areas of the County, however, the crop did turn out reasonably good. All the Townships in the County had excellent results from their spraying program this spring. Work crews in each Township put a good effort in spraying the roadsides and I congratulate them for a job well done. The Township and County road allowances had a very good appearance throughout the summer and this also includes the Ministry of Transportation and Communications road allowances. I am pleased to report the Railroads have also been active in mowing the weeds and brush on their property in many locations. Complaints over noxious weeds growing on neighbouring property has been about normal and the usual number of lots had to be ordered cut; however, the bills were paid by the owners when presented to them. In closing my report I would like to thank all County and Township officials, road crews and other weed inspectors and special thanks to the office staff at the County Municipal Building for their help and co-operation during the year. ALL of which is respectfully submitted, Jackson Baker, County Weed Inspector. 326 ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL COUNTY OF ELGIN By-Law No. 2382 "BEING A BY -LAW TO PROVIDE THAT THE ANNUAL COUNTY RATE BE PAID IN TWO INSTALMENTS BY EACH LOCAL MUNICIPALITY IN THE COUNTY OF ELGIN.
