WARDEN'S ADDRESS
Members of Counc~l, Lad~es and Gentlemen:
Let me thank you for the oppo~un~ty to represent you as Warden of
this great County: of Elgin.
It is a great honour and priv~lege for myself, myf~ily and the
municipality I represent to have the opportunity to serve in this
capacity.
I have served under four fine Wardens since I have been a Member
of County Counci~, and I feel very humble when I realize that I
must try to attain their high standards. I extend a special
thanks to Past Warden Bill Martyriforthe ded~cat~onhehas given
to the Office of Warden.
We shall, no doubt, be facing a very busy and challenging twelve
months, and we will all have the opportunities _to put forth our
productive ideas to cont~nue to provide the same excellent leader-
ship shown by previous Councils.
It is with regret that we say good-bye to old friends who will not
be serving on Council this term. May I wish them well and hope
they will always be available with their support to the County.
We have fourteen new Members JO:l.n:l.ng County Council this term,and
I have had the opportunity to meet with each one, as well as the
Members .remaining for another term, and I am sure that we have a
strong Council to face the challenges ahead.
In the past year~ the County has had tWO consultant studies com~
pleted, and the reports presented to Council. One, the_Elgin
County Study of Senior Citizens' Services, and the other the Elgin
County Library Study. Therefore, Council will have to consider
implement~ngsomeof the results oftbese consultant reports.
The County Roads Committee have two construction projects started
that they hope to have completed by the end of tbeyear. Thenew
Middlemiss Bridge,and the County Road 30 diversion, as well as
all other construction and maintenance work across the County.
All the other. committees will be very busy ,as well as the Members
appointed to the various boards andasGoc~at~ons.
I ask the Members of Council, Department Heads and County Staff to
work together to make 1989 another successful year for the County
of Elgin.
Thank you.

TO THE WARDEN AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY OF elGIN COUNCIL
YOUR ROAO COMMITTEE REPORTS AS FOLLOWS:
1. McLean-Taylor Construction Ltd. of St. Marys continues work on the
. Middlemiss Bridge on County Road #14 over the Thames River. Todate
they have comp leted concrete work on the North abutment to the top of
the bridge seat. They have also completed pile driving for both the
North and South piers and concrete footings and are in the process of
pouring concrete at the South pier. Construction including pile
driving on the South abutment will not be started until Spring. No
unusual problems have been encountered to date.
2. We have negotiated a $45,000.00 settlement with Frank Cowan Company for
damage t'o the County's main hangar storage building at White's Station.
The building whiCh is a portion of an airforce hangar was moved to the
site i~ the late 1940's and suffered wind damage during the sUlllller of
1988. The settlement inGludes approximately $6,000.00 which the County
incurredmaldng temporary repairs, installation of temporary hydro
facilities (for block heater plug.ins for trucks for the winter) and
a report by Parker Consultants \IIhich was required by the Insurance
Company to detail the damage. As the Parker report indicated that an
additional $64,000.OO"cif work. not associated with the wind damage
would be reqUired to rehabilitate the building (total cost of rehabili-
tation estimated at $91,000.00), your 1988 Road Comittee decided to
evacuate the building and make plans to build a new storage building
in 1989. All equipment and materials have been removed from the old
garage and arrangements have been made to remove the radio equipment.
It is hoped to complete this removal within the next two(2) weeks. The
Engineer has been instructed to remove the old bui lding as soon as
possible.
3. The Warden, Chairman, and the Engineer met with the Warden and Chairman
of the Middlesex County Road COllll1ittee and the Middlesex County

portion of this link. A like expenditure in 1989 would complete the

and the St. Thomas Suburban Road Corrmission is $2,975.000 {road and
bridge construction and asphalt resurfacing) which is only 95.6~ of
the 1988 objective. Construction allocations to the Counties and
Regional Municipalities were based on 2.74~ of their approved needs
for road and bridge construction for 1989 compared to 3.~'k in 1988
(a reduction of 17<:;). Asphalt resurfacing allocations remain constant
at 12~. The County's total road and bridge needs in 1988..ere

February Session, 1989
FIRST REPORT
To the Warden and Members. of the Elgin County Council,
The Personnel Committee reports as follows:
1. That we recommend that the attached Job Evaluation
Program be adopted in principal for use in the Pay Equity Program
in conjunction with the employee unions and associations for the
County of Elgin~
2. That we recommend that the following Employment Policies
be adopted:
12.60 Termination for Cause
Employees will be considered to be terminated for cause when
serious breaches of duty or neglect occur. Just cause is
dismissal immediately without notice or pay in lieu of notice
when an action by an employee is so serious that termination
is the only reasonable course of action.
In the event of such terminations it is recommended that
professional consultation be obtained in order to validate
justification for just cause discharge.
12.70 Involuntary Termination
Termina~ion in such cases means terminations for reasons
which are lesserthan~hose in just cause situations. In
such.casestermination maybe well~justified by the ,County
where the Personnel committee or the employee's supervisor
loses confidence ,in the employee'S ability to continue to
perform adequately.
In such cases a,decision must be made with respect to an
appropriate amount of pay in lieu of notice to be offered to
the disch&rgedemployee. In such cases the amoUnt of pay in
lieu of notice will be offered to the employee in either a
lump surnor by means of continuation of salary in the normal
manner for the notice period. In either alternative usual
statutory deductions must be made from the employee's cheque.
12.80 Voluntary Resignation
When an employee indicates the intent to resign he/she should
be asked to prepare the notice of resignation in writing. It
is understood that Management staff will be required to pro-
vide four (4) weeks notice iri writing, where two (2) weeks
notice in writing will be required for all others.
Employees who resign from the County will be interviewed
either by the Department Head, or his designate, or another
party in which the employee would be invited to offer reasons
for leaving, suggestions for improvements in policies, working
conditions or other matters. including general impressions of
the employment with the County. The results of such inter-
views shall be forwarded to the Personnel committee as is
appropriate.
3. That we rec:ommend that the Personnel Committee be
authorized to advertise for, interview and hire a Personnel
Administrator for the County of Elgin at a maximum salary of
$40,000.

COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD COMMITTEE
FIRST REPORT
MAY 17. 1989 SESSION
TO THE WARDEN AND MEMBERS OF THE COUtiTY OF ELGIN COUNCIL
YOUR ROAD COMMITTEE REPO/U$ AS FOLLOWS:
1. Tenders have been called for hot mix paving for various budgeted
County construction and resurfacing prOjects. The tender also
included resurfacing on portions of County Road 1#18 from Highway 1#4
to the St. Thomas Sanitary Colledion $en ices landfill site.
2. The Engineer has been authorized to replace the! floor on the Gillets
Bridge as soon as pOSSible so that the County can utilize the
gravel that they have piled at the Sparta Pit. Gravel crushing has
been postponed at the pit until Fall.
The gravel resurfacing budget has been doubled on County roads to
$140,000. To accolllllOdate these changes work on the St. George
Street hill between the Canadian National tracks and the St. George
Street Bridge has been postponed until 1990.
Also postponed is the payment of a drainage assessment on Southdale
Road (Road 1157) as it appears that the Township of Yarmouth's
Drainage Engineer wi 11 not have a report for some time.
WE RECOMMEND:
1. That a by-law be passed authorizing the Warden and Clerk to sign an
agreement with the Village of Port Burwell for the installation and
maintenance of a sewer system on County roads in the Village.
This by.taw will be similar to by-laws passed in March for the
Vi llages of Dutton and Port Stanley.
2. That a by-law be passed limiting the speed to 60 kilomtres per hour
on County Road 1#45 east and west of the County Road 1#35 intersection
at Jaffa. Total length of the zone 1.1 kilometres.
3. That County of Elgin engage Mr. Andrew Wright to act on the County
of Elgin'S behalf in the suit of the TownShip of Bayham against
Natural Resources Gas limited in the Township's attempt to recover
their drainage assessment costs for the Straffordville municipal
drain.

COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD COMMITTEE
FIRST REPORT - MAY 17, 1989 SESSION
PAGE 2.
3. Continued...
If the Township of Bayham loses the case all drainage assessments
against gas pipeline utilities will be in jeopardy.
4. That the following resolution be endorsed by County Council:
THAT WHEREAS the Road' Committee of the County of Elgin has been
made aware of a draft Ministry of Transportation of Ontario pol icy
on surface type standards which, when incorporated into the Ministry
of Transportation of Ontario Needs Study Methods Manual, will
result in a reduction in funding for the Province's muniCipal road
system.
WHEREAS the "bench mark- costing, which is a key component in
determining needs. is in part based on surface type.
WHEREAS any reduction in permitted surface Quality will thus result
in reduced funding.
AND W1iEREAS upper tier funding of construction based on the . "needs"
methodOlogy hillS been reduced 241 in the last 4 years (3.6Sof
defined needs in 1984, 3.46' in 19B6. 3.421 1n 1987. 3031 in 19BB.
to 2.741 in 1989).
WHEREAS any arbitrary reduction while detennining the defined needs
will be multiplied as the trend continues.
That the County of Elgin hereby recorrmends to the Ministry of
Transportation of Ontario that the surface type standards policy be
dropped or at least amended to specifically pennit local conditions
and economies to govern the surface type permitted when establishing
"needs" and not just for project speCific subsidy at tile time of
constructi on .
We al so reconmend:
That the Minister of Transportation of Ontario. our M.P.P.. Marietta
Roberts and the Ontario €ood Roads Association be advised of the
adoption of this resolution.
We have been advised that the Ministry of Transporation of Ontario
has a draft policy to reduce surface standards on County roads. We
feel that if this is adopted that the "needs" in rural municipalities
could be seriously curtailed and thus result in a more severe
shortage of funding in rural Counties and TownShips than presently
exists.

The Ministry of Transportation of Ontario draft is recOlrmending
among other chages:
(a) Crushed gravel 2!!.!1. for roads 200 to 400 vehicles per day, 'Pit
run gravel 2!!.!l." on roads that have under 200 vehicleS- per day
and surface t~atment for any road between 400 and -1.000

COUNTY GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE REPORT
June 21st Session, 1989
FIRST REPORT
To the Warden and Members of the Elgin County Council,
The County Government Committee reports as follows;
1. That the County Government Committee, h8vingreviewed
the Report of the Consultation Committee to the Minister of
Municipal Affairs on County Government in Ontario, wishes to
recommend the following points for forwarding to the Minister as
the County of Elgin's position on the various areas:
1. Basically, Elgin County agrees that the review of our
present system. including functions etc.. is long overdue
and the end result will be beneficial regardless of the
final outcome.
2. WASTEMANAGEHENT - The function of waste management at
the County level is an area that should be reviewed thor-
oughly and .may notreault in some local municipalities, who
have their own landfill sites, having this service provided
at a cheaper cost than presently enjoyed, but this depends
on the capacity of these locations.
3. REPRESENTATION -The principle of representation by
population appears to be-an equitable method to have local
municipalities sitOh County Council (although the magic
number of a population of 4,000 is questioned as being the
size to be selected).
4. FUNCTIONS - All services suggested for transferring to
the County are not necessarily_considered appropriate,
however, large feeder lines for .water and sewage may bean
advantage to be maintained at the County. level. It would
be necessary to carefully examine each service to determine
if sufficient benefits. would be realized to have 'it trans-
ferred.
5. SEPARATED MUNICIPALITIES - The County is of the opinion
that the City of St. Thomas should be a partner in the
restructuring study, but they are strongly opposed to this
participation and wish to remain apart. Benefits available
with the separated municipalities as part of the County
System can be many. Boundary adjustments presently being
discussed with the two surrounding townships would .be more
readily reconciled where all property would be under a
common assessment base instead of being deleted from the
County portion and added to the separated municipality. A
restructured County, including a separated municipa~ity,
would provide a forum for the municipa1ities to enter into
decision making on shared services without the present
adversarial system currently in existence.
2. That we recommend that the following be appointed as
members of the County Restructuring Steering Committee;
Werden Ford
Reeve Neukamm
Deputy Reeve Millman
Reeve Lavereau
Reeve Rushmere
Reeve Allin.
- 2 -
3. That we recommend that the following be appointed as
members of the County Restructuring Liaison Committee:
Warden Ford

TREE COMMISSIONER'S REPORT
November 15th Session, 1989
To the Warden ana Members of the Elgin County Council,
Twenty-one logging eompanieswereoperatingwithin Elgin County
this past winter. Eaehtownship haa its share of woodlots being
thinned. ! was kept busy cheekingoperations as many'small-wood-
lotsreguiredonlytwo days of cutting. Some woodlots fell victim
while others were strengthened as old mature timber was taken,
permitting increasea sunlight to sttmulategrowth of young trees.
Although 109ging almost reached a standstill in mid-summer,Notice
of Intents have been increasing steadily since September. Much of
this work is focused on gullies. It is hard work, but there is a
great deal of quality timber located on our hillsides.
Once again, I encourage all potential sellers to contact the
Ministry of Natural Resources and take advantage of their free
service of tree marking. This gives the woodlot Owner a bargain-
ing tool as footage and approximate value are identified. I have
a list of forty-six log buyers that have worked in Elgin - many
are Elgin County residents themselves.
Tree top damage was prevalent again this year. Our lowered water
table combined with acid rain to negatively affectnev growth;
Many species with shallow root spread were forced to develop more
roots.insearch of moisture. Farm wells, ereeks and ponds dis-
played the problem of the lowered water table. The Sweet Chestnut
trees,whichI,am finding a few mor-of.only a handful of-fully
aeveloped'nut~can.be found. Other nut trees have fared much
better. Hardwoods have not recuperated from last year's drought
as can be seen.
I would like to thank George Leverton, County Council.- Counl::y
Roads Depart:ment ,township road crews, Ministry of Natural
Resources and their staffs, all have been .of'great assistencemany

WEED INSPECTOR'S REPORT
November 15th Session, 1989
To the Warden and Members of the Elgin County Council.
Again our Elgin County farmers are hard at work completing their
tasks as another season draws to a close. I have noticed less
rubble deposited on roads by farm machinery and improved combine
cleanings before moving from one field to the. next. We can.all
benefit from this procedure in preventing the spread of weeds.
As spring started out warm, many crops were planted early.
Showers were well-timed to stimulate growth, unfortunately. the
showers turned to heavy rain drowning out many plantings and
preventing seeding for those farmers not out earlier. Elgin was
certainly more fortunate than many other counties further west
where ,wet conditions prevented planting of corn and beans
altogether.
Weeds have thrived this year, becoming a problem in some crops.
The heavy rain only served to spread the infestation, in some
fields it was difficult to determine which was going to win out.
the soyabeans or the weeds.
There have been no problems gett.ing lots. and farmland cut this
year. Residents have beenmost..compliant. The,.new Ontario Weed
Act. passed in parliament this year, has been beneficial in
reducing the hassle which sometimes accompanies an order to cut.
The new. fine of S500.00 for failure to cut is certainly more
forceful than tne old SSO.OO fine.
Road crews started cutting on time this year. but after two weeks
weed growth had returned to its former strength. I received
numerous calls regarding the cutting of road allowances, however.
the growing conditions this year prevented appreciation of tne
work completed by mower operators.
The disc mowers have proved tobea great help in speeding up
cutting as garbage does not plug up these machines as it does with
the knife mowers. The task of mowing all day in the not gun is
trying enough without having the time-consuming chore of clearing
garbage from the blades. Refuse continues to be a problem in
some areas.
All townships sprayed again this year with the exception of one
which opted for mowing only. The County. as well, chose to cut
fence to fence rather than spray. A delay was noted in August as
holidays decreased crew numbers.
I attended two weed seminars in Guelph this year. In April
inspectors were familiarized with the new Weed Act and at the
Weed Identification Seminar in July. three new weeds were added
to the list of noxious weeds - Colts' Foot (of which we have
plentyl, PrOBO Millet and Poison Hemlock.
In closing, I would like to thank the County Clerk and his very
co-operative staff who always help when called upon. the township
clerks and secretaries. village clerks and secretaries. and road
crews with their knowledge of the local areas. All have been
most helpful in my duties as Weed Inspector. Thank you.
ALL of which is respectfully submitted.

DIRECTOR/ADMINIStRATOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
TO THE WARDEN and MEMBERS OF ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL:
Elgin Manor has 148 beds of vhich 95 are extended care arid 53
are residential care. Terrace Lodge has 100 beds, residential care.
We have received verbal instructions from the Ministry of Community
and Social Services, that rather than move residents from Terrace
Lodge to Elgin Hanor if they require more nursing care, we can now
transfer extended care to terrace Lodge for the period of time required
to allov this person extended care privileges.
We have not yet received instructions from the Ministry of Community
and Social Services that more extended care beds viII be allocated to
Terrace Lodge as the study of the Peat Harwick Consultant Company does
show that Elgin County, at the present time, does have sufficient
extended care beds.
Due to the many Home Support Programs that are being offered through
Elgin County Home~ for Senior Citizens Services in the form of programs
to allow senior citizens to become independent and stay independent as
long as possible and to continue living in their own environment, the
occupancy tate of Elgin Manor and Terrace Lodge has dropped since 1988
and 1989 has Been a tremendous change in tbe occupancy at Elgin Manor.
As of the 31st of October 1989ve veKeopeKating at 94.2X occupancy.
At Terrace LOdge'we vereoperating at 82.41.
We have been able to hold our per diem rate lover than most Homes
for the Aged' in Region I, vhichis_covering HOlies for the Aged ,from
London, St. Thomas. Chatham, Leamingeon and Windsor. and the 1989 rate
was $43.50 and the Byrne Rest HOlle rate .as the same as 1988~ $23.50.
The Satellite Home in Fingalhas been operating this year with 3
residents, although with the occupancy rate of Elgin Hanor and Terrace
Lodge, we are not using the facility at the Byrne Rest Home, hovever,
it does offer a small altern8t1ves8tellite from a larger institution
and when residents request they would rather be in 8 smaller faeility.
The residents at the. Satellite Home at Fingal are encouraged to come
to Elgin Hanor on our day programming and for recreation and crafts.

During this year we have continued to expand Qur Home Support
Programs and the statistics covering the Rumberof seniors using
this are attached; ve do continue to look at innovative ideas to
increase our prograws to seniors. One that has particularly been
of interest to many senior citizens in the province of Ontario and
we have rec~ived a tremendous amount of publicity from is our Winter
Care program where seniors can move in to Elgin Manor or Terrace
Lodge for a period of 4to 5 months during the winter season and
then return to their own dwelling and continue living independently.
January 1989 the Committee of Management of Elgin County Homes
became the funding agency through the Ministry of Community and
Social Services for Elgin/St.Thomas Alzheimer Society and this has
brought a further extension of our program for Alzheimer senior
citizens and we now operate a day care program for seniors at Elgin
Manor and Terrace Lodge.
We are also very fortunate to have the Special Care wing at
Elgin Manor which was able to be easily converted to an Alzheimer
wing and we now are able to assist families with support programs
to continu~ keepfng Alzheimer persons independent in their ovn home.
In January 1989 we also started to operate the Registered wanderer
Program. this program enables all residents in Homes for Senior Citizens
in the community to be part of this progra. which gives them a distinctive
blue and gold pin identifying a person thathaa Alzheimer disease.
The wearer haa wandered away from home or caregiving institution and
may be confused and disoriented. by calling: the 1-800 number ontbe
Registered Wanderer Pin we are able to get tbe Alzbeimer person as
quickly as possible back to either the caregiver or the care giving
institution. With the uae of the 1-800 number the information is then
directed immediately to the O~P.P. or police in the area to assist
them with information data to enable this person to be returned to the
family. this is a 24 hour 7 day a week emergeney service developed
_to assist people with Alzheimer disease.

In June 1989 the Peat Harwick Consulting firm presented the
Master Functional Plan of the proposed Elgin Village to County Council
and much discussion has been held regarding the -proposed new building,
however, County Council has now committed their funding to. the Elgin
Village and the Ministry of Community and Social Services has been
advised of this and we are now waiting for further instructions from
the Ministry of Community and Social Services with regsrd to 50%
funding by the Ministry.
Heals-on-Wheels: Thia year we were finally able to .ake arrangements
for a full Heals-on-Wheels program to be supplied to any senior citizen
in Elgin County through either the meal being supplied by an institution
or a Home for the Aged in the area and now we are pleased that we have
restaurants who are on contract with us and we can arrange lor meals
to be delivered to sny part of the County by the use of volunteer drivers.
the installation of 1-800-265~4588 has been used widely by the
senior citizens of our County and we are pleased this number has made
Elgin County.Homes a one-stop shopping centre and senior citizens
who require any assiatance at all may c.ll this number,~nd if we cannot
help them'we arrange for their number to be trsnsferredfto another
agency who can '.aaiat them.
Seniorc:ltizens are living longer than ever before':aad it 1s
necesa.ryfor uato_eontinue,..aiating a~niors to live .aindependently
as possible in their own homes and toeneourage aeniora-to-enroll in
our Home Support Prograllls,vJ:tich offerl!lthematrelllendou8' advantage.
We have been ,advertising through the local media and Otr'~;V. during
this year andthia hescertainly helpedua to expand our-- services.
I vould like to take this opportunity of thanking the Warden
Reeve Albert Ford, ChairmsnReeve Vane Chute, and all members of my
Committee for helping Elgin Caunty Homes to be able to continue with
the innovative programs that make Elgin County a County with a future;
and for the senior population to be assured they vill have care and
