community of West Elgin.
SUBJECT: ROAD REPORT
Rick presented his report for the previous month and responded to council inquiries
regarding the gravel. He stated that the gravel is of the proper standards, and the men
watch each load closely. He may change the quantities of brine and chloride next year, and
try something different. He reported that two summer students will be working in his
department for the summer, Corey Downie and Adam Ecker. He has met with Wray
Ramsay to review various drain problems. They have been doing cold mix patching, and
installed a culvert at the dead end area of Hoskins Street. He also reported street sweeping
in the Villages and stump removals, and some hydro pole installations. He is investigating
the process for a gravel pit expansion.

th
June 14, 2001/council mtg
Councillor Mooser reported that he is still receiving property standards complaints about
grass not being cut at two West Lorne locations, and also complaints about truck parking. A
truck trailer has been parked in a residential area in West Lorne, and the Road
Superintendent was asked to contact the police to investigate.
Councillor Balint suggested that a sign could be placed at the entrance to the subdivision, to
restrict large truck parking. She also had been contacted regarding a catch basin problem in
West Lorne. The road superintendent agreed to have a look at it.
SUBJECT: PARKS & ARENA REPORT
Jeff Slater presented his report for the past month. Mayor McPhail commented on the
excellent turnout for the new pool opening. Councillor Mooser presented a $200.00 cheque
for the pool project, from the Legion.
Jeff was asked about the capital projects for this year’s budget. Since some of these
projects are based on the Super-Build Grants applied for, they will have to be put on hold
until we receive confirmation on the funding. However, Jeff is to proceed to gather quotes
for the recreation storage building at the end of Jessie Street and present them at the next
meeting. As a comparison, he was also requested to investigate the possibility that Hydro
One may wish to sell the old PUC building in West Lorne and see what they would ask for it.
Councillor Balint reported that the Downhill Derby had to be delayed due to rain, but when it
took place, a lot of fun was had by all.
Councillor Balint requested that council consider approving the blocking of the windows in
the washroom area of the Arena in West Lorne and repairs on the referees room. The
approximate cost will be between $5000.00 and $6.000.00, and council advised that the
recreation department can move ahead on these items.
Interviews are currently taking place for the Day Camp Supervisors for this year’s program.
SUBJECT: WORKS DEPT. BACK-HOE
The Road Superintendent presented quote figures for the purchase of a new back-hoe and
the trade-in of the old John Deere and the old Case back-hoe.
1. On Track – John Deere quote price was $86,800.00 with a trade in for the Case and
$15,000.00 and $30,000.00 on the John Deere.
2. KUCERA Farm Equipment, in Alvinston quoted a price of $88,349.00 with a trade in
value of $27,000.00 for the Case and $41,000.00 for the John Deere.
Discussions took place regarding the purchase of a new backhoe versus other options, and
it was decided that council would grasp such a great opportunity.
RES. NO. 2 Moved by Councillor Bandeen
Seconded by Councillor Warwick
RESOLVED that the Road Superintendent be given approval to purchase a
Model 580SM Case tractor/backhoe from Kucera Farm Equipment, in
Alvinston in the amount of $88,349.00 plus taxes, with the trade in value for
the old PUC Case backhoe set at $27,000.00 and $41,000.00 for the John
Deere trade-in.
DisposItion: Carried.
SUBJECT: BEGIN PROPERTY – THIRD STREET
Council discussed the property owned by Louise and Gaston Begin at the end of Third
street on the west side. Rick reported that the catch basin is not broken, however there is
broken pavement on the asphalt due to the large trucks. The Clerk is to correspond with her,
to explain that council tries to always be consistent in the fee structure, which we are unable
to change, but council will be flexible on the road repairs. Since the water lines on that street
are in need of being repaired, it was decided that the road repairs will be done along with
those repairs.
2
SUBJECT: WATER REPORT
Lloyd Jarvis reported that he has been busy working on the Silver Clay water line
connections. The Port Glasgow cottagers will all have a meter installed by the end of the
month. Bethal Park connections will all be completed by next week. Thompson Line and
Silver Clay Line are now done.
SUBJECT: OLD BOYS PARK/LAKEWOOD ESTATES
Mr. Jarvis reported that Lakewood Estates own a property on the north west side of the Old
Boys Trailer Park, and they report that some of the trailers from the Old Boys are
encroaching onto their property. They have requested that council address this issue. It
concerns eleven trailers in total. A survey firm has confirmed where the property line is, and
a letter will go out to the trailer owners effected, sometime in late August , to notify them that
a fence will be erected at the end of September. This will give the trailer owners notice to
have their personal items moved back from the affected area.
SUBJECT: WATER CONNECTION COSTS
Marsh Line connections were originally $2000.00 and now the fees have been reduced to
be consistent with the rest of the municipality. There have been some comments regarding
this, however Council can only be responsible for the three year term in which they sit on
council, so there will be no adjustments made from the past.
SUBJECT: WATER DEPT. ARREARS POLICY
Administrator Groch requested that council consider a change in policy regarding the
collection procedures for arrears collection on overdue water accounts. The present policy is
that a second notice is sent out on ten days overdue accounts, and then there is a hand
delivered notice to try to collect. This have proven to be labour intensive, inefficient and
sometimes ineffective.
The new policy will be that the overdue accounts will be mailed a reminder notice, and ten
days after that the water will be cut off. The reconnection fee will be $15.00 to have it turned
back on. Persons who go south for the winter and request that their water be turned off, will
be required to pay a reconnection charge when they return.
A notice of the policy changes will be sent out to the customers in a future mailing, and also
put into the paper.
SUBJECT: BUILDING REPORT
Lorne McLeod, CBO presented his monthly report to council indicating that seventeen new
permits were issued during the month of May totalling $763,700.00 worth of construction.

SUBJECT: DAVE GOOS – FAIR BOARD

events include a Tractor Pull and the Fair Board feels that in order to recoup some of their

SUBJECT: TOM MCCALLUM, SUPPORT SERVICES OF ELGIN
Tom McCallum was welcomed to the meeting, and he explained that he’d been
requested to explore the options available to make the West Lorne Community Centre
more functional, by way of a major renovation of the building, with the ultimate goal
being better accessibility and also to create more functional meeting space. They plan to
submit a grant application to the Trillium Fund program and this would require a lease
agreement with the municipality for the use of the property for a minimum of at least five
years.
6
Tom presented a preliminary design for the proposed renovations, including a lift system
to allow access to the basement area. This would allow the basement to hold various
work stations, a meeting room and storage space. The air quality would also have to be
addressed, if the basement is included in the renovation. The current room used by the
Police Services would be made smaller, and the storage room would be turned into an
additional smaller meeting room.
Council asked if he had investigated the possibility of constructing the lift on the outside
of the building, as an addition? He stated that they had looked at that possibility,
however he said that the cost for the project would rise significantly. The current design
estimate of cost would be $188,107.61.
A number of councillors felt that a great deal of money had already been spent on the
building in the past, so they were hesitant to approve such a large project, until they felt
the design was truly functional as a community use building.
Council thanked Mr. McCallum for his presentation, and they requested that he attend a
st
meeting on June 21, to present the design proposal to some representatives of the
user groups, so they can add input and feedback at this initial stage of the project. He
was also requested to bring a cost estimate for an outside elevator worked into the
design.
Councillor Bandeen returned to the council meeting at this time.
