the adequacy of County and Regional Road systems.
.
The Ministry of Transportation and Communications set Province wide
criterae that are used to judge all road systems as to their adequacy to
service the traffic in the next five years. Many things are considered in
these criterae including volume of present traffic, traffic growth, structural
. ,
adequacy, surface type, rideability, etc.
'.
I
The County Road system is rated jointly by Ministry and County
personnel (or the County's Consultant when one is used). The County's roads
sections and bridges are rated-into categories:- Adequate Now; Deficient Now;
or Likely To Become Deficient Within A Period Of 1 to 5 Years.
The Ministry has also set up an elaborate Bench Mark system of
estimating the probable costs incurred in bringing all deficient Roads and
Bridges. to an adequate standard.
The representative cost per kilometer whether it be minor asphalt
resurfacing or a major complete rebuilding to an urban standard with curb,
gutter and storm sewer, or something in between, is set by the Ministry for
each County comparing. other Counties and Regions across the Province and
after taking past local costs into consideration. The final summary represents
the total cost of improving the System in a 5 year period to an adequate level
for the traffic that would be expected to use it at the end of the 5 year
periOd. Ministry officials are involved in the study at all phases and
finally summations are done by the Ministry computor and the results forwarded
to each County. These costs are u~cd by all parties for future planning.
Costs of bridge repairs and replacement are based on similar Ministry
\,<' q,f rransportation and Conununica.tions criterac and costs.

By ensuring that Ministry criterae and costs are used acroas
the Province, the Ministry has assured itself that the total costs are
accur~te and do not give one municipality an advantage over another.
It is only by strictly adhering to the "rules" of the Provtnce
that we can keep our credibility and ensure that the true needs of the
residents of the County are properly considered by the Provincial
Government. This not only applies to Roads but to Health Care, Social
Service programmes, Sanitary Sewers and Watermain Needs, etc.
It is only through the use of accurate, credible information
that the citizens of Elgin County can effectively voice their needa at
Queena Park.
Any insinuation or suggestion that our estimates calculated
in Aocord4nce with rigid Ministry guidelines, are inflated, renders a
disservice not only to the people of Elgin, but also to the ~lnistry.

COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD COMMITTEE REPORT
NOVEMBER SESSION 1984
FIRST REPORT
To the Warden and Members of the Elgin County Council,
Your Road Committee Reports As Follows:-
1. Tow1and (London) 1970 Limited have completed their contract
for asphalt paving on Road 22. Work has been nearly completed
for the season as wet weather has forced postponement of fin&l
trimming work to next year.
2. Work has been completed on Roads 42 and 50 in Port Burwell for
the season, with nearly all trim work having been completed.
3. Guide rail work on Road 42 at Silver Creek has been corr~leted.
Only very minor trim remains.
4. An application in the amount of $27,090 under the Canada Works
(Winter Works) has been made for improvements to County road
facilities and properties.
5. Ministry of Transportation and Communications' Subsidy Allocations
for 1985 are not expected until mid January.
6. We have purchased an Elgin Pelican Model H.H. Sweeper from
Frink Canada at $91,877 plus sales tax. We hope to have delivery
by next April. We have not decided whether to accept the trade-
in allowance of $5,400.00 for our 1974 Elgin Pelican III Sweeper.
7. The County Roads Needs Update Study has been completed by staff
and forwarded to the Ministry of Transportation and Comuunications.
Bridges Needs on County Roads are estimated at $5,548,000.
Roads Construction Needs are estimated at $21,989,000.
Asphalt Resurfacing Needs (5 year period) are estimated at $11,856,000.
(These estimates are based on 1983 costs with work outs"tanding
at January 1, 1984~) Total needs on county roads $39,393,000.
In addition Needs for County Bridges not on county roads are
estimated at $4,316,000.
The Ministry of Transportation and Communications uses 1:hese Needs
as a base for Construction Allocation Subsidies for future years.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
CHAIRMAN W. R. CAVERLY.

Deputy Reeve Bill Martyn.
I'MOVED BY: D. A. MCWI LLIAM

CARRIED."
THE ENGINEER REPORTED AS FOLLOWS:
1. Engineering work on the Strachan Street drain extension was continuing.
2. No information had been received from the Ministry of Transportation and
Connnunications as to whether or not they would sell their sand dome at
their Wallacetown Patrol Yard.
3. No reply had been received from the County Solicitor with regard to the
Ferguson land purchase (County Road #30).
4. The Youth Progral.1l1ue was continuing with only fair results. The workers
under the progrannne were less than average and 1 had already been replaced
and another would be laid-off.
5. The stump removal programme had been terminated as no further funds were
available, however good results had been achieved on County Roads #28,
#16 and Road #45.
A considerable amount of work remained to be done and if funds were
available in future year s the progral.1l1l.1e shoul d be carried on.
6. The Engineer had been requested to assist the Ministry of Transportation
and Connnunications at a Regional Bridge Inspection and Repair Seminar in
London on November 22.
~
The Ministry was promoting seminars throughout the Province with their
own staff and municipal road staff and would likely require the Engineers'
services for a number of days in 1985.
7. The Engineer had 9 days holidays left to take in 1984..

'the Engineer presented the latest al1lended report on the county' s Needs Study
Update sho"ing a total need of $39,373,000 on County roads.
It appeared that the 11.inistry of TransportatiOn and communicatiOns .,auld not
ha~e subsidy allocations for 1985 out to the ~ariOuS municipalities before

upper tier municipalities.
Although Elgin had forwarded the requested information, most upper tier
municipalities had not forwarded the information to the Ministry. It would be
necessary to tabulate all of this information before construction objectives
could be reached and a subsidy allocation arrived at.
It appeared that there was little if any chance of all increase in subsidy
and in all likelihood it would be a recalculation. of assessment figures, etc.,
which would likely result in an increase in the County Levy for 1985. The
Engineer'S best guess of such a County Levy increase would be approximately
6% or $60,000. Thus the 1985 Levy would be approximately $1,100,000.
Although the County Levy might increase the total subsidy'allocation would not
likely increase enough to look after inflation on maintenance and if a severe
winter was encountered a portion of the construction allocation would have to
be transferred to maintenance.
The Engineer reported that more and more Counties are finding it necessary
to use a portion of their construction allocation to keep up their day to day
maintenance
as the Ministry'S allocation for maintenance was not sufficient
to cover necessary maintenance work.
The purchase of new equipment was discussed at some length and the Engineer
reported that he and Floyd Humphries had inspected a new Frink Sweeper with the
Frink salesman in Birmingham, Michigan several weeks previously noting
improvements that have been made in the sweeper in the past 10 years would in
their opinion preclude a major expenditure in rebuilding the Countys' old
sweeper and they recvlll1llended that a new sweeper be purchased.
The CVlluuittee noted the quotation of Frink Canada and the trade-in allowance.
The Gommitteehoped that a higher trade-in allowance could be received from
Frink Canada at the time a new sweeper was received or a private individual
might be interested in purchasing the old sweeper. The sweeper was presently
in poor condition and it was hoped that it would be able to work for a few
days to finish the work at hand.

The Committee members discussed and noted the continual renting of outside
trucks throughout the year and felt that they could economize if the County
owned another truck.
Several of the County's trucks had more than 300,000 kilometers on them.
Although they might be good for several years, with major repairs, they were
more susceptible to breakdown.
The Engineer felt that if another truck was purchased it should be equipped
with a snow plow as some of the present County snowplow equipment was extremely
old.

12. It would likely be necessary to change motors bet'Wel~n the standby grader

(Grader #14) and another Champion grader (Grader#14~) as the motor on
Grader #lq was in poor condition.
When this was completed the standby grader would be of little value.
13. Construction was continuing on County Road #22 (Fairview Avenue). Dirt was
being received from Towlands from their work in. St. Thomas and it appeared
that there would be more than enough dirt to build shoulders between the
City limits and County Road #45.
Granular base on the north limit of Fairview would start as soon as
excavation work in Port Burwell had been completed. Only work in Concession
VII could be done as it would be nearly a month before Hydro completed

The Cvul1uittee noted that in lieu of a large bond Mr. DeRyk might wish to
have the County do the work and bill him.

The Engineer reported that the County Registry Office would not take a
meets and bounds description for the propert,y (old Rodney Garage) proposed to
be transferred to the Township of Aldborough and required a referance plan.
A tentative sketch was given to Reeve Perovich for approval of the. Township
Council.
Land purchased on Road #30 was discussed (Ferguson's) and the Engineer was
instructed to hire an appraiser to make a t.entative estimate as to the approximate
devaluation of the property because of lack of an entrance to Mr. Ferguson's uppe'r
field and have the report ready for the next Road Committee meeting.
Deputy Reeve Martyn requested that the County take no action to open County
Roads #51 and #45 for the Port Stanley Terminal Rail Company to operate over
until such time as the Terminal Rail Company entered into a suitable agreement
with the Township of Yarmouth.
The Engineer was instructed to advise the Port Stanley Terminal Rail Company
that the County would not proceed until a satisfactory agreement was entered into
with Yarmouth Township.

TllE FJ'G1NEER RF:l'ORTED TUAT:
t.l?pro}tunatelY 3 1/2 daYS had been spent ",ith Ministry of Transportation
and cororounicatiOns' representatiVes appraising the county road System
1.
for the major (5 yeal:) structural update of the County roads,
1t'~as found that:
Deficiencies had increased greatlY since the last majOr inspection.
The resurfacing progra1\ll1le ",as not keeping up ",ith the apparent needs.
(b)
(c) The bandaid approaches that have been applied are failing.
(d) That CountY Road #20 north of CountY Road #J.B and County Road #43
north and south of calton ",ere in e}ttremelY poor "ondition and
needed .a coat of gravel iromediatelY,
Bridge deck problems ",ere increasing because of aging of the
(a)
(e)
structures.
lt ",as readilY apparent that more funds ",aUld be needed to keep roads
maintained than had been available in the past fe'" years.
AS the present Ministry of TransportatiOn and CQIlll1lunicatiOns' poliCY
seemed to cut road allocations a poorer road System ",ould result ",ithin
a short time.
ST. THOMAS, ONTARIO
APRIL 11, 1984
PAGE 2.
2. Benchmark costs had been received from the Ministry which were to be used
to estimate the total cost of the deficiencies.
These benchmark costs were unrealisticly low and the Ministry had been
asked to review them.
Other municipalities had also complained about the low benchmark costs
and the Ministry had qgreed to review the benchmark costs across. the
Province through their construction br.anch.
The Ministry of Transportation and Communications benchmark costs for
asphalt resurfacing was approximat.ely 2/3 of the cost submitted by the
County.
As future Ministry of Transportation and Cvullllunications spending and
subsidy allocations would be (for the next 5 years) based on these costs
it was very imperative that the proper costs he used.
The Engineer was authorized to continue negotiations with the Ministry to
obtain realistic benchmark costs.
The Committee felt that increased ma:intenanceand asphalt resurfacing
expenditures on County roads was necessary in future years.
3. A meeting had been held with Don Husson, County Engineer, County of
Middlesex in which the County had agreed to the gravelling of Road #17
between the Littlewood Road and Southwold Station.
As it appeared the County of Middlesex would not be in a position to
fund the replacement of the Middlemiss Bridge for quite some years
(approximately 5 or 6 years minimum).
The Engineers agreed with the strong recvulluendation of Mr. Ken Kleinsteiber
of the Ministry of Transportation and CVlllluunications that the present
railings on the north approach spans be removed and replaced with a
railing similar to that which had been placed on the south approach span
in the hopes that the present deck could be kept in service until the
bridge was replaced.
Minor problems had been noted at the Tate's Bridge including holes in the
bridge floor, and several loads of cornstalks under the bridge. The
cornstalks would be removed so the bridge would not be damaged if they
caught on fire.
ST. THOMAS, ONTARIO
APRIL 11, 1984
PAGE 3.
Middlesex had agreed to the replacement of the centre expansion joint of
the Wardsville Bridge. (Estimated cost $10,.000 to $12,000.)
However, Middlesex felt that the replacement of the 3 open finger joints
was not warranted at this time.
The Engineers agreed to make strong recormnendations to their Committees
that a painting contract be called in 1985 to paint the ent.ire
substructure (it has not been paint.ed sinc.e it was buil t in 1959 - 1960).
The cost would probably he in the order of $25,000 to $30,000.
4. Arrangements were continuing for the retirement dinner for Arthur Gordon
and Arnold Milligan on April 30th, ticke.t sales were goiI1g very well.
5. The rest of the Canadian National Railway accounts from October of 1980
to date had been audit.ed and an amountofapproxima.te1y ~5,600 had been
deducted from them.
This ..together with the deduction of $3,400 from the CheEiapeake and Ohio
Railway accounts would mean a savings of over $9,000 to the County..
A letter of thanks had been sent .to the Municipal EngineEr's Association
for their efforts in obtaining the rehate ruling from thE Canadian Board
of Transport Cvul1uissioners.
Conrail and the Canadian Paci.fic Railway Company invoice& appeared to be
in order.
Information had been sent to all municipalities that werE: involved with
the Canadian National Railway and the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway advising
them as to how to audit their own accounts.
The Township of Southwo1d was in the process of auditing their Canadian
National Railway invoices and their savings would be in ~he order .of
$800.
The Engineer recormnended that all munici.palities take a JI.oOk at their past
railway accounts for potential savings..
Frank Clarke noted that the Village of West Lorne had be,n instructed to
audit their Chesapeake and Ohio Railway accounts on the m:ighway #76
connecting link.

18. A meeting in Yarmouth Township on the Mills Municipal Drain on County
Road #28 had been attended and the County's assessment was expected to
be approximately $6,200.
19. A meeting in Southwold Township on the extension of the Cole Drain on
County Road #19 had been attended and the County's assessment was expected
to be approximately$lO,OOO including several borings under the County
road.
20. A new maintenance budget would be presented at the May Road Conrrnittee
meeting as well as a list of surface treatment requirements and a list of
asphalt patching requirements.
21. It was believed that white edge marking, although looking reasonable after
one winter would not be satis.faetory after two years, and this matter
shoul d be reconsidered again in 1985 at budget timE!.
22. The inspection of culverts on Wellington Road (County Road #25) indicated
that a large steel areh pipe just north of County Road #52 would have to
be replaced within the next fe.w years. Further exploration would be done
this Summer to determine whether this work could bE~ postponed until the'
road was resurfaced ,or whether it would he required sooner.
The culvert was only extended when Wellington Road was rebuilt in the
early 60's and the main culver.t was.over 30 years old.
23. Repairs would be required at the large multi-pLate culvert at the Lynhurst
School as it appeared that the deepening of the Underhill Drain had
allowed the water to get under a portion of the culvert. This culvert
would have to be repaired this Sunrrner.
'?J
24. Body work was being done on Truck #8, (Hack Truck)~, as soon as this was
completed work would be done on Truck #8~
25. The 1979 Van (Truck #86) had been examined and it would require
approximately $2,000 of body work, as the van only had approximately
106,000 Km it was decided to proceed with work on :it.
26. A shaft in the rear end of Grader #18 had been replaced.
27. The motor on the air compressor, which was over 20 years old, was next to
failing as was the compressor parts. No work had been done on the
compressor and the compressor was badly outdated.

The Engineer reported that Frank Clarke and he had examined the Township
of Malahide road between Concessions II and III from Highway #73 to County
Road #40 which had been used as a detour for traffic during the construction
of the Silver Creek Culvert.
The road was in poor condition and inasmuch as most other surface treatments
had come through the past winter in quite good condition the poor condition only
could be attributed to the extra volume of traffic using the road which would
have ordinarily used County Road #42.
The Ministry recommended that the County as a part of their work at Silver
Creek repair the road and place a single ,surface treatml~nt on the road this
Summer.
The road between Concession VIII and the Gore from County Road #40 t.O
County Road #32 had also been examined. This road had been used by the County
to haul all the sand base for the construction of County Road #32 as well as
considerable amount of borrow material. It was understood that the Township
of Malahide wished to ditch the road and' to plac,e a lift of sand upon it.
It was recommended that the County place a lift of crushed gravel on top of
the sand as the County's contribution for the use of th~~ road.

After discussion the CUL1uuittee fel tthat surveying v,:rork should continue on
high priority projects and these projects should be picked on the basis of
present traffic and the potential traffic having the highest priority.
It was noted by the Committee that even if some portions of road were rebuilt
it was not likely that traffic on them would be in excess of 400 vehicles per day
and these should be considered a much lower priority than those roads which would
have traffic over this amount or which would draw traffic over that amount when
completed.
The Engineer was instructed to have a priority list available for the next
meeting.

The Engineer reported that the Gore Mutual Insurance Company was denying
liability claims for property damage on County roads under an Ontario Supreme
Court judgement that municipalities were responsible for the clearing of road
debris from road surfaces (Fatehi Case).
Mr. Lyle Wells of the Frank Cowan Company had been contacted and Mr. Wells
felt that this particular case was not a case that should involve the County
as the County claims against individuals were for damages to County property
such as guide rails, signs, etc.
Mr. Wells felt that the only method that could be tak€~n would be to make a
claim in Third Division Court against the individual.
The matter was discussed by Cvuu.uittee and suggested that the Engineer contact
the agents of Gore Mutual and suggest to them that the County was prepared to
take their insured to Third Division Court and that this could be very time
consuming for their insured, etc., for the small amount of money that was
involved.
If persuasion failed)theEngineer was authorized to proceed with the matter in
Third Division Court~
Land Purchase on County Road #30, Colin Ferguson and Dave Ferguson was discussed

soon as possible, and an offer made to Duncan and David ~~rguson thereafter.

Land purchase on County Road #30 from Colin, David and Duncan Ferguson was
discussed at some length and it was agreed that the Chairm.an, Warden,
Deputy Reeve Martyn and the Engineer should try to arrangE~ a meeting with the
Ferguson's to try and discuss the matter.
After some discussion the Engineer was instructed to launch an action in
3rd Division Court against John M. Wit10x for the maximum amount that could be
obtained in the Court for damages that resulted to Truck 1~84 on October 14, 1983
when the County truck was forced to take to the ditch to avoid Mr. Wit1ox.
The Engineer reported that Mr. Wit10x had been charged with failing to yield
and not having any insurance (two counts).
The Committee doubted that there was money available to pay any claims but
felt that a case in 3rd Division Court would not be expensive and any judgement
rendered could be upheld for a considerable length of time and perhaps such
judgement would be noted and his drivers license suspended.

The Road Committees participation in the 1985 International Plowing Match was
discussed at some length and the Engineer requested that a. policy statement on
which items should be charged to the Plowing Match and whi.ch items would be
absorbed in the Road Department's Budget.
The Committee agreed that the terms of the guide lines: from the executive of
the local International Plowing Match Cvuuuittee were very vague and there shoul d be
additional information.
Deputy Reeve Martyn and Reeve Caverly agreed to obtain the same.
It was agreed that the Engineer should remain as Chairman of the Traffic
Co-Ordinating Committee and that his duties should be clarified by the executive
committee.
The Committee agreed to the time that would have to be. spent by the Engineer and
the Assistant Engineer in organizing traffic control and other items required for
the International Plowing Match. The Committee felt that the support of County
Council was necessary to ensure success of the match.
It was felt that the Engineer should attend the annual meeting of the Plowmans'
Association to discuss the duties of the Traffic CUlluuittee! with other past County
Chairmen and to be available as required for other duties. It was also felt that
the Engineer and Assi stant Engineer shoul d meet during the~ Summer with the
Cuuuuittee Chairmen from other Counties.
Their attendance at the International Plowing Match was left in abeyance until
later.
