COUNCIL MINUTES - DECEMBER 15, 1998

Council met in regular session, Tuesday, December 15, 1998 at 8:30 am. with all
members present.

Staff members Jim Hegadorn, Bev Irwin and Heather Fox attended. Judy Gray
attended during the payment voucher discussion.

Prior to the regular meeting a public meeting was held to discuss any concerns
regarding an application for zone change for Sinclair Marshall at part lot 8,
Concession VII, Oso District. No one attended either in support of or in
opposition to the re-zoning.

Regular Council convened at 8:35 am.

Mel Conboy, Oso District Fire Chief attended to discuss the possibility of
purchasing an air generator to be used to fill self contained breathing
apparatus. Mel also requested guidance regarding billing procedures to other
municipalities where an agreement is in place. He was instructed to proceed in
the same manner as in the past until such time as the agreement is revised or
revoked. The billing is to be handled by the municipal office, and Bedford
District of South Frontenac Township, is to be billed for their share of the
Rescue Unit. The Clerk was instructed to write a letter to the Ministry of the
Solicitor General to request information on funding regarding the use of the
Rescue Unit during the search and rescue effort of the O.P.P. to locate a
missing person during hunting season.

Hugh Gray attended to request a break down of the costs of the work done on the
Henderson Road and to determine why he had not been awarded any work on that
project. He recommended that work awarded by the Township be divided up in the
future. Mr. Gray was advised his concerns would be taken under advisement for
new work projects.

Sandra White, Manager of the Sharbot Lake Branch of the Royal Bank was scheduled
to make a presentation on the merge of the Royal Bank and the Bank of Montreal,
but due to an announcement by the Government, the presentation was no longer
necessary. Ms. White attended to briefly discuss any concerns Council had with
banking services.
