COUNCIL MINUTES - JANUARY 22, 2001


Council met in regular session Monday, January 22, 2001 at Sharbot Lake with all
members present except Jack Nicolson.

Heather Fox and Bev Howes Irwin were also in attendance. Also present was David
Brison of the Frontenac News. No members of the public attended.

There were no declarations of Pecuniary Interest.

Ralph Gatfield, on behalf of the Sharbot Lake and District Lions' Club attended
to discuss the Canada Day Parade. He advised the Lions' Club would organize the
parade but would not be able to fund the parades as they had for the Santa Claus
Parade. He also suggested that bands do make a parade and that the Township may
not want to fund that portion of the parade.

Don Nielsen and Patty Hollgren of Community Living attended to discuss a
community garden project. The project would be funded through grants received
by Community Living and the use of municipal property was requested.

George and Barbara Hollywood attended to request relief from paying all of the
costs associated with transfer of title which occurred in 1996. The appropriate
road closing and road assuming by-laws were not done at that time and this was
discovered during the recent sale of the property. Mr. and Mrs. Hollywood did
not feel they should pay all of the costs.

Gary Cooke attended to discuss his plans regarding a railroad museum on the
property across the road from the municipal office. Shirley Perniak and Ann
Walsh attended also. Mr. Cooke advised a meeting was being organized for the
end of January to form a committee and to work in cooperation with Village
Beautiful for funding opportunities.

Bill Ireland attended to discuss the following fire issues: 1) payment to
volunteer firefighters; 2) mileage; 3) Class D licences; 4) Elm Tree Hall;
and 5) fire department budgets. A personnel issue was discussed "in camera".
Bill Ireland was instructed to contact Glen Laffin to see if he was still
providing the service to licence volunteer firefighters for Class D/DZ before a
decision is reached by Council regarding payment of same. Mileage will not be
paid for travel within the Township of Central Frontenac but the payment for
approved training sessions and call outs was increased to help offset these out-
of-pocket expenses as reflected by the resolution below. It was suggested the
fire department budget be flat lined.

Councillor Boyce Peters advised the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority levy
has doubled partly due to the Ottawa Amalgamation but may be offset by a
reduction in the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority levy.
