South Frontenac Council - Feb 5/13

Wilma Kenny | Feb 07, 2013

Revised Committee Structure

For the past year, Council has used a committee structure to guide and streamline discussion at Committee of the Whole: following recent assessment, the Development Services Committee has been discontinued. Council approved the following appointees for the remaining two standing committees: Public Services, Al McPhail, John McDougall, and Cam Naish; Corporate Services, Ron Vandewal, Mark Tinlin, Larry York and Bill Robinson. Committee of Adjustment continues to have two representatives from each district: councillors Tinlin, Vandewal, Robinson and York, and citizen appointees David Hahn, Len McCullough, Larry Redden and Ken Gee.

Public Works

Council approved several tenders recommended by Public Works Manager Segsworth: a half ton extended cab truck from Edwards Ford for $32, 798; consulting engineering services for the James Wilson Road culvert from the Greer Galloway Group, for $29,201; and Smiths Construction Company for supply and application of the Township’s surface treatment in the amount of $447,933. These expenditures 
were all part of the 2013 budget.

Council endorsed the new Waste Disposal Sites Operational Plan, to be implemented on May 1 of this year. The Public Works Department will be hosting public information sessions over the next few months to communicate and promote these changes.

Cemetery Rates Amended

Perpetual care charges have been reduced from $750 to $300 for traditional lots, and from $375 to $150 for cremation lots.
