        The Carlyle Town Council met on Wednesday, Oct. 7, to discuss various town matters including an update from the Fire Board and Chamber of Commerce, as well as
Fire Board update
               The Fire Board meeting update delivered by Darcy Moore was positive at the Town of Carlyle council meeting. While the fires up north were raging, volunteers from Carlyle along with one of the fire trucks was sent to help fight fires. They volunteered for duty, but the Government of Saskatchewan asked for them to put in for their time. The Fire Department recently received a cheque for $65,000 to reimburse the volunteers for their time and for the use of the equipment.
Chamber of Commerce report
               The Chamber of Commerce report stated that they would like to work with the Town of Carlyle in regards to tourism. Following the formation of the Chamber regarding taxation a few years ago they are now looking for a goal to focus on and feel as though tourism is a big part of the area. They also hope to meet with and speak to the business community at large to see what they want to see done in Carlyle.
Other matters
               Millennium asked to have their two large parcels along Railway Ave. subdivided. The Town discussed this and said that they could not approve it until there is access to the eastern lot proposed to be subdivided. The lot cannot be accessed for commercial by Railway Ave. because it is not a truck route, so Highways will have to approve and put in a service road prior to the Town being able to allow the subdivision.
               The resignation from the town office from Carrie Pelletier was accepted reluctantly.
               The 2016 regular meeting schedule was approved.
               Quotes regarding moving dirt and filling in areas around the commercial and residential subdivisions were accepted.
               A building permit was requested by an individual who wants to turn their attached garage into a living space. The plans will be sent to the building inspector before the Town makes a decision on the matter.
               Lights out along Main Street will be fixed soon as workers will be out to make sure everything is illuminated for Hallowe’en. If there is ever a street light out, contact SaskPower to let them know or use the SaskPower app which pinpoints your location on a smart phone as to which lights are out.
