        The Village of Manor met on both Aug. 31 and Sept. 16 to discuss village business including the transfer station and the fire hall.
Transfer Station
               The transfer station was discussed as it was recently changed from a landfill to a transfer station. According to government regulations Manor will become stricter regarding what can enter the burn pile and what goes into the Regens disposal at the transfer station. The transfer station supervisor, Ed Mills, has contacted Lawrence Fisher to assist in filling the Regen’s scrap metal bin when it arrives if needed, however, Mills will look into how much a grapple for the village’s tractor would cost before contacting Lawrence.
               Fees for drop offs at the transfer station are being implemented beginning Nov. 1. Bagged garbage will be $1, a half-ton full of garbage will be $20, a one-ton deck full of garbage is $40, and a three-ton full of garbage is $120. Steel Appliances will be $10 each, mattresses and furniture will cost $20, table/chairs will each be $5, and clean wood or trees will be put in the burn pile.
               Not accepted include electronics such as televisions, computers, and microwaves, tires, propane tanks, shingles, and batteries. A mattress and box spring are charged as two separate items. Painted wood goes into a bin if it is six feet long or less, normal garbage rates apply.
               Hours of operation at the landfill currently are Wednesdays 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturdays 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Staff reports
               Maintenance worker, Darren Balogh, reported in August that the water plant is running smoothly. Chlorine levels are still fluctuating and he is working towards leveling them out. The lift station is also functioning well.
               On Sept. 16, Balogh again reported everything was going well and that the water plant is keeping up with demands. During his report for September, Balogh also stated that there are signs around Manor in need of being fixed or changed.
Remuneration
               It was made so that the mayor’s remuneration is now $150 per regular meeting and $50 per special meeting, while councillors’ remuneration was changed to $125 per regular meeting and $50 per special meeting. This has taken effect as of Sept. 16.
Fire Hall
               The Village of Manor will contact Lawrence Fisher to haul gravel for the Fire Hall floor. The electricity will be addressed and the doors will be installed. The Village wishes to finish the remaining work on the Fire Hall as soon as possible.
