New town councillor

                In acceptance to council by acclimation, John Brownlee, has taken a seat as an alderman and will begin in 2015. His first meeting will be on Jan. 7.

Bridge inspection on Railway Ave. W.

                Councillor Sedor brought up concerns regarding Railway Ave. W.’s bridge stating that rebar was sticking out of it. This has actually been an ongoing concern with Huguette Lutz, Chief Town Administrator, inquiring with the engineer actively about the bridge inspection.

General information

                Jenn Sedor, council member, was nominated to the Homespun Committee.

                The Town office was closed at noon on Dec. 24 and is not open for Christmas or Boxing Day.

                The Water Security Agency will be conducting an assessment in the new year. This is a mandatory assessment done every few years.

                The town was having difficulties keeping a driver on with the Transit Van because it was not being used often and only had one rider, so decided to store the vehicle; however, in a letter to council an individual asked if they could use the van to transport someone with a wheelchair to and from church on Sunday’s last meeting and was approved on Dec. 17. The individual has volunteered to drive, but only wants to drive this one person on Sundays. If demand for the Transit Van goes up, then town will look into a more permanent driver.

                The rest of the matters including signage, the airport sign, council remuneration, and Regens Disposal were tabled until January. Two councillors were unable to attend and although a council meeting could still be held with those attending, they felt it best not to make any big decisions without input from the others ensuring the town’s interests are best represented.
