The Village of Manor Council meeting of Feb. 18 addressed a variety of concerns in the community.
Foreman report
               Village Foreman Darren Balogh reported that water leaks and sewer problems on Main Street were fixed. Water usage between Jan. 18-31 prior to the water leaks being fixed was approximately 27,000 gallons per day. Now that the leaks have been fixed this had dropped to 17,000 gallons per day. Monthly measurements will continue to be taken.
Fire Department discussion
               The Fire Department asked for two new side boxes for the fire truck to store equipment in.
Campground lot sale
               Discussion surrounding the sale of the campground was had. The site is not a registered heritage site, the Village of Manor will take care of the cairn, Mayor Vickie Akins excused herself from the meeting eliminating a conflict of interest, and according to Council Procedures Bylaw a seconder is not required to conduct business. Ethically the village acknowledges they should have advertised and tendered the land, however, no legal breaches occurred.
               Mayor Akins then excused herself from the meeting as council discussed the sale of the campground lot further. The council made the allowance that the purchaser of the lot, Sheldon Akins, be given an extension to the agreement made regarding the original sale and the clause which required him to build on the lot within a year. He has been given until Feb. 18, 2017, to erect a building on the lot and was given the allowance due to the community discussions following the sale.
Fire extinguisher inspection
               The Village decided to have TS&M come out to inspect the fire extinguishers at The Over 60 Club and the Library in Manor. Village Administrator Ashley Corrigan will check with the fire marshal concerning fire extinguishers in all town buildings and if they are of adequate size and if they have enough located in each building. The Village of Manor will then purchase as needed, which they are sure includes one for the museum.
