        A variety of topics were covered on Wednesday, Sept. 2, by Carlyle's town council including an aspect of paying taxes and the new subdivision.
Taxes
               It was brought to council's attention that certain payments to the town for taxes, if paid at the bank or online, would not process right away. The town would get a notification that the amount had been paid, but do not receive the amount for up to 30 days later.
               So, if an individual paid in June and their payment didn't go through until later, the July rate would be applied. However, the individual paying thought that they were getting the June rate. This was an oversight and was corrected. The rate will be at the amount on the day of the notification by the banking institute and will be held as an outstanding debit until the transaction amount actually goes through.
New Subdivision
               Discussion arose surrounding the new subdivision and if there should be housing stipulations on the lots to make the area uniform. Councillors were asked to think about this matter, whether it be a minimum square footage or a minimum frontage sized according to the lot.
               Street lighting was approved by SaskPower for the area.
Concern from a home owner
               Near the Access building south of the rink there was blue sewer pipes stuck in the ground as a type of marker for snowmobilers and quaders to slow down and be careful through this area. The posts were removed to more easily cut grass in the area. The homeowner would like something put up to slow people down again because of concerns that a vehicle could go through the side of the house with how it is situated.
               The town is putting trees up in the area already, so are going to see if the homeowner would be happy with a few strategically placed trees with reflective tape on them.
Homespun
               During Homespun a limousine golf cart requested permission to be on the road following a specific route between the quilt show on Main Street and the rink on Saturday, Sept 19, from noon to 5 p.m. This was approved, but a caveat was created saying they didn't want the golf cart to travel on Main Street but to go through the back alley instead. Concerns arose regarding it stopping on Main Street during a busy day in town.
Rubber matting
               This year's project regarding the town's planned walking paths was to put rubber matting out through Centennial Park. It has not yet been done, so is planned to be completed before winter arrives.
General comments
               Town councillors reported that they had numerous compliments on the town including Main Street and what the new subdivision looks like.
               Councillors received compliments regarding the efforts of the town maintenance men.
               The Fire Department went out to PureChem to better understand the goings on there in case of an emergency.
               Councillors are attending various meetings in the area. Jenn Sedor will attend the SUMA Â鶹ÊÓƵeast Regional Meeting, John Brownridge and Martin Tourand will go to a Saskatchewan Emergency Planners Association workshop, and Brian Romaniuk will attend a building standards workshop.
