Minutes1949R d H1 WI In me 1 a 1 Statutory meeting of the Council held in the Cou Pcil Chamber on Mon_ day, January 3rd, 1949, at 11 a.m. esent G. W. Monroe Reeve E. W. Armstrong Deputy Reeve A. G. Bridge Councillor R. I. Prior Councillor W. R. Sootheran Councillor Members of the Board of Education and Pu' lic Utilities Corurassion were also present at this meeting. All members of the Council and the member of the Public Utilities Com- mission took the Oath of Office before Clerk A. C. Huggins. The Reverend Father Daniel Egan gave the Invocation for the 192 9 Council. Reeve Gordon Monroe gave the inaugural address as follows: The Voter's of Stamford Township have honoured me by giving me an acclamation for Reeve in the year 1949. I appreciate this honour very greatly and will e deavour to the best of Tnv ability to live un to the confidence Placed in me by the electors. In this my second Inaugural address I would like to congratu- late Elmer Armstrong on his election to the office of Deputy Peeve and Councillors Prior and Sootheran on their re- election as Council- lors. I also have pleasure in congratulating a man who is not en- tirely a stranger in Municipal politics to this Council table, I refer to Arthur G. Bridge who has been elected to the 1949 Council. My congratulations are also extended to Mr. Keith C. MacLeod who has been re- elected by acclamation to the Public Utilities Commission for a term of two years. When this term is completed he will have served the Township of Stamford for 22 years in this capacity. The members of the Board of Education, who were elected in December, are also congratulated. These members being M. F. Jones, Warren Kent, and Mrs. A. W. F. McQueen. Due to the growth and development of our Township it is my opinion that the year 1948 was probably one of the most outstanding years in our history because of the volume of work handled by the departments of the Township, the Public Utilities Commission and the Board of Education. I do not intend to review the work of 1948 in this address but rather to enumerate some of the matters that the 1949 elected representatives will be confronted with, along with certain suggestions which I would recommend for the serious con sideration of the Council. APPOINTMENTS TO STAFF In the Fall of 1948 Stamford Township lost their Medical Officer of Health, the late Dr. A. E. Mackenzie, through death. This loss has been a particularly heavy one, and one of the first duties of the Council will be to appoint a Medical Officer of Health to replace the late Dr. Mackenzie. In December our Assessor, Mr. Frahk Walker, notified the Council that he intended to resign in the Spring of this year. Mr. Walker has given the Township excellent service and it is going to be dif- ficult to replace this official. The Council of 1948 has advertised for an Assessor. The applications to be in January 10th. If an appointment can be made shortly after we receive the applications the new Assessor will have the advantage of working with Mr. Walker until Spring. I would strongly recommend that the Council take immediate action after January 10th to appoint a Medical Officer of Health and an Assessor. ti II FIRE PROTECTION During the last year the Council passed a by -law to dissolve th three fire areas in our Municipality. The Ontario Municipal Board held a hearing on May '6th, 1948, to hear persons in favour of or opposed to this by -law. Prior to the hearing the by -law was duly advertised in the local paper and at the hearing there was no opposition and the Board approved of the by -law which became ef- fective on January 1st of this year. As stated before this by -law dissolves the three separate fire areas we had before and from this date we will have one fire rate for the entire Township instead of separate rates for the three sections. It will be the duty of the Council to set up some system of control for fire protection purposes since all equipment purchased and all other matters will be considere for the entire Township rather than for the needs of a particular area. With this in mind I would suggest to the Council that a com- mittee of 7 be appointed to be responsible for fire protection in our Municipality. The committee to be composed of one member of the Tow ship Council who would be appointed Chairman of the fire Committee and two representatives from each of the old fire areas: I believe that one representative from each of the areas should be their fire chief and one other council appointee from each area familiar with the fire requirements. I would urge that the Council set up such a committee as soon as conveniently possible. I believe purchase order forms should be used for all purchases made by the three De- partments. Any purchases of over $50.00 to be approved of and signed by the Chairman of the Fire Committee. By using purchase order forms it will assist in the accounting set up at our office and they will indicate at a glance any unpaid accounts that may be outstanding. BOARD OF EDUCATION At the election on December 6th the Voters of Stamford Townshir were asked to vote on the following question: "Are you in favour of the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Stamford initiating action to enlarge the area of the Jurisdiction of the Board of Education by adding thereto Chippewa, Willoughby and part of Lincoln County?" The matter was recommended to the Council unanimously by the Members of the Board of Education and the electors voted yea on the question 'by a majority of over 600. Since the electors have approved of the enlargement of the area of the jurisdiction of our Board of Educatio. it will be the duty of this Council to consider and pass the necessa resolution and by -law to effect such enlargement. LOCAL PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD In 1948 a Planning and Development Board was set up in this district which includes the City of Niagara Falls, Village of !Chippewa, the north part of Willoughby Township and the Township of Stamford. Ex Reeve R. F. Booth and your 1949 Reeve represent Stamfo Township on the Board. The Board was set up and organized late last year and I trust that this Board will function in such a way that te entire area will finally have a planned programme for proper develop went. It is most important to Stamford that a planning programme should be drawn up since there are a great many new subdivisions th have already been registered and several more under consideration. Our Council should work very closely with this local Board and shoul see to it that some definite policy is formulated in connection with new subdivisions that may be proposed in out -lying areas that do not have the advantages of sewer and water systems. I believe definite', that a policy should be set up that would indicate where new sub divisions of smaller lots could be located, and that the local Board should have a great deal of discretion in approving of subdivision plans in out -lying areas. LOCAL IMPROVE_dENTS I do not expect that the Local Improvement programme for the construction of sewers, sidewalks and ::atermains will be very great during this year. Last year approximately 8290,000.00 worth of local improvement construction was undertaken. Most of th;s nro- gramme has been com leted and it is expected that the balance of it will be completed within the next four or five weeks if weather permits. These improvements, which include sewermains, watermains, ar,d sidewalks, have helped to develop new sections of our Township. Perhaps the two greatest developments are in the vicinity of chester and McLeod Roads where sewer and water mains have been con structed, and the Royal subdivision north of Lundys Lane near the Queen Elizabeth Way. ROADS BUILDING BY -LAW The Council of 1948 have recommended that our building by- law be amended in such a way that no building can be erected in any part of the Township unless a building permit is secured. At the present time it is only necessary to secure a building permit if the property is in one of the two sewer areas. By passing an amendment such as proposed we will have a complete picture of all new buildings that takes place in the municipality and be in a position to control overcrowded and sanitary facilities. I feel that this is particularly important since our development has been so great during the past few years that our population now is approximately 13,000. I believe that the Council should consider the appointment of a Building Inspector who would be responsible for issuing building permits and inspecting buildings under construction to see that they conform to regulations. Since this duty would probably not take up his full time he could relieve other Departments as directed by Council. It would seem that such an appointment is necessary since the Engineer's Department does not have sufficient staff to look after this work along with the many other duties relative to their Department. I would recommend the continuation of the 1948 programme of widening and reconstructing roads in the year 1949. In subdivisions where we construct roads and pay 100% of the cost the Council should set up some definite amount for the construct' of these roads. The amount so set up would depend on the essential road construction necessary in the new subdivisions. It is my opinion that the 5 mill levy for road purposes should be maintained each year. In our road programme weshould continue the reconstruction of bridges as commenced last year since we receive a subsidy of 80% on this type of work. The Council will also have to give consideration to the recon- struction of the retaining wall at Oakes Drive. A portion of this wall is not in good shape and requires considerable repairs. We will require some small read equipment during this year but in the main our equipment is in excellent condition and costly re- placements will not be necessary. We should construct street signs on all new subdivisions. These signs to be the same as the ones already erected in the Township. I would recommend that sidewalks be constructed on the west side of the road allowance on Drummond and Portage Roads at the lo- cations where the N. S. T. bridges were taken down and the roads graded. f n 0 Ix mf. ;;Father Evan Flowers PARKS Through the generosity of Mr. John Mulhern we have acquired a very fine park in the vicinity of Woodbine Street. I strongly re- commend that this park be graded and possibly trees and shrubs plant° to make this park an asset to the residents of this particular area 'which is developing quickly. I would also recommend that Prince Edward Park be graded during II the coming year. This park is located in a district with a large port fare lation and because the land is not level the park is not being used t cation full advantage. If graded and made level I feel that it would be utilized effectively to a large extent and accommodate several dif- ferent types of recreational activities. CEMETERY gilding We have two fine Municipal cemeteries in the Township of Stamfor.ort Lundy's Lane Cemetery and Presbyterian Burying Grounds at Stamford Centre. These cemeteries are maintained and landscaped in a com- mendable manner. Last year we constructed ornamental fencing at the Lundy's Lane cemetery and appropriate stone pillars were erected at the entrances of the cemetery on Lundy's Lane and Montrose Road. I believe that a continuation of the fencing should be carried on along Montrose Road where there is roughly 600 feet more to be fenced. In addition to the fencing programme we should continue the cemetery improvements in general. HOLIDAY AND SICK LEAVE ALLOWANCES I would recommend that the Council consider setting up re- !gulations respecting holidays for all employees perhaps on a graded scale according to the length of service .employed. I think it im- portant at the same time that regulations should be set up which woul govern sick leave allowances. In conclusion it is my sincere hope that Stamford Township may enjoy a prosperous and happy 1949.
