REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
Report# 75-Public Safety Committee ... Various Matters
r-·-·: The Committee respect fully submits the following:
A meeting of the Public Safety Committee was held on Thursday, September 9th, 1982
at 7:30 p.m. in the Administrative Centre.
Present Were: Councillors Ostick, Stoddart and Ochalski, Fire Chief S.G. Wilson,
Deputy Fire Chief D. Patrick and Citizen Member Ted Bessant.
1. Letter # 15-85 -Health and Safety Act -Protective Equipment Standards
All equipment now being purchased complies with the Act.
The Fire Chief will report on the costs involved in upgrading existing
clothing and equipment. This can be done over a three (3) year period.
2. Sight Lines South-west Corner -Centre Street and Walton Drive
The line of sight has been improved by taking down the existing fence and
replacing it with a farm wire fence. This was a joint project of the
property owner and the Town.
The property owner is apparently not satisfied with the finished job and is
prepared to split the cost of a chain link fence.
The Committee recommends that the top of the wire be cut to level of the top
rail and stapled down.
It is considered that to do further work would create an awkward precedent.
A chain link would blend in with the existing hodge-podge of fencing no
better than the existing one.

Mr. Randy Alcorn explained to the Committee the requested revision to the
Draft Plan, to permit one extra lot, containing the old farmhouse. The
