Present were Mayor Umscheid, Councillors Monner and Hingley, Bill Brown from S & B Holdings, and Lynda Cyr. The minutes of the meeting held on September 14 and October 6 were read. Mayor Umscheid moved the adoption of these minutes. CARRIED. Councillor Hingley said there was a dog running at large in the Village. A letter is to be sent to the resident who owns the dog. A letter was read from the Foothills Health Unit in regards to the County Regional Solid Waste Authority for transfer stations at Champion/Carmangay, Milo and Mossleigh. Councillor MOnner made a motion that the Village of Milo approve these stations. CARRIED. Councillor Hingley said he had been talking to Mr. Ron Marks, and he is requesting that his water meter be installed in his basement. Council dis­cussed this further and decided the meter will either go in a box where the water line goes to the seed plant or at the "Y" where it will go to Mr. Mark's residence. Bill Brown is to check on some more information about the meters. A new proposal from Mr. Reg Cusick was received for assessment purposes. His new proposal would cost $ 1,087.00 plus G.S.T. for an annual assessment and $ 1,980.00 plus G.S.T. for a general assessment. Councillor Monner made a motion that the Village of Milo hire Mr. Reg Cusick for their assessor for 1995. CARRIED. Mr. Cusick is currently doing the assessment for the Village with the government. Council want Lynda Cyr to check with Domoneering Design in Lomond to see how much it would be to use the old sign for the outside of the Village Office if it was repainted. A letter was read from the Ag. Society saying a motion was made to transfer the two lots next to the cafe to the Village. Since the cost of subdividing was too expensive, they are requesting a five (5) foot easement be stipulated on the title. A discussion followed. Mayor Umscheid is going to talk to someone on the Co-Op Board and see if it would be possible to have the side door moved to the other side of the building so the steps would not have to be used. This will be tabled until our November meeting and more information is available. Lynda Cyr had talked to the Oldman River Regional Planning Commission, and they said there are two options available. The lot can be sub- dfVcd7land with the village doing it, the cost would be half the normal cost of § 700.00. This would be approximately $ 350.00 - $ 400.00 plus surveying fees. Or the second option would be to enter into an encroachment agreement etween the Village and the Co-Op acknowledging the steps encroach on the property and state that we are willing to have them remain. If this was to. be registered on the title, it would be necessary to get a lawyer and file a CcLVGcIl •Lynda Cyr said she had talked to the people in regards to the infrastructure funds. It will be about six to eight weeks before the project is approved. Council have decided to go ahead with the office renovations as it will be getting too cold to do outside work before long. Councillor Monner requestedaload of gravel be purchased for the new subdivision. Terry Mullinger was to attend the meeting tonight but once again no one has heard from him. Lynda Cyr is to fax him a letter saying Council are most unhappy with his service. Alberta Environment has said they have not received anything from him in regards to the project so can not approve it until that time. Council will reopen the project for tenders unless he does something immediately. Lynda Cyr said she had attended the Municipal Administrator's Session at the convention in Calgary in regards to the new Municipal Government Act. The meeting adjourned at 7:10 p.m. Christmas Production "Christmas At The Movies" written, produced & directed by Milo Community School T'*"' 2:00 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 8 o 7:00 p.m. Welcome!! Silver collection and Food Bank DonationsCOUNCILOR COMMENTS These comments are my opinion only and not those of the County of Vulcan. Most of the Councilors attended the fall convention in Edmonton. The important part of these conventions is the oportunity to talk to Government officials and other Councilors to see what they are doing about various problems that we all have. Leon Root who was in charge of Southern Alberta Transportation has retired and the new person was the one we met with. When asked about our paved roads he said,"The Government has too much invested in them and will not let them go back to gravel". However, he did not tell us by who and how' it will be paid for. Any secondary road that does not have base coating done and does not have at least 200 vehicles per day does not gualify for paving at this time. We are .having difficulty with our local C.U.P.E. group of employees, at least some of them. In spite of Government cut backs we managed to keep everyone working at summer. It appears to me that some people like to be causing the County and their fellow workers no end of trouble. In my opinion if their attitude does not change Y will be forced to take some drastic action. There is a rumor that the school board staff that are being trans- fered to our new office in Lethbridge are to receive a severance package". I hhave not been aable to confirm this one way or another at press time. "Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy New Year" Submitted by Rranf. I.ahd Notice!

Town Council prints ail our meeting minutes in the CanOpener. All the people who elected us have been informed through this of what we're doing. Our meetings are open to anyone and all our phone numbers are listed. If anyone at any time has any concerns they can contact us. It would be very hard to try to personally talk to everyone about all the decisions we must make. 2nd. Since you would not sign your name and have wrote "Someone who was thinking of moving into Milo" I must assume you are not a village resident and were not one of the people who elected us. 3rd. To explain further, 2 decisions that seem to be of concern. 1. To all the persons or person who drive around the garbage pit fence or cut the locks off, and think we did this to inconvenience everyone, our reason was such. Enviroment, County and Foothills Health said if we did not fence. Lock and control the pit it would be filled in and we would not get a site at all. We decided the inconvenience of a controlled site would be better than hauling all our garbage to Vulcan to a controlled site there. Hence, we were not given much of a choice in this matter. 2. Water meters are again being recommended to us. Enviroment will reduce our assistance by a minimum of 10% if we do not show an attempt at water conservation, (i.e. water meters), this would mean an increase to rate payers. Most people are leading us to think that they believe in user pay, Pay for what you get. Water meters would do this. We have not decided yet on what format we will use for charging for the water, i.e. so much per gallon or flat fee for first so many gallons per month then a per gallon fee for every gallon following. We would welcome any comments on what residents would prefer. So in closing, unless you are planning or are using extreme amounts of water and want your fellow tax payers to cover some of your share, this would be a fair system.BROWNIE NEWS On November 16, the First Milo Brownies held their enrolment. Several guests were entertained with songs, explanations of what happens at a regular weekly meeting and of course the Tweenies enrolment into the pack. A forest theme was chosen. Tweenies Kayla Armstrong, Jennifer Way and Katie Wilson each took their turn walking on the stone path to the toadstool to say their Brownie Promise and become a REAL Brownie. This was a very special ceremony for the girls and a pleasure for the leaders to welcome three new girls to the pack.Tawny Owl, Jo-Anne was quite pleased to have her daughter Katie enrolled as she was herself a few years back! Everyone enjoyed a lunch of Girl Guide cookies, especially enjoying the new mint cookies. The girls will be selling these cookies at their Valentines Day craft sale at the school. On December 12, weather permitting, the pack is looking forward to attending a Rally in High River, with an evening of bowling. Several packs get together at this event and it is nice for Sparks, Brownies and Guides to share time together. Hopefully we will get in some Christmas carolling in and have heard reports from some of the residents in town they look forward to hearing the girls. Until next time....
