disposal plant but cannot deviate Into other areas of the park or use any other Georgetown park Recreation Director Doug reported to council that the Georgetown SnowmobUe Club wanted an access through Cedarv ale to cross Mam Street south at the old sewage plant He pointed out this was part of a system of trails from through Silver Creek and up to Terra Cotta said Robert had given permission for the snowmobiles to cross his property Council agreed with the report but Ernie stressed that the long hold up had been due to some members of council wanting tht actual trail spelled out in the bylaw While Im not opposed to this we could have passed the same thing two or three council meetings ago he commented We ve kicked this law around for over a year said reeve Art Speight if we find anything wrong with it we can amend it he added The recreation directors report stressed that access through was the requirement made the Georgetown Snowmobile Club He pointed out that the Club had put a great deal of effort into making it a responsible and conscious group and that the trails the have outlined would take them out of town into the rural areas Summing up the said he felt this was the right
