the effect llie firtt two year term hue had on the towni administrative und workc operation many bencflti have become evident under the new lyilcm i he igoit important of whlcii was the udditimiul 0 or isflduyiol conliniioiu operation november through january of lull year normally hampered by lack of direction due to nomination lime und llie resulting election procedure and tin w uuijlly u coniummg delay until the new cougcit formw lie commit lirot i ini of courte will only happen once every twit years while hie two year term k in cllccl since regional govcriimeril uv we now understand it ic no douhl going to become a rculity the only thliii we can do in ihc meantime ir to fnve lei develop the heil program possible lor acton so llial tome eirabjmhed preferred tyre of operation will emt at llie time of the changeover and therefitre may become incorporated inio the new lynteni 1967 ot coiirie watferttcnmal year and most ol ylm are quite familiar with the ac livity and evenlv of that now historical period foi acton und the whole nation the desire lo do uinielhiiig important in i o eventually led to the construction of our ijew and udlyneedcd library and this wn tupplcnicnted by the action of hie local hydro uiiiiiiiv11111 when they managed to luuc compleled al the untie lime anolhei line building lo meet llieir need and dial of a growing coinmunily new residential construction caused an increase of over 101 percent in building penults issues in l67 and even exceeded thai in i96h the towns assessment has gone from s7mjd in ls io j7074m al the presenl tune which will increase our mill rate lo a value or almost shooo in l67 we became very concerned about our senior cilien accommodation and a possible town housing development for our lower income citizens who cannot afford the usual home being built in our regular subdivision developments today riirougli the year 0i7 we made great strides to get all the necessary approvals etc completed for our sewage liealiuent plant in that first year we also made vast improvements in our dump control program necessity and public demand caused us to improve our site and operations at a greatly increased cost we dealt willi matters of offslreet parking and tratfic control and our new personnel committee dealt with various items concerning stafl and administration procedure including llie negotiations with the canadian union of 1iihhc i mplovees the completion of the i any 1akc dredging operation should be fairly well timed with the completion of out new sewage treatment plant so thai the itnptoved tlow in lilick creek will help us to control the ii o i count of our final diluent lor which we are held responsible by llie owkc in january l7 the estimated cost was s4okhm but by the time hie lowest tender was accepted in june ixh il had mctcased lo sh7islk much of our lime and a great deal ol work ol course was taken up with the completion work in 1 ukeview subdivision and tl might be timely to inform you at this lime that lor the inline we have taken the required action lo jssure you will not have a repeat ol the problems we inherited in likeview we have had several meetings willi the conservation authority and lleardmore co and the contractors relative to the dredging m 1 uiry i ake and there is no doubt that in the final analysis hie aesthetic imptoveiiienl to hie lake the patk and hie total surrounding atea plus the addition usefulness to out people will be much apptectated by everyone considerable improvements were carried out in our police office which now gives them a much more tunctional facility our first crawlerloader was added to our equipment lot use at our new dump site llus is the type ol equipment icqimcd to cany out the approved umtaiy land fill method or dump

with the cooperation of the v hoard lo oiler our public a more suitable dmvicc at a modest cost it has also proven lo be a much more functional atea in which to carry out the towns administrate work council did by resolution advertise properly on chuichill road south zoned for apartments foryule and invited options with the proviso thai it would he sold tof the express purpose ot providing apartments apartments are now unjci construction many plans of subdivision arc now beloie council and a good hard look is being taken al all ol the ramifications that accompany new development on a large scale our new subdivides agreement i mentioned earlier is nosv almost completed and this basic control plus the attached schedules as they apply lo each area lo be developed will enable us to accept llus new development in a rational progressive and secure way that will assure us ol a controlled growth as it relates to municipal financial responsibilities and its direct el feci upon the taxpaveis we have held two public meetings on the proposed closing ol actons station and the only recourse we have let t now is hie tinal hearing to be held in liiiclph in the neai inline a new fire
